Chapter 26-The NRA and Epilogue

Send us Fan MailNovember 7, 2018...This is not a day of triumph, a day of success, a day of elation. there is only a feeling of what if...What if something had been done about the increase of mass shootings? On a local, State, or Federal level?  need What if there had been no AR-15s to purchase, no AK-47s to buy? What if there had been no need for a semi-automatic pistol? What if there had been no need for a website where mass shooting victims would go to grieve, to wonder out loud why nothing is being done. If that had been true, there would have been no need for the events of November 7th......"Somehow this has become routine! The reporting is routine, my response, here at this podium ends up being routine, the conversation in the aftermath of it, we've become numb to this. We talked about this after Columbine and Blacksburg, after Tucson, after Newtown, after Aurora, after Charlestown. It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun."  President Obama, 10/01/2015, after Umpqua Community College shooting
