It's been nearly one year since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Many hoped the shooting would reinvigorate national efforts on gun control. And maybe it did, for a short while. But any attempt at a vote in Congress was quickly stymied. It wasn't long before gun control was finished at the federal level.
But what about in the states? The New York Times examined every law concerning gun rights introduced in state legislatures since the December 14, 2012 shooting and the results are, well, depressing.The Times found roughly 1,500 gun laws brought up in state legislatures since Sandy Hook. A bit more than one-tenth of those — 178 — passed at least one chamber. More than 100 actually became law. As the report reveals, "almost every state has enacted at least one new gun law."That's not the depressing part. The next sentence is:"Nearly two-thirds of the new laws ease restrictions and expand the rights of gun owners.
how many so called Americans want what they want in-spite of what they want takes countless lies that could be cut back by the simple choice of not letting those predisposed to have guns, is it that more who have guns would be denied by such a law is that why they don't want it?
A grand total of 70 of the 109 laws passed since the Newtown shooting loosen gun restrictions. In the wake of a tragedy that took the lives of 26 people, most of them children, the majority of state legislatures chose to make it easier to get a gun, and expand the locations where someone can carry a firearm, including schools.In the immediate wake of shootings like Sandy Hook, we're told not to politicize the tragedy. Okay, fine. But it's been a year, so let's politicize: of course the far majority of state legislatures that voted for increasingly lax gun laws are controlled by Republicans.
no surprise there they want to take food from babies, cancel your right to vote, forget women period so why not continue to let children and adults die by the gun. they say if you live by it you die by it, can't wait for them to start droppinbg like flies instead of innocent Americans and children.
