Bill Maher and his Real Time panel ripped Democrats again on Friday for not setting themselves apart from Republicans when it comes to gun safety laws, pointing out that even Fort Hood shooter Ivan Lopez questioned how easy it was for a person with mental health issues to have access to firearms months before attacking the base.

“Our gun laws are so crazy, even crazy people know that they’re crazy,” Maher said.

Daily Beast editor-in-chief John Avlon agreed, mentioning the bipartisan gun bill that could not make it into law despite overwhelming public support following the 2012 mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

“They were trying to close a loophole reflecting mental health,” Avlon said. “It is so nuts that we aren’t able to get through a law with 90 percent support? That shows how paralyzed we are.”

Maher and Avlon also mocked Georgia Democrats for not standing up against the Republican-backed “guns everywhere” bill making it easier to carry guns into churches, public facilities and bars.

i don't see the point of Dems in  red zones first how did they get elected if they are now afraid to not support the right wing agenda as far as guns.  what good is a seat warmer that won't vote their party line they are not just DINO's they are RINO's behind the curtain.  if you get elected for the agenda of your opposition then you are your opposition and your worst enemy is yourself.

and it all seems to hover over guns i know that makes it difficult if not impossible for Progressives to win but electing one that is complicit with republican law might as well vote what you get.  we need a strong Progressive not afraid of what's right if they lose they still up their stock for next time.
