In love with NRA money

The patent Republicans' response, including our president, "We don't need to talk about this now."

Why? That's easy because the NRA will withhold mega donations to their campaigns. What the Republicans are saying is we are hiding behind the Second Amendment and worship the money that the NRA gives them.

I am a combat veteran, 196th Light Infantry Brigade, Vietnam 1968/1969. I know what these weapons can do to the human body, and they absolutely don't need to be sold to the public.

Our Republican congressmen from Illinois will have lame excuses for not doing anything to stop this craziness. They are all cowards. So go vote for them, and watch more innocent children, women and men be slaughtered on the streets, in our schools and in our homes. If you do continue to vote for them after this, shame on you.
