America is going to hell in a hand basket, the country knows it, many feel powerless, that they are hostage to the gun lobby, Republicans are cowards. What she said was wrong, but it pales in comparison to the carnage. What's wrong with background checks, limiting sales of automatic weapons, screening for mental illness, closing the loopholes on gun shows? Republicans are to blame for the continuing massacres because they pander to the gun lobby while 63 people are being gunned down on American streets every day.
