Its refreshing to see elected officials finally standing up for what they believe in and look to curb this national epidemic of gun violence. Will the bills they want to take up solve all of the problems? Not even close, but any progress is worthwhile right now. We've stood still for too long with bogus straw man arguments.
We have to go beyond these public displays and keep the conversation going. The NRA is focused on this issue everyday, not just after a mass shooting. Its about time the public has the same focus on this issue. Maybe this time will be different than all the others, at least one can hope.
