Several bills in one week, being forced upon a public that has said “NO” to any new gun laws time and time again.
There’s only one thing they’ll listen to. Everything else has been tried… time and time again
And NO, the NRA-ILA isn’t going to straighten this out for you. They’re just going to ease some form of these bills into law and tell their members (donators) there was no choice but to make these compromises.
