How long is this going to be allowed to go on?! How many years ago was Columbine or Parkland or Sandy Hook?? In 1994 President Clinton was able to pass the Assault Weapons Ban with the support of the living former presidents, one Democrat and two Republican - Carter, Ford and Reagan.

Yes, it is.

Congressional Republicans will oppose any meaningful legislation.

And even if a meaningful measure were enacted, it would be struck down by a Supreme Court dominated with conservative ideologues.
