It's a disgrace that the Republicans in the U.S. Congress and President Trump are so afraid of losing big money and support from the National Rifle Association that they won't even consider a ban or even more scrutiny on the sale of automatic weapons. They still remain steadfast in their opposition to any kind of serious debate even after all of the terrible tragedies involving guns and automatic weapons that have happened. The Republican Controlled U.S. House of Representatives was to busy protecting big busine$$, who break laws (including the American Disabilities Act and the Family Leave Act) designed to protect disabled workers, from being penalized and cheated out of their rightful pay, to take the traditional "moment of silence" in remembrance of the victims of the shooting in Florida. What's wrong with them? They want to allow big business to discriminate and cheat against the disabled. They also protect the gun manufacturers and the N.R.A. instead of protecting American citizen's, especially young people who are going to school without having to fear for their safety and their lives! <https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/2/15/1741691/-House-puts-off-moment-of-silence-for-Parkland-being-too-busy-stripping-rights-of-disabled-people?>
It’s only February and peak 2018 might have just been reached in the House of Representatives. The only thing that victims of gun slaughter can count on from Congress is a moment of silence, and today they didn’t even get that. The House postponed...

You are right - it is absolutely dreadful. Let's get this straight - there is an organization in the United States that protects the rights of people to possess lethal weapons that have no purpose other than to enable mass murder to take place. Will somebody please tell me how this differs from the aims of a terrorist organization like ISIS or Al-Qaeda? Why are the directors of the NRA not being rounded up and sent to Guantanamo Bay?
