Gun control was an uphill climb in Congress well before Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
But now that Trump is less than a month away from taking the oath of office, that climb arguably has turned into vertical scaling of a sheer rock face with rope and harness.
Trump benefited from the National Rifle Association’s endorsement and airing of televised ads that characterized Democrat Hillary Clinton as a threat to Second Amendment rights.
Ed.: Inauguration is actually January 20th, almost two months away. |

"But now that Trump is less than a month away from taking the oath of office .... "
Has inaugaration day been moved from Jan. 20th until Dec. 20th? Or has someone forgot how to count?
Are the other facts in the story equally questionable?
Our vaunted press in action ........... *sigh*. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
