It might've. I don't tend to pay attention to state politics anymore because (1) It's depressing, (2) does that proposed measure (now law?) sound like it was written up by smart, responsible people elected by smart, responsible voters? Interestingly recently somebody named the Tennessee State Legislature the WORST in the country as the most useless.

For example, Nashville loves to pass their resolutions. 70% of all the measures they passed are resolutions, specifically non-binding resolutions. Translation: They aren't worth a bucket of warm piss, and have as much power as the Queen of England. Yup Nashville definately deserved that award.

I am not hopeful that any precautions (and God forbid restrictions) with gun laws will prevail, even after yesterday's tragedy but I also refuse the to accept that NOTHING can be done. mad

Nothing is going to happen. Everybody is afraid of the NRA's political influence. Then again consider reading what those folks think about Obama, and they swear that ANY MINUTE he'll take their guns away. Even though he's done absolutely jack shit on the matter, they truely believe he's going to abolish the Constitution and cede power away to the United Nations or whatever nutjob conspiracy junk they always cite.

(U.N. having real power? HA! In what Twilight Zone alternate reality are we living in where that Third World soapbox has that much influence?)

Oh wait the one thing they hate about Obama was those gun stings he's had the government deploy to try to stop weapons from getting smuggled into Mexico, into the hands of those Drug Cartels. (One of them going south was the source of that "Fast & Furious" scandal against Attorney General Holder in recent years.) Why does the NRA hate such anti-crime measures? Why are they against Common Sense?

Beats the shit out of me.
