And I know it won't be long before John Bolton doubles everyone's black cloud no matter where you hang your hat. By God we had today though, people are readying for the midterms.

Not sure where you got the one million number.  Maybe from the same place that said Clinton would beat Trump.

That's not a crack, that's a Grand Canyon-sized chasm.  And it came courtesy of the involvement of Marion Hammer, an NRA lobbyist:

Hammer is the National Rifle Association's Florida lobbyist. At seventy-eight years old, she is nearing four decades as the most influential gun lobbyist in the United States. Her policies have elevated Florida's gun owners to a uniquely privileged status, and made the public carrying of firearms a fact of daily life in the state. Daley was referring to a law that Hammer worked to enact in 2011, during Governor Rick Scott's first year in office. The statute punishes local officials who attempt to establish gun regulations stricter than those imposed at the state level. Officials can be fined thousands of dollars and removed from office.

[...]

From this office, Hammer has shepherded laws into existence that have dramatically altered long-held American norms and legal principles. In the eighties, she crafted a statute that allows anyone who can legally purchase a firearm to carry a concealed handgun in public, as long as that person pays a small fee for a state-issued permit and completes a rudimentary training course. The law has been duplicated, in some form, in almost every state, and more than sixteen million Americans now have licenses to carry a concealed handgun.

In the early two-thousands, Hammer created the country's first Stand Your Ground self-defense law, authorizing the use of lethal force in response to a perceived threat. Some two dozen states have adopted a version of Stand Your Ground, giving concealed-carry permit holders wide discretion over when they can shoot another person.

This is a really long article, but it is well worth reading, and will answer any questions you have about why or how someone like Nicolas Cruz "slipped through the cracks."

There is no second amendment issue regarding ammo.

And your standard argument is a terrible argument as everyone would still be able to have guns - you just wouldn't be able to have much ammo of your own.

The point you're also missing is that these "criminals" didn't obtain guns illegally.  And when they do - usually that means they buy them legally in one state where it's legal and transport them illegally to another state - not that they were originally purchased illegally.  Which is why nationwide laws are so important.

 These kids are very savvy. They understand how the media works. They know that the lifeblood of politics is money. They are determined to beat the NRA when it comes to getting the political votes. What they are doing to Marco Rubio is great. They call out his cowardice and greed at every opportunity. Other NRA owned politicians should take note.

So powerful. You never get silence on tv.  As the bobble heads said, silence is uncomfortable.  Your mind starts trying to fill it.  You can not help feeling just how long 6:20 could be if you are being hunted.

One kid said it reminded him of the silence in the homes and at the dinner tables of the dead kids.

Our elected officials MUST ACT by:

(1.) Passing a law to ban the sale of assault weapons like the ones used in Las Vegas, Orlando, Sutherland Springs, Aurora, Sandy Hook and, most recently, to kill 17 innocent people and injure more than a dozen others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

(2.) Prohibiting the sale of high-capacity magazines such as the ones the shooter at our school--and so many other recent mass shootings used.

(3.) Closing the loophole in our background check law that allows dangerous people who shouldn't be allowed to purchase firearms to slip through the cracks and buy guns online or at gun shows.
