When President Trump, Mitch McConnell Republican majority leader in the U.S. Senate and the republicans in congress told the American people after the mass killings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio they would take up gun control legislation when congress returned from their Labor Day break? Well, they returned over two months ago and not a word has been said on the issue from the cowards beholding to the NRA and the gun lobby. Trump and his party even failed to take up the gun control legislation on background checks passed by the democratic controlled U.S. House in February, long before the two above shootings took place.
The democratic party did not wait for the next shooting to occur, they kept their 2018 pledge to act on a matter that has taken too many innocent lives. Trump and his republican cowards have failed to answer the call and just yesterday, two more students were shot and killed in California and two more were wounded. The cowards could have passed the House's bill timely if they were not beholding to the NRA and the gun lobby. The democrats responded with common sense and did not allow the NRA and the gun lobby's money intimidate their responsibility to the public.
This is the same President and republican party who have not taken up, acted on, or passed one piece of immigration legislation in the 33 months they have been in control of the country. All they have is their lies and do nothing rhetoric designed to divide the country and not address the problem. America is experiencing a time of sickness born by a President who is mentally unstable and a party willing to appease the sick behavior un-becoming an American President. And to make matters worse, some republicans are trying to make the American people believe we have to live with this kind of sickness. And that really says it all.
