....And Nobody Came

In Massachusetts, they called a meeting about "bump stocks" and other accessories to make guns fire faster AFTER passing a law to more tightly regulate them....and nobody came, except the politicians. The Las Vegas shooting happened on October 1, and their laws (two of them) were passed on October 11, and 12. I don't think we've ever before seen a legislature act as fast. Never mind that such bans will not stop a single mass shooting. They "did something," even if it was USELESS. Anybody who thinks a LAW will stop somebody intent on KILLING a bunch of people from getting the guns they need is an imbecile. The pro-gun people didn't come because they saw no need to discuss what was already done. Nobody else was interested. As usual, they couldn't come up with something that would actually WORK, so they did the best they could, which amounted to nothing, while further restricting our rights under the Constitution.
