You look at the Public Opinion solidly ins moved favor of background checks and waiting. And an assault weapons ban and waiting periods and an assault weapons ban. Its only time before that leads to change. We have to work on the ground. We are hoping for instant gratification, but whats really going to change america is a whole lot of grassroots organizing, like the sparkling students those parkla
