That's how things work in DC. Allocate lots of money for some popular project but fail to allocate those funds when the lobbyists find their way into the Appropriations Committee. The NRA and other lobbys like Big Pharma, petrochem and the like don't bother fighting bills up front because they know that instead of fighting 435 representatives they only have to buy off a handful of the 51 members of the Appropriations Committee.

I don't know what to do about it except re-take the House. Even that won't do any good unless the Gun Safety Lobby, which doesn't exist, can outspend the NRA/ILA that has so far spent ten times the money spent by all of the gun safety groups combined, including Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety.

Gunz is soooooo special.

So the government is corrupt and self-interested with no stake in actually protecting people so your solution to this is to allow them the make rules restricting the rights of the people.

I suppose that is one technique.
