While our wins just get us "big whoop, it's not enough and doesn't mean anything".

But I thought they were going to regain their sanity after Biden was elected. So much for a return to normal.

We really need to get all of our wives to join moms demand action. Then they could imitate squaregrouper and fight for the 2A instead of reading a script off a piece of paper like a mindless drone.None of us who were in the committee room for that will ever forget it. The best part was watching Sen. Smith's body language as everyone realized what was happening. You could almost hear his thoughts go from "I can't allow this" to "Screw it, this might actually be entertaining" as he motioned to the Capitol Police bouncers to not intervene. That said quite a bit about what he thinks about the sanctimonious Red Shirts. Just because he agrees with them doesn't mean he likes them.

"Freedom of speech is threatened by extremists who want to muzzle us. They demand the right to carry guns without permits, without training, without background checks ... because they say they want to protect me. When I turn down their vigilante-ism, they get pretty upset, and seem ready to murder me too. They gather on social media and talk about how they'll get me to to be quiet. Well, I'm here to say I won't be silent. With my voice, I will speak for John, I will speak for the families who aren't here because they can't talk about this without choking on their own words. Their freedom of speech has been taken away from them. We are here to speak for them. We are here to mourn and to remember; to honor the lives of those have been cruelly taken away from us. We are dedicated to preventing this from *never* [sic] happening again - to any newspaper, to any family, to anyone. I've spent the last three years fighting for change, urging legislators to pass a bill that requires background checks for all firearms in Maryland. A bill that was vetoed. I still have hope that our leaders, including our Governor, will use the powers we give them to make changes to prevent the impact of this violence. He's had three years to ask us how we are doing ... I don't see him here today.
"They call it senseless. They call it accidental. But it makes perfect sense ... because the gun is right there like Sir Edmund Hillary said about Mt. Everest - 'because it's there.' And there's nothing accidental about these forseeable, preventable acts of violence. We demand our leaders use their positions to make real, meaningful change that will save lives.
"The freedom of the press isn't just a responsibility of government, it's a responsibility of all of our institutions, our industries, our investors, and individuals. In addition to the First Amendment, and this particularly in addition to the Second Amendment, we are here because the Constitution commands us to do everything we can, as we the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure our domestic tranquility, provide for *our* common defense, promote *our* general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and for our posterity ... thank you for coming."
