And Bush gave them civil immunity so it's not like they can be targeted like Big Tobacco. They make too much money peddling death to give a damn.

At least Colorado has finally made some progress on their gun laws after they shrugged off Columbine for over a decade and were close to doing the same with Aurora.

I think the key is that we need to be pushing gun control at *all* levels of government.
