Well this is going great:

Let's summarize:

In Florida we elected a Republican Governor and a Republican majority in the State House and Senate. We were promised that an open carry bill would sail through and be signed by the Gov. Scott. Instead we got a law preventing those under 21 from purchasing any firearm, a statewide 3 day waiting period to purchase a firearm and a ban on "Bump Stocks".

At the Federal level we elected a Republican President and a Republican majority in the House and Senate. We were promised no new infringements on the 2nd Amendment,Concealed Carry Reciprocity across all 50 states and passage of The Hearing Protection Act (removing silencers from the NFA ) So what have we got so far: a pending ban on "Bump Stocks" and hints of more restrictions to come.

Now just for laughs let's compare the Obama administration (and no I'm not defending him it's just an observation). We were promised the end was here. Semi autos would be banned, high capacity mags would be banned, registration of firearms, you name it. So what did we get with Obama: "Bump Stocks" were made legal by his ATF. He also signed a bill making it legal to conceal carry in National Parks. He also signed a bill allowing firearms in checked baggage on Amtrak Trains reversing a ban put in effect after 9/11.

Now WTF is wrong with this picture. I feel like I've slipped into an alternate universe.

Perhaps that is why there are many people who question how it is that after each school shooting there is an immediate, planned outpouring of political activity. Legislatures that take years to decide on other issues have a bill ready to vote on in hours. And the signs are ready, the buses are hired, and the interviews are taped - even before the bodies are buried.
