Here are two important articles and reports from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. The first, from the NYT, is a discussion about the Brady Bill—an important 10 minute video. It took seven years of battles to get the Brady Bill passed. It takes a long time to make a difference. The second, discusses how the NRA will not allow guns in their meeting with Mike Pence as a speaker. If guns make events/places/families/schools safer, why do they not practice what they preach?
