...and we can be once again, if we demand better from our leaders.

I read an interesting article on one of the gun forums I frequent. The author takes a a somewhat parental look on politics and says that we reward bad behavior in some of our elected officials. In other words, we re-elect many people that do bad things or engage in unethical or illegal behavior. The result is that we encourage, on some level, them to break the rules or at least tell them it is ok.

I agree with you, Steves.

And as an added note, Democratic members of the current Congress also had a toe in these disgusting goings on. No party is clean on this.

Until there is punishment for wrong doing there is nothing to stop it from happening again.
