Bipartisan Senate group proposes ‘no fly, no buy’ gun measure

As an American, I know that we've never been perfect as a country, but darker periods have always been overcome.  That's the past, which, we are always warned, is not prologue.  The 1950s were dark, in their way, but nothing like now.  Other than the period just prior to the ACW, I can't think of a precedent.  So we will either save our democracy or it will degrade into something more autocratic.  It's up to us.  No one is riding to the rescue.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
