Well, I get your frustration MS.
And, I think you realize that you can't accurately speak to how everybody else feels or know what efforts they do or don't make.
Some people don't care or don't do anything. Other people do everything in their power to block positive change. No argument there.
But, some of us get involved in educational programs, write our representatives, sign petitions, etc...
And some people with big money, high public exposure and/or lots of passion and time do, in fact, lobby for more gun safety/control legislation.
I think those change efforts are going to start paying off soon as the "special interest-owned politicians" continue falling out of favor. While, I agree with you that it shouldn't be such a tough fight and take so damned long, I'm optimistic.
P.s. Jeb Bush recently said when this "stuff happens" in relation to the recent mass murder, so you kinda got your wish granted there.
