Congressional committees are hearing from survivors of recent mass shootings as lawmakers consider revisions of federal gun laws to limit the spread of military style weapons among the general public.
There has been a lot of talk about background checks before a buyer can get a gun.
A lot of talk.
But recent mass shootings have been made by people who acquired their weapons a few days before and even the same day as their killings.
They easily passed background checks.
It's not likely, however, that most Republicans in Congress will agree to stiffer restrictions. Increasingly, there have been comments on television and in testimony that some officials are accepting financial support from gun makers so lawmakers will not limit sales.
What's more important, gun profits or children's lives?
