The Hill: Poll: Most say Trump, Congress could do more to stop mass shootings

Here Well, yes. "...62 percent of respondents said that Trump is not taking adequate action to crack down on the rash of mass shootings that has roiled the country. Even more — 77 percent — place blame on Congress."

And you know who has been controlling Congress -- the GOP. And who has been blocking meaningful gun control -- the GOP.

"According to The Washington Post, Democrats have introduced more than 30 pieces of legislation aimed at combatting gun violence in the past year. Only four have had GOP sponsors. While some GOP senators have expressed an interest in fixing some gaps in existing law, it has been President Trump and other Republicans who have launched several efforts to loosen gun-control laws."

And for pure fact checking, Trump even rolled back a common sense gun measure: "...it is true that Trump signed into law the repeal of a measure that would have plausibly prevented certain classes of mentally ill people from purchasing firearms by allowing a new data source to be included the system that runs those background checks."

And just as bad, "Trump Proposed Cutting Millions in Funding For the Background-Check System" -- two days before the Florida shooting. Here 

You do the math.
