The crazy part is that the bump stocks made legal again had been made illegal by Trump, and his action was cheered upon by the NRA. Yeah, even the NRA didn’t defend them.
Yeah, why do we have to know? In a proper world, there would be the initial announcement, silence, and occasional updates when something significant happens completely surrounded by silence.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t see media time and advertising.
I seriously doubt it was something so simple as “the Democratic Party”. Probably more on line with zoning regulations, willingness of a landlord to rent the facility to a Planned Parenthood or like organization, willingness of the NIMBY crowd to tolerate such a place in their area, etc. Lower class, heavily black, neighborhoods are usually more tolerant of such places than up-tight white, suburban neighborhoods. Besides, if put in the latter, the upper class, white clientele would have difficulty using them . . . . . because they wouldn’t want to be seen by the neighbors going inside.
And, “I made my mind up about it thirty seconds after it was first announced.”
