What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

Of course not.They are cowards. They have no answers except "More guns," and easier access to them. And I am blaming them, and their ilk, for this tragedy.
"Ilk"
How about ALEC? Pretty quiet in that little corner of the world too.
the NRA and Alec do not need to make any statements at this time. The gun worshipers and trolls are laying the groundwork, sowing doubt, raising clouds of confusion and obfuscation and using every logical fallacy available to shout down opposition.
eventually, an argument will emerge from the chaos, and be trundled into the official channels through Drudge and Fox News, and then ALEC and the NRA can begin to make their wishes known to their pet congressmen.
It is now and shall be evermore about the money. Who gets paid by the NRA? How much money do all the gun companies make? What about the rights of all the victims of gun violence to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
It would be interesting to know how many NRA members are sending back canceling their memberships this week.
