  1. The Republican party alone obstructs the gun safety laws that would save schoolchildren. Those laws were expected to come when the Republican majority opinion by Chief Justice Antonin Scalia was released. As Scalia himself said at the time, those laws were seen as common sense, likely to be passed with bipartisan support by the Congress, and fully in accordance with his DC v Heller opinion regarding the boundaries and intent of the Second Amendment. "In particular, Justice Scalia strongly suggested that his reading of the Second Amendment would still allow laws prohibiting felons from owning guns, prohibiting the carrying of firearms near schools and government buildings, and “laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”" "Even more importantly, Justice Scalia limited the Second Amendment right to the kinds of weapons “in common use at the time” of the amendment’s passage. Total bans on assault-style weapons are completely constitutional (though the law expired in 2004)."
