A picture can say more than a thousand words.

Congress is currently debating gun control measures that were initiated after the massacre of young school children in Newtown, Ct 3 months ago. However, the initial momentum for change has ebbed as the lobbying power of the NRA has flexed its muscles in Washington DC. 

The ban on assault weapons seems to be going nowhere (do people really need to own these things?) and even background checks are running into resistance.

Fortunately states like Connecticut and Maryland are leading the way in the gun control effort.

Where do you stand on this controversial issue?
