Confusing votes

Let me get this straight: After the San Bernardino tragedy on Dec. 2 Congress voted not to change the gun law that would restrict the sale of guns to suspected terrorists. On Dec. 4, that same Congress voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

So we want to make sure those who will possibly kill have the guns they need. But we want to stop medical care for those who need it but can't get or afford it.

Is anyone else embarrassed, shocked, disappointed? I know I am.
