I want to know why it too so long to improve data-sharing and suicide prevention campaigns!

As others have suggested, I imagine such actions weren't popular when they were "NRA Talking Points©," but now gun controllers are so desperate to "do something" and for anything that can be spun as a "win" during an election year, that they'll conveniently forget that these steps have been championed for some time by their opponents.

I assume that the Washington governor will next proudly proclaim how he intends to start enforcing laws already on the books against straw purchases...
