Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
As a Democrat I'd dare the Republicans to roll shit back and let the voters who enjoy not being afraid to go out in public without getting their heads blown off.
I'm so sick of these chicken shit dems.😡
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.If they want to reverse it and face the voters that's how it is supposed to work, not them hiding behind the court.
As if Republicans 'facing the voters' has ever meant anything. They already lose every popular election due to their policies, and still retain power over the entire govt. Really think it'll matter if everyone hates them further?
go out in public without getting their heads blown off.
GOP got burned pretty hard going after the ACA last go around. Republicans don't even really talk about it now. This is because people saw them doing it and decided they didn't like it.
Anyway if I was president and had the margin in the Senate I'd want the following reforms (for starters):
Expanded SCOTUS
DC statehood
ban on political gerrymandering including at state level
universal mail in voting
floated House cap using the Wyoming Rule
I'd add PR statehood as well.
At this point it needs to be tried. What we are doing now isn't working.Unfortunately it would probably just desensitize voters further. That's shocking to people who grew up before Columbine, but for those that have grown up during/since? It's a regular occurrence. Everyone 'knows' that there's suffering as a result of gun violence, not sure how that would sway voters.
It'll probably backfire either way, 'Arrogant Democrats trying to show us what we already know, highlighting their failures for the last 4 years when they had complete control over the govt, xx school shootings on their watch, shootings in liberal strongholds' yadayadayada.At this point it needs to be tried.

Unfortunately, you would need the parents' permission first. It would backfire without.
These are all pipe dreams. The Democrats can barely pass a reconciliation billGOP got burned pretty hard going after the ACA last go around. Republicans don't even really talk about it now. This is because people saw them doing it and decided they didn't like it.

Mass shootings are a symptom of our failures as a society, and aren't being addressed by anyone in power. Pushing it out as a reason to vote for one of the parties failing to stop it isn't a great look.
As a gun owner for 20 years I think it should be put in precisely these terms to the voters.
I would counter with, "how would a gun have helped you at that parade?"They will just counter with, "See, this is exactly WHY you need a gun."
And their voters will simply nod and agree
I would counter with, "how would a gun have helped you at that parade?"
How long has some common media been telling them that the people who vote wrong are their enemies, and that they're essentially under siege constantly? Not just fellow Americans who think things should be run differently, but flat-out enemies of freedom?This is the legacy and the country that we pass on to our children and grandchildren. Those that survive, of course.
Obviously nothing but contempt for these shooters, but part of me wonders why? What happened to them that set them on this course? Was it unavoidable? Nature vs nurture? Throw their lives into the trash heap with the rest of the victims I suppose.
Duh, because the good guy with a gun would have been able to instantly snipe the bad the guy off the rooftop from 200 yards away without any collateral damage. Day saved.
And don't ask me if he is trained or not, for all we know this theoretical good guy might have been a pro back in the day on the Quake 3 railgun map The Longest Yard.
well, GOP propaganda has always been based on lies. Since we know they will continue lying, we may as well do something that might actually work, as opposed to the old tactics which clearly do not.It'll probably backfire either way, 'Arrogant Democrats trying to show us what we already know, highlighting their failures for the last 4 years when they had complete control over the govt, xx school shootings on their watch, shootings in liberal strongholds' yadayadayada.

You're making an assumption it'll actually work. Throwing post-its at the wall and hoping they stick is a terrible way to win elections. I don't disagree with your statements that old tactics clearly aren't working, but I'm not sure parading dead people on national TV when you're the one that's supposedly been 'in control' is the way to handle the situation. Remember that humans are stupid, tribalistic people. If they don't think the current leaders are getting the job done, they'll get a new leader, regardless of who's fault it is.well, GOP propaganda has always been based on lies.

And you would make the police look bad. Do it and disappear. Be a masked hero.I would have been hailed as a hero
I made comment about victims were married couple. Father shielded his 18 month old. Boy was found wandering alone. They did reunite him with his grandparents.
Yeah I remember at the time thinking Sandy Hook was mostly white victims in the suburbs and if that did not spur change then nothing would.If Sandyhook and Uvalde didn't change opinions or generate any significant change, nothing will. This is just pissing in the wind. All aboard the Freedum train. Toot toot!
You know, with one of their sources of income maybe having dried up, that might be more effective now than it would a few years ago.Yeah I remember at the time thinking Sandy Hook was mostly white victims in the suburbs and if that did not spur change then nothing would.
Looks like I was unpleasantly correct. My next idea is start arming blacks in massive numbers. Last time that happened the NRA pushed for gun control.

Heavens to Murgatroid, no, but if that's how you want to take it, so be itAre you rush'n to claim that the NRA had some bad faith investments?
