The GOP’s fascination with death is disturbing. Mike Johnson wants to regulate people’s hearts, not their guns. Good luck with that, Mikey. Looks like we can expect more mass shootings in the future. Maybe that’s why the GOP is anti-abortion: more grist for the mill.
I am not a fan of guns and think the second amendment has been stretched beyond reason, BUT until the guns coming across the border are curtailed and until liberals collect up all the weapons not legally owned in their Deep Blue cities, I find them are more to blame than the GOP.
The next step? Finding a case to bring to the Supreme Court to make open carry a national law. I have no doubt the current court would do this in a heartbeat. States rights? Hah!
l can legally take a gun into a grocery store. Why can’t I take one into the Supreme Court? I can legally take a gun into a bowling alley, or even a bar. Why can’t I take one into Congress?
I think the Maine shooting was mass shooting number 565 in 2023. The number has probably gone up since. Most don’t even make the news anymore. Thoughts and prayers aren’t working. Let’s try something else!
Big smiles when you sell 7 times more guns in one day than you normally do, after your town has 18 people massacred, with others wounded, likely with a weapon bought from your store.
IF GOP wants to cut 8% of govt spending – lets do it across the board – including Congress, Govt facilities, and benefits. And be sure to include Louisiana Naval bases in the cuts too.
The conservatives run the gamut… from stupid – guns don’t kill, people kill, to insulting – thoughts and prayers, to the latest from the speaker – "guns don’t kill, hearts kill people. I wonder if they’d be spouting such inane comments if their loved ones were splattered over the walls and floors from weapons of war.
We actually had an assault weapons ban at one time (which was supported, even if grudgingly, by the NRA—this was before they were raking in the rubles, of course), and it was allowed to sunset. While it was in operation, the total number of people whose 2nd amendment rights were violated was……..ZERO. If the ban had remained in effect, the total number of people whose 2nd amendment rights were violated (because of that ban, in case our resident trolls don’t get this) would be, at present, ZERO, and in the future (because of that ban) ZERO. Any questions?
When “National Turn in your gun day” happens, democrats will be shocked, shocked I say, to see robberies, carjackings and murders still happen. How you say? Well, criminals don’t obey laws so they kept their guns. Now it’s worse for all.
By the way, to our resident trolls: NO Democrat with any political power (or name recognition) is advocating CONFISCATING your firearms (or mine, for that matter). When the wackos were claiming that “Obama will take away your guns!” I pointed out, over and over, that he wasn’t going to do that any more than he was going to take away their TV Guides. Why the hel do people keep falling for these dam con artists???!!!
You know Mike, it’s not only the GOP folks that legally own guns and support gun rights. It’s erroneous to believe that this issue is always because of the GOP or the NRA too. BTW, criminals won’t care what laws or guns you take away.
Somebody needs to do something….But what exactly? If defining WOKE is tough, try defining what a “Assault Weapon” is, other than Black. Anyone want to try?
