America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?

[elliseamos]

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) told CNN on Monday that he would support raising the age to 21 for gun purchases and "wouldn't have a problem on looking at" a ban on AR-15 style weapons.

Just once, while there is still a little momentum, can we just focus on a single issue and do something about guns without all of that other progressive bullshit that turns off 2/3 of the country? This one time not make it "disagree and you're racist". Just once, can we take the win and make the country better for everyone? Please.

yes we can!

Looking increasingly possible:

Democrats are largely deferring to the bipartisan negotiators, unwilling to dismiss a potential agreement until they see what Republicans accept. And after their leadership meeting on Monday afternoon, Republicans seemed surprisingly bullish on the prospects for legislation in response to mass shootings across the country that continue unabated.

“There’s a desire to find a place where you can find 60 members willing to do something. But I think the ‘something’ is the hard part,” said Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt, the No. 4 GOP leader.

Murphy, Cornyn, Sinema and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) are focused on a package that would reform background checks, encourage state red flag laws, enhance school safety and provide new mental health programs, according to multiple people familiar with the talks.

There are other senators involved in the talks. In addition to Murphy, Sinema, Manchin and Toomey, a larger group includes Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.). Murphy suggested that the larger group will get together “in the next day or two.”

“Well, Sen. Scott, then-Gov. Scott, passed that law in Florida because it was the right thing to do, but also because Republicans saw it as good politics. We have to make the case for Republicans that right now this is good politics,” Murphy said.

The Florida law, known as the red flag law, raised the age to buy long guns, including AR-15s, from 18 to 21, added a three-day waiting period, created a program to allow trained school staff to carry guns and invested $400 million in mental health and school security.

“The template for Florida is the right one. Which is do some significant mental health investment, some school safety money and some modest, but impactful, changes in gun laws,” Murphy said. “That’s the kind of package we’re putting together right now. That’s the kind of package I think can pass the Senate.”
