Exactly. Nothing will change. Absolutely nothing. Biden is a coward and republicans have dug their heals in even more.Biff Pocoroba wrote:Most of the fatalities were not even ten years old.
I remember not too long ago people said there would never be a mass shooting in Texas because Texans would shoot back. We didn’t need another example of the folly of that thinking.
Yet collectively we don’t care enough to change. If recent history holds true it just a matter of time before there is another.

As I said before, dead children are an acceptable price so they can have their guns. I wonder if anything would change if was actually their kids or grandkids. Would it be acceptable then?E.H.

Thom Tillis warned Democrats against having a “reflexive reaction” in the wake of the Texas school shooting that left 15 people dead, by trying to pass laws that would impinge on Second Amendment rights, saying he is confident in the coming days it will be learned that there were “signs” the 18-year-old shooter was “at risk.”
“It's horrible. And you know what we need to avoid is the reflexive reaction we have to say this could all be solved by not having guns in anyone's hands. We can always talk about reasonable measures, but we also have to talk about better situational awareness. I'm almost certain that in the coming days or weeks, we're going to find out that there were signs that this person was at risk, and we need to have an equal or greater attention on prevention and that's a key part of it,”
i think about the bolded part too, but i quickly snap back to reality, because none of them gives a shit. the only thing that matters is money and constituents, and keeping those things closer to the vest than little people who will never get to live a full goddamn life.wease wrote:As I said before, dead children are an acceptable price so they can have their guns.

How many of the shootings Steve referenced would have been prevented if that bill on universal background checks was passed?
When's the last time a gun acquired in a private party sale was used in a mass shooting? I can't recall one, but there probably were a few. Seems like something Newtown et all would flog to no end if they had examples.spike wrote:the answer may surprise youverb_to_trust wrote:spike wrote:it's creepy that you legitimately don't have one.verb_to_trust wrote:Whatever you need it to be citizen.
