Right or wrong, plenty of people have guns to defend themselves from an attack. Or in some cases, enjoy target shooting. I have zero issue with licensing and insurance requirements, in addition to training certification. A lot of people own circular saws and don’t build houses. You can believe a circular saw makes you a man, it’s still a tool for cutting wood. Having a loaded gun means you are one bad day away from getting shot by it. Indulging in the continued fetishization of guns with no regard to their actual purpose means they will continue killing people, mostly their owners or their owners kids, and occasionally these mass shootings.

No, this is Republicans maybe saying this is the list of insignificant actions we are willing to support and Democrats just taking it because it’s all there is… TitansPDO, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I want to see just what it is that 10 Republicans in the Senate are going to support. They know they are going to get primaried just for giving up an inch on some inconsequential change. I don’t see them budging on anything of consequence directly tied to gun control. Honestly, if the Dems want to get any significant value out of this they should target mental health. Go for a massive federally funded program to target mental health. Let Republicans spin it as a solution to gun violence. Tie in gun restrictions for people with mental health issues, domestic abuse, etc. it wouldn’t solve the problem but we need movement on mental health issues in America regardless of gun violence.

Not surprising in the slightest considering the standard intransigence of the GOP, other than if they actually pass something that makes a significant difference on gun violence.
