Unequivocally no. It’s not even close to my #1 issue.   If we voted on things a la carte, would be a no brainer yes (up to and including red flag, depending) but that’s not how we do things here, so we get what we have chosen. 

So you're cool continuing to do nothing to protect our children, family, friends, neighbors, fellow citizens, and possibly yourself from the dangers of assault weapons because you want to buy another boat.

    The "we can't solve 100% of the problem so we shouldn't make any attempt at all" line of thinking is a big reason why we are where we are.

Correct. I’ve already got several mere boats.

Since we’re dealing with a bipartisan issue here, I’d love to hear what proposals were put forth by the various GOP leaders that spoke at the NRA convention.

Some proposed Applebee's, one proposed Hooters but got shot down (with some secret whispers about "later"), and some asshat suggested Olive Garden.

Olive Garden it was.

@fattyflattie I know you’re waiting eagerly for your GOP reps to put forth some sensible gun reform measures.

Did you have a chance to review the proposals put forth by GOP leaders in Indianapolis?

I picture Wayne LaPierre like Paul Giamatti in "Sideways" walking into Olive Garden, "No.  If anybody orders Bud Light, I am leaving!  I am not drinking any fucking Bud Light!"

It you're relying on the GOP to deliver tax cuts so you can buy a real yacht, you're not really yacht material.  

Yachts are for the global elite and offshore tax strategies.  You probably don't qualify.

Without looking, I’m betting they said the problem isn’t the guns, it’s the people. And we need more guns.

Trump proposed funding to research the mental health effects of gender transformation medicines.

That actually happened. It ain’t the guns, it’s the trannies.

Why do these people keep jumping in front of bullets???

If all those kids had guns, then maybe they wouldn’t be dead. It’s their fault for leaving their house without a gun.

Don’t all teens in Alabama have guns?

3 mass shootings in the same mid-size American city in less than a week?  
 

I mean, if ever there was fucking evidence that localized thoughts and prayers coming from a concentrated location can actually produce positive energy out into the universe to effect desired outcomes, I think this is finally it.

Parkdoor?

Yeah, you know that thing where young people go to parks and open urban spaces and jump around on the walls and furniture 'n shit?

Do you mean Parkour?  

Maybe a judge somewhere (I'm looking at you Amarillo) will challenge the Dept of Transportation's authority to prohibit loaded guns in planes.  I mean, who wants to be unarmed on a plane if someone else sneaks a gun on board and starts shooting.  It's your 2a right to be able to shoot back.  And don't talk about "decompression" or whatever, that's not in the Constitution.

Yeah, wasn't there some TSA study done a couple years ago and like 5,000+ handguns slipped through terminal screening each year?  So we need good guys with guns up there.  I sure as shit won't be left holding just my dick.  And you're absolutely right, there was zero discussion of high altitude pressurized risks mentioned in the Bill of Rights.  I mean, sure the Federalist Letters talk a little about decompression at nearly the speed of sound, but fucking Madison was always a bush-league aerospace physicist.  It was really Hamilton and Jay that did the heavy lifting when it came to the freedoms of jet propulsion. 

Also, this horrific week of mass shootings is nothing compared to what's on Hunter Biden's laptop/Drag Queens/Grooming/CRT/whatever else we're doing to pretend that our children are forever scarred from mass shooter drills.

Speaking of the Constitution, wasn't that written back in prehistoric times, maybe like when all guns were single shot muzzle loaders and no one had to worry about a nutcase with a semiauto?  I guess there is no use saying that some people need to wake up and face reality, then admit there is a problem.

People who say that the problem is the guns or the problem is the people are falling for a false dichotomy.  The reality is that it's the people WITH the easy access to guns. 

Take either the people or the guns out of the equation and people wouldn't be dying from gun violence.

I've asked here before how many mass shootings it will take before Republicans start to feel for the victims and their families or at least become afraid for their own safety.

In an average year, 1,090 people from 2011 to 2020, compared to a 33% increase
die and 3,422 are wounded by guns in Alabama. Alabama has the 2nd-highest rate of gun violence in the US.

Sure, but what's the critical mass? All of these southern states lead the nation in gun violence, but they've got to be real close to arming enough people to be a peaceful utopia.

What catches my attention is that she's not concerned about doing the right thing, or going to an unpopular extreme. Her concern is that they're going too far and they'll lose power.

their policies appeal very well to their base, but their base is getting smaller and narrower by the day, because their policies are idiotic and out of touch.

they're slowly realizing this, but there's no real way to fix it.  anyone who tries gets primaried.

You can tell as she speaks she's had that Come to Jesus moment but she's too worried about her own payroll to say the obvious.  She knows the answer just like everyone in Trump's admin and at Fox knew the election wasn't stolen.  They're kowtowing to the dumbest people in their voting bloc.  Sickening, really.

I'm also bugged at how they look at mass slaughter as a policy issue and how it affects them.  Me, Me, Me.  Does this affect my election chances?  (Edit: I see TCHookem noted this as well).

Synagogues with bulletproof windows?  You can't tell me that wasn't a rejected line in a 1974 Mel Brooks musical.  And now it's the foundation of GOP gun violence policy.

It's an extremely common trait in gun nuts. They're worried about me me me, fuck you I got mine, come and take it no compromise. Mass shooting? Better go out and buy more guns and ammo because OBUMMER BRANDON is gonna come and take MY guns! 

It’s really the bone marrow adoration of guns I will never understand. I can’t remember the last planned gun massacre where the assassin didn’t have a cache of weapons and ammunition stored somewhere. I don’t get it. Why love something that can’t love you back?
