I hope the new House makes a gun control bill. Even though it wonāt pass the Senate, it will still expose the cowards in Congress.
Somebody elseās town. The lives of those who died and all the family and friends changed forever.
David Wheeler, father of victim six-year-old Ben Wheeler, challenged American parents to mobilize for stricter gun control.
60 Minutesās Scott Pelley interviewed the families of seven victims in the broadcast, where parents advocated for gun control and retold in heart-wrenching detail the moments they discovered their children had been murdered.
I would like every parent in this countryāthatās 150 million people. I would like them to look in the mirror and thatās not a figure of speech, Scott. I mean find a mirror in your house and look in it and look in your eyes and say āthis will never happen to me, this will never happen in my school, this will never happen in my community,ā and see if you actually believe that. And if thereās a shadow, the slightest shadow of doubt in what youāve said? Think about what you can do to change that,ā Wheeler said. āIt is going to happen again. Itās going to happen again. Every time, itās somebody elseās school, itās somebody elseās community, itās somebody elseās town. Until one day, you wake up and itās not.
They will say itās too early, too close to the tragedy, to talk about gun control.
Damn. Words fail at this point. Except these wordsā¦GUN CONTROL!!!
13 reported dead now.
It includes the shooter and the sheriff or sheriffās deputy. I think itās the same number, but they were only referencing victims before.
Itās a horrible suggestion but if they posted pictures of the actual damage that these weapons cause the public would get the idea real fast. I think a lot of these clowns have no idea what these weapons and their ammunition do to a human body.
Thoughts and prayers. Next.
Iāve forgotten now which TV show did this, but there was an examination of what an AR-15 round does to the human body using a special gelatin molded torso. It was horrific and that was just gelatin. I think this was after Las Vegas, but they all run together.
Once you see it you can never unsee it, and it will really make you wonder why anyone outside of the military would need one of these weapons. They are useless for hunting.
Welcome to Donald Trumpās America.
Republicans call it āthe land of liberty.ā
And they are busy watering that damn liberty treeā¦but in this case, itās the blood of innocents, not āpatriots and tyrantsā Jefferson had some VERY mistaken ideas and this is one of them.
I completely agree. Show the video.
Then, if an informed public wants to continue with existing Republican policy, Iāll be quiet.
Until then, show the video.
One Nation under Gun with murder and mayhem for all.
Off topic but today Mueller is probably thinking, āGive me Liberty or give me a pink slip.ā
I donāt know.
The image of Mueller that has grown in my imagination wouldnāt want either. He is simply working hard, laser focused on uncovering the truth. I donāt think he wants to be fired, I think the only time he has thought of that is to ensure his investigation can move forward, regardless of if it is still under the DOJ.
I own one. I have always been interested in weapons as machines and once considered a career as an amorer and gunsmith, I just couldnāt stand the redneck, bigoted clientele.
Iāll be DAMN GLAD I own one of these rifles when these deplorable scumbags begin to ābrownshirtā in the streets (itās already happening, open your eyes) and we are forced to defend ourselves. Donāt think it canāt happen, it can and has been moving in that direction for nearly 2 years.
Yes, Iām totally on board with gun control, Iām not on board with gun elimination. Neither is the vast majority of the country, but I DO think we should heavily regulate all weapons. If you want to own one, pony up and identify yourself, your weapons and your history.
I also believe that you should not be able to receive ANY government benefits if you canāt bring yourself to vote in every election, but thatās OTā¦
100% agree.
Another day in America, another mass shooting.
We canāt change the Second Amendment because the Senate is controlled by small gun-loving rural states, and the Supreme Court is controlled by gun-loving Republicans with lifetime appointments.
Soon the Federal Appellate Courts will also be packed with gun-loving Republicans.
Meanwhile, the NRA has apparently funneled millions of dollars from Russia to Republican candidates.
What to do?
