And they won’t be reading from Green Eggs and Ham.
They should just start listing the names of all the victims of mass shootings going at least back to Columbine.
Good for them.
So was Rosa Parks, right?
I do think it is time to start bending the conversation toward repeal of the 2nd Amendment. Seriously.
One of my favorite questions to ask gun control opponents is whether they would be willing to give up their guns if the country lawfully repealed the Amendment and watch them squirm or, more often try to deny the hypothetical.
And I own guns, BTW.
Pretty much sums up the difference between the two parties in today’s world.
Ted Cruz and the Republicans filibuster to stop poor people from getting healthcare.
Chris Murphy and Democrats filibuster to keep assault weapons out of the hands of terrorists … let that sink in for a moment …
Finally the Democrats realize that the Filibuster works both ways. The GOP controls the Senate now? Start lobbing the same bombs into their backyard that they’ve been hurling at us. If nothing’s going to get done, let’s at least hold up the works because we want votes on Gun Control and Social Services, and not tax breaks and government funding reductions.
As lon gas they can keep it up for a couple days, the GOP will have to give up because their prostates will explode. I bet 48 hours would do it.
Trump: I think Dems have a point. I fully support the filibuster. I want full gun control. Every gun must be traceable and Assault Rifles are banned. Let’s see how Hillary tops it. If we had this ban in place, Orlando massacre would not have happened.
From the NY Times on Monday:
…even if France had a mass shooting as deadly as the Paris attacks every month, its annual rate of gun homicide death would be lower than that in the United States.
Read the comparison of gun death rates, post it. Repeat. Needs to be viral.
Anyone see the web ad for the Sig Sauer that Rachael Maddow played on the air last night? This was the gun Mateen used in Orlando, bought 12 days earlier. It was designed to inflict mass carniage rapidly. It is truly a weapon of mass destruction.
Damn Sam!
Sadly, even for a filibuster, that might take too long.
Easily the post of the day. I plan to steal and reuse this a lot.
With over 40 Democrats is there any reason this couldn’t be kept up indefinitely?
And will Hillary or Bernie swing by to contribute?
If the NRA existed in the 60s and had been put in charge of fighting civil rights legislation blacks today would still be drinking from seperate drinking fountains.
Attend a Donald Trump rally. Ask yourself as you look around at the crowd and listen to their words precisely how successful the country has been in driving racism out of our midst. After a half century I have to question what’s been accomplished, beyond the enactment of laws. Those laws haven’t changed the attitudes of tens of millions of our citizens, citizens that to this day would be more than happy to have racial minorities contained in segregated areas, attend segregated schools, limited to menial jobs and metaphorically spat upon on a daily basis.
Bernie isn’t exactly known for his gun control creds…maybe he’ll have a converson moment…Hillary can’t as she’s not a sitting senator. Might be nice for Joe to drop in tho.
