“On the Table”
We’ll play with it for a while hoping it goes away .
We don’t want to jeopardize the NRA payoff
Unfortunately there are some really pissed off teens with cellphones who have discovered that even though they don’t Vote
they have political power.
The NRA party is over
I saw David Hogg on Mourning Joe
That kid gives me HOPE in the true sense of the word
It isn’t enough! It is frigging smoke screen there are too many of these weapons on the street for age restrictions to work.
The damn weapon has to go.
Cornyn said two or three days ago he doesn’t think the support is there. I figured that wasn’t random. They’ll mumble out of both sides of their mouths until the trouble blows over.
How many of the damned massacres that have occurred in the last two decades have seen the perp use a bump stock? VA Tech, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Umpqua Community College, Red Lake Senior High School? Not a single incidence of bump stock use in those.
Bump stock restrictions have little to nothing to offer as far as reducing the carnage. Yet if a Dem says enacting a ban is of little help the GOP and NRA will jump on it to “prove” how Dems don’t really want to do anything to help.
Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel:
“I think the President’s been very thoughtful in what he’s proposing,” she said. “He’s listening to these parents. I think universally, we want to make sure our schools are safe. Period.”
I think Ronna needs to have her hearing checked.
“I don’t know. We’ll see where that goes. I think it’s on the table,” she told the Washington Examiner in an article published Monday. “We have to look at the whole picture.”
Mmm-MMM! Love me some waffles on a Monday morning! Extra syrup, please!
That includes his lack of support
Such a minimal effort and ‘Hmmm…we’ll think about it.’ What a crap government we have.
Can we throw an IQ test in there for good measure?
As age is immaterial to the real problem, of course, that will be where the GOP concentrates. They don’t want to fix what they have broke. Refuses to take any personal responsibility. None.
You know what else needs to be “on the table”?
A resolution allowing Ronna to use her middle name! 
Agreed
This time assholes we are coming for your GUNZ.
Our right to go to school , church, the theater without fear of being gunned down by automatic weapons, superceeds what ever "right " you think you have to own weapons of war
Because this:
This is why the AR-15 is the first choice for American mass murderers and terrorists. Because the round is a military round specifically, carefully designed and refined to inflict wounds in human bodies that may not kill immediately but are not survivable.
This ER physician’s shock and horror notwithstanding, it’s nothing people who know about guns didn’t already know. It’s nothing that every NRA troll trying to decertify the comments of gun-control advocates by pedantic harping on technical details and distinctions that were mostly made up on the spot don’t know. It’s nothing that every asshole pretending like you can’t ban assault weapons because there’s there’s no such thing as an assault weapon doesn’t know.
First things first. And these goddamn things are first.

An age ban is not enough. They will always find guns from another family member or on the re-sale retail market or at gun shows.
We need to ban all military style weapons and hand guns nationally - PERIOD. In conjunction with the ban, we need a national buy back program to get the assault rifles and semi-automatic pistols off the streets! Buy 'em back and implement very stiff penalties if they are found with them later…
We put a man on the moom…if we act like responsible adults, we can get the guns off the streets. Marco Rubio (AKA AR-15…his new name) is completely wrong and working for NAR blood money…this is not dealing with a genie. This is dealing with our nation’s #1 public health crisis…guns!
Over 425,000 Americans have been killed by guns since 9/11!
This could work, but only if the age limit were raised to, say, 65 or 70. But even then, you’d still encounter the occasional “Adam Lanza’s mother.”
(I hope she survived being shot at least long enough to have an epiphany.)
This may well be a throw-away. Something the NRA can rant and rave about, then go down to defeat while showing their independence from the GOP.
There is something very, very wrong with this woman. She is so obsequious around Donnie.
And OT here, but if we want to be depressed, read about the inevitable SC decision reversing 40 years of public union dues collection. I’m having a bad one today. Trump dismantling the government now that they’ve reached a budget, the DACA kids, the guns, and now the public unions. Why do they always win?
Oh, and it’s 70 degrees in February.
