I believe in Arkansas that’s called “crawfishing”—the verb, not the noun. NRA talked to our boy and said ix-nay on aising-ray the imits-lay. Cuts into sales, can’t be having that. Dead children one of those cost of doing business things.

The ‘Art of the Deal’ is to jump all over everyone else’s ideas, take both sides, never commit and then claim you ‘won’ after other people do the hard work. Either that or whine and snivel about how YOU would have done it better if it weren’t for those pesky Democrats, Judges, Lawyers, etc. etc.

Everytown for Gun Safety did a comprehensive study of all 156 mass shootings that took place between January 2009 and December 2016 (defined as 4 or more fatalities, not including the shooter). They provided a detailed analysis of each one:

So, regarding all trump’s stupid ideas:

Of the 156, 4 were between 18 and 21, so could have possibly been affected by raising the gun purchase age

Of the 156, 4 had a prior mental illness diagnosis. And zero were actually prohibited from firearm possession because of mental illness at the time of the shooting.

Of the 156, zero ended with a civilian with a gun intervening.

But of the 156 mass shootings, 156 involved guns.

Sure, Sarah, but what we really want to know is:

How exactly would he have stopped the Florida shooter? You know he has it all worked out …let’s hear the story!

If anything could cause her to break character, this might be it.

C’mon, Sarah – tell it! Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you!

“Supportive of the concept” and two bucks will get me my morning coffee at Starbucks.

About as useful as a tissue paper sieve.

Does Sarah Palin-Sanders have the necessary security clearance to be discussing such important matters relating to homeland security and public safety?

So I’m really quite surprised. Shocked, actually, that, as far as I know, not a single Republican’t, CONservative or ammosexual has suggested that the way to stop school shootings is to simply ban schools…

Not sure who originally called SHS “HamHock,” but whenever I see her now I crack up in remembering that name. Oh, and I also crack up over her goofy answers too.

Not sure about the 2018 event, but in 2016, guns were banned at CPAC -

if age has no effect on anything, why not do away with the age limit then?

“I don’t think it’s at all a downgrade,” Sanders replied. “I think we’re talking specifically about implementation and what this process would look like, what specific pieces of legislation might look like and we haven’t seen those yet so it would be premature for us to weigh in. But as I said the President is still supportive of the concept.”

Every time I see this picture I try and imagine the real life scenario that might lead to a bikini’d woman standing ass forward on the wing of a plane shooting at … what? None of it works on any level at all.
