Majority Says U.S. Has More Mass Shootings Because It Has More Guns

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

After a mass shooting, Republicans generally throw their hands up in the air and claim that well, nothing can really be done here, plus it’s the price we have to pay for Our Freedoms under the glory of America’s red, white and blue–but a vast majority of Americans aren’t drinking that water, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll conducted after the Uvalde elementary school shooting.

Mr Abbasi looks suspiciously white for a black guy.

I think we can dispense with the notion what a vast majority of Americans want means anything.

47 percent of Americans don’t believe water is wet. Comment below on what other basic fact of reality these 47 percent don’t believe in.

My first thought too.

Maybe we should ask him to produce a birth certificate, long form, on which “race” of parents is indicated. And supply drag photos?

Librulz believe, uncritically, that water is wet because elitist scientists say so, but conservatives know better.

Why are you trying to cancel conservative viewpoints? THAT’S THE REAL VIOLENCE.

Blake Masters probably blames African Americans for slavery also too.

Not just guns, but SWAT rifles and military sidearms aggressively marketed for their capability to kill people. And no SWAT rifles or military sidearm is complete without a vest-full of 20,30,40,60,100 round magazines.

Here’s what should really be illegal: magazines greater than 5 rounds capacity. The penalty should be simple forfeiture of the illegal magazine and ammo, but it should be enforced daily, often and everywhere.

Not being granted 2nd Amendment rights put a crimp in their ability to push back against that institution.

Fuck that, forfeiture of the weapon also too.

Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC), one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over Jan. 6, told ABC News on Sunday that he “might consider” voting for the ex-president again if “he came out and said, ‘I’m sorry I made a huge mistake on January 6th.’”

Maybe the Rosenbergs should have just apologized.

I know there are no alleles for race, even if I’m kind of vague on what alleles are, but if there were his would be super-white and frankly I question whether he’s gay either. I think it’s a big scam there I said it. :smile:

Anyway, I’d like to applaud the majority for thinking shootings are caused by guns. I agree, and stand ready to add, for any pollsters who are looking into this, that in my opinion sunburn is caused by the sun.

Agreed.

5 bullets is plenty.

Make them illegal to have anywhere but a legal gun range. Folks that already own them have 1 month to get them from their home to registered and stored stored at the range.

You want to move it to another registered gun range, it is done by arrangement between the two ranges in a registered defined process.

After the one month grace period, simple possession of the banned magazine is a felony, mandatory 2 year probation. With that felony you would be banned from gun ownership for 3 more years after completing probation.

2nd offense we start talking jailtime

Maybe water is wet, I haven’t done my own research on that, but I do know that Brawndo’s got what plants crave: electrolytes.

And, of course, Rice is lying. He WILL vote for Trump again - AFTER he gets on his knees to kiss Trump’s…ring.
