Posted By Jim Moscheck

Sandy Hook all over again.

18 year old shooter "not at large". 

Nope, governor now says shooter is dead.

Well, Rich, what are your rightist buffoons doing about the mass shootings problem? Please be specific.

Update: 19 kids dead and 2 adults + the shooter. 

No answer Rich? Well, I’ll answer for you. The senate hasn’t done squat except take more money from the gun lobby and the NRA guaranteeing only the best assault weapons for mass murderers in the USA.

Here's the REAL answer and it is going to kill you because you just won't be able to accept it.   

The REAL answer is that there is no Solution to this.  

There is NO answer to keeping evil away.  Its out there.  

The evil bastard that did this is dead, thankfully.  

Now it is your turn.  You obviously think some LAW will stop it.  You think you can legislate it away. You think you can pass some regulations that will stop this in the future. 

So give me the answer.  Go ahead.  I'll wait.  Be specific. 
This would have been a good start but it couldn't get past the GOP filibuster.

According to your date it is over 9 years old.

So you've put a piece of paper up that is not a bill in Congress and saying "this piece of paper was filibustered by the Republicans"?

Is that what you are saying.

Also, I'm still waiting on an answer to my question to you.

What would work to have stopped yesterday's carnage.

You came on here angry and upset.  Justified.

So are the rest of us.

What is your solution?
It was an amendment to a bill in which the amendment was defeated 54-46 in the senate. It was after Sandy Hook happened. Can't remember that far back, Rich?

Well, "thoughts and prayers" have now turned into "we're horrified and heartbroken".

Do they put out talking points to these GOP politicians on what to say? Many of them have tweeted the exact same thing including McConnell:

"Horrified and heartbroken by reports of the disgusting violence directed at innocent schoolkids in Uvalde, Texas. The entire country is praying for the children, families, teachers, and staff and the first responders on the scene."

Okay, Dick, mandatory background checks on all gun purchases. No exceptions.

No sales to anyone under 21 for any handgun or long gun/rifle.
