I know! You are very adept at using Hanlon’s razor.

WuWei · 2022-06-11T22:52:17.902Z

I can even spell it!

johnwk2 · 2022-06-11T22:54:29.953Z

So can I . . . “i” “t”. . . it!

Biden and the Democrats have no interest in taking steps to protect children. They want as much blood as possible to bolster support for national disarmament.

Yep. If it bleeds it leads is not just a newsroom policy.

johnwk2:

Do you not believe that about the Leadership of the Democrat party, is more to the point?

No, I don’t. I believe in Hanlon’s Razor.

Well, with Biden & Co., it could easily be both.

WuWei:

Do you really belueve that?

They want it as a political issue. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be balking when hardening schools is brought up.

WuWei · 2022-06-12T01:40:32.513Z

Agreed.

WuWei · 2022-06-12T18:12:39.915Z

Hailed as a major victory! 26 years!

Senators announce bipartisan agreement on gun proposals

A bipartisan group of 20 senators led by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Sunday announced they have agreed to “a commonsense proposal” to curb gun violence in response to …

“Gun proposals”?

I expected a lot worse than this, even if I believe that red flag laws are wholly prone to abuse by Democratic voters and their politicians.

“Step one…”

-Schumer.

My take exactly. Of course they will abuse the red flag laws.

Amd I don’t know what they mean by “strengthen background checks for under 18”.

Be interesting to see what the courts say about mental health information in NICS. The “C” is problematic.

The basic problem is they want to make this stuff a life sentence.

Yes, they never stop.

Cornryn wants the Senate Majority Leader job. He may have cut his own throat with this.

Be interesting to see what happens next.

Is everybody from Delaware a freakin’ idiot or did we find the only two and give them microphones?

Opinion: There's no way to fix the Second Amendment. Let's just get rid of it...

Bill Press, the liberal pundit, is willing to say what has long been unsayable in US politics: The time has come to repeal Second Amendment protections of the right to have a gun, which have caused countless deaths and untold blood shed in the United...

WuWei · 2022-06-12T19:44:09.221Z

This isn’t a gun control law, it’s a people control law. I’m willing to see what happens with it.

e7alr · 2022-06-12T19:50:47.124Z

This isn’t even a written bill yet. It is nothing but a hollow framework. Expect them to release it and try to rush it to the floor for a vote before it can be reviewed.

WuWei · 2022-06-12T19:51:47.220Z

Oh come now! Surely they wouldn’t do anything dishonest?

WuWei · 2022-06-12T19:52:45.769Z

One thing I’m sure will get added is some kind of climate change crap. And a sprinkling of “disproportionately affects…”

e7alr · 2022-06-12T19:54:03.027Z

Not real concerned, such a proposal won’t get a 2/3 vote in either house of congress, nor will it ever achieve ratification by 37 states.

Nice rhetorical question usage, seasoned with just a hint of sarcasm. (9.9, 10, 10, 9.8, 10) (apparently there are at least 2 progressive judges on the panel)

We are talking about Washington creatures after all.
