Weird how the Right doesn’t apply the same resigned apathy to the border crisis, huh?

Clearly the new talking point:
Her point is that her side has the Supreme Court. That’s the win she’s referring to.
I think Kelly’s point (remember, she was a lawyer) is that because Trump shifted the Supreme Court, gun control is dead. It’s dead because the conservative majority is systematically dismantling even the most basic restrictions on ownership and carrying because they believe our approach to it should be frozen as it…
Exactly- I hate it, but she’s more right than wrong.
I live in Texas and I go to this mall. I’m married to man who loves his guns. He’s not a dumb guy, nor a bad guy. But he genuinely believes the infinite number of firearms in this country has nothing to do with the large amount of mass shootings. Is he mentally sound? Well he married me, so perhaps that’s dubious.
GOP: “The real solution is to address mental health?”
That’s not actually the problem, keep in mind that the Second Amendment literally includes the term “well-regulated”
These people won’t give up the guns and won’t make accessing mental health services easier. The “solutions” they want involve an aggressive, fascist military/police state where people are so terrified of the military/police that they’ll never even consider shooting anyone. Because, in that scenario, all the…
Megan Kelly would like to insert herself in the conversation so she can increase her public profile. That’s what she’s trying to change.
I *think* her point is that some people (repubs) are never going to budge on gun control because she believes their points are so bulletproof (pun not intended) that arguing for gun control is a lost cause. Instead, Dems should be looking at other solutions because gun control is off the table. Which is wild in its…
ok, let’s talk funding for mental health...hello? hello? where did everybody go?
For more or less the first 200 years of this country’s history, it was taken as a given that the “right to bear arms” mentioned in the Second Amendment was a collective right for “well-regulated militias,” not an individual right. The Second Amendment is only an obstacle to gun regulation to the extent that there are…
Yup. Born and raised in the heart of Toronto. Out of the many many times I’ve run into people with mental health issues, only two were in a complete rage. The first spit at me (she missed), the second one followed me and friend while walking our dogs and called us cunt-holes.
“the 2A exists”
I believe that her (horrible) point is that there’s no use in talking about any form of gun control. In her view, gun control has been litigated with the result being gun control is completely off the table. She implies that we need to forget about gun control so that we can move on to some other solution, but I have…
I am still trying to figure out exactly what was lost. Did Dems lose something specific to the debate because the only thing I have seen is Repubs refusing to even answer anything related to it. They don’t answer why people needs them, they don’t answer anything in regards to the shootings, they don’t answer....SHIT.
I have to tell you that we who live in other countries think you Americans are bat-shit crazy about your guns. Trust me, we have more than our share of crazy people up here in Canada. Yet somehow we have only had about 30 mass shootings in the last 100 years. In the entire country.
I’ve read Kelly's tweet many times, and I still don't know what her point is. She's upset that the gun debate is lost? Or she is giving up? Was the Texas shooting a good or bad thing for her? What is she trying to change?
