You’re right, so let’s regulate guns like we do cars. You have to be trained and licensed to operate one, the ownership of each of them are registered with the state and all private transfers have to be done with filing paperwork with the government registry, liability insurance must be carried whenever operating one,…

I’ve been a registered voter in PA for 34 years. I can’t recall ever voting for or against a candidate who held either of those two positions. Maybe the real solution is to listen to the people who are already offering common-sense reform, and/or are willing to compromise, instead of to the louder, more vocal fringe…

Also proven effective in preventing mass shootings: stricter gun laws. Let’s go with that one first, then address the media.

I’d say he’d go with A because of the simplicity and lack of creativeness but he might have an ingrained aversion to using a negative expression that sounds related to his favorite fine dining establishment.

I think what he’s saying is that the media is covering positively what he views as an equally extreme position, whereas they would not do so for the opposite extreme. And I guess he’s sort of right about that. The media is more or less covering a hypothetical ban on semi-automatic rifles positively, and they would not…

Yes the commentary was on how in most sports, the bigger/more accomplished a “star,” the more afraid they are to come out and take a stand like this, which is why it was refreshing to see this from such a dominant player.

I’ve already seen some people (on the right of course) take this as proof that there needs to be more training and more people with guns so that if one person fails to step up, other teachers will. It’s absolutely insane. No teacher or security guard gets paid enough to put their life on the line.

This is fucking beautiful.

Any links you could provide to substantiate that, brosef?

This issue of access is so sad and disgusting to me. I understand it but it’s insane the degree that we allow elected officials (public servants) feel free to duck out on people. Devin Nunes hasn’t met in a public setting (unpaid, non-fundraiser event) with his constituents in two years and solely appears on…

I also liked this one:

I wish someone would sit this blithering idiot down and tell him that the Second Amendment only protects the right to bear arms.

This idiocy was playing while I was at the gym this morning.

Conservative parent to teacher: I don’t trust you to teach sex ed, modern history or anything remotely political to my son or daughter ... but it’s on you to kill or die for my children in a firefight.

It is so painfully fucking sad that this is one of the first times that I can recall seeing a politician actually held to account and forced to answer questions rather than dance around them—granted he still danced, but at least he was made to sweat about it.

It’s actually pretty funny how, in the repeated use of the word “brave”, they’re ADMITTING that the kids are correct, and on the right side of history, and are in the right. He’s getting credit for standing on the wrong side & doubling down on his wrongness.

I heard several TV news people mention how brave Rubio was just for showing up (as well as Trump’s “bravery” for sitting and paying zero attention to the parents and students of Parkland) and the whole thing made me sick to my stomach. Rubio went to that “town hall” expecting to spin a few double-speak talking points,…

YES. Jesus Fucking Christ, this is not difficult. If you want to make a private sale, you MUST legally go to a third party with the capability to do a documented background check first. No behind the curtain sales at gun shows, anymore.
