Even if the Democrats had a veto proof majority and the will to go crazy on gun laws, would it matter?
The real issue is the current interpretation of the 2nd amendment. It's hard to imagine the amendment itself ever actually changing.
The only plausible scenario would be a new interpretation under a new supreme court.

Well the point I tried to make poorly is there are more guns and people. So naturally our society is going to have more mass shootings. I don't find the issue is society has changed so much. Just have more dumb and off people with the ability to get a mass killing device without too much hassle.
So it's the Democrats fault that the Republicans do nothing but clutch their pearls and lie? I'd have to look at that but I don't think they did. 3 months it looks like. Again, thus isn't a both sides issue. One lies, obstructs and projects.

True statement. Could have passed pretty much anything they wanted for 2 years…didn’t.
No comprehensive immigration reform. No assault weapons ban….
Strange
They had about 14 weeks. That doesn't change anything I've said. Always the Democrats having to do EVERYTHING. The Republicans never held accountable or blamed.So it's the Democrats fault that the Republicans do nothing but cluth their pearls and lie?

They had it just long enough to make people think we'd be getting a public option with the ACA
Still had enough

More or less than claiming cartel involvement?
How about being an illegal?
There’s been several other “convenient” posts you seem to have glossed over.
It wasn't a legislative priority for pretty obvious reasons. Why haven't Republicans even paid lip service to gun control? If we're going to do this dumb shit.Still had enough

Fair enough, thanks.
So the answer to “Why can’t we do something on gun control?” is “Well, why didn’t the Dems do something those three months they last had control back in 2009?”
Got it.
Not a true statement. Not if you followed the ACA negotiations. It seems true if you look at it with the superficial gaze of a "both sides" simpleton.
Said like someone who doesn't have any views other than "both sides hur durrrr" "compromise adults hurrrrr durrrrr" 😂
See I can post emojis too
Of what? Obama sucked ass. Doesn't mean you're not an Enlightened Centrism mascot candidate
Didn’t ask for them all (or any, really), but one would have helped bolster your BS position as a board moderate/independent. I just posed a question, and you failed to answer.
Hey leave him alone he's an adult in the room unlike those rascals in Washington. If there were adults in the room maybe some things would get done like compromises and stuff. A nation is like a bird, it needs a right and left wing to fly
What a bitch response. What am I policing exactly?
Listen, this is america. If little girls with their faces blown off or brains on th sidewalk are the price we have to pay for grown men to play with guns then that’s just the way it is.
Wont someone think about the gun nuts? They might have to find a different way to feel manly if we try to protect children instead.

I've explained this many times. The Democrats only had 60 votes for about 3 or 4 months. Al Franken's win was contested for several months and he wasn't sworn in until July 7, 2009. Ted Kennedy missed 261 of 270 votes in 2009 because he was battling terminal cancer and spent most of his final months in Massachusetts receiving treatment. He died on August 25 and it wasn't until September 24 that his temporary replacement, Paul Kirk, was sworn in.
At that point the Democrats finally had 60 votes, but it only lasted until February 4 because Republican Scott Brown flipped the seat by defeating Martha Coakley in the special election to replace Kennedy.
That's nice, but that is *all people,* and to Republicans, thanks largely to mostly having heavily gerrymandered districts, the only people who matter are *likely primary voters:*
OK, I wasn’t sure about the AR-15’s, hence why I posed it as a question. Since they’re semi-automatic, I just wasn’t sure where they fell in the scope of potentially being banned or not.
Why didn’t the democrats fix everything during those 3-5 months 15 years ago and instead let the people I keep voting for block everything!?!?!?

They didn't have it for 2 years. Should they have prioritized it more? Maybe. Would the Supreme Court uphold w/e they would do? With a conservative majority? No.
Yep. Absolutely pathetic. Always an excuse for the GQP trash.
There were 12 mass shootings in 2009, in 2023 there have been 190 as of May 3rd.Still had enough

This poll indicates that essentially the GOP leaning voters in this country are equivalent to an organized criminal enterprise. That and being extremely stupid and ignorant.
