Schumer blocks school safety bill

I will have to look into it more, but I do not trust bills that pop up this quickly after a tragedy. I also don't trust bills with shiny names.
No, he only has time to drive around driving drunk!
(There you go again Devil...reading, comprehending, questioning...you PRICK!)
Holy shit, I don’t know why I didn’t realize fbandbb was NC. Can y’all get him to make some dumbass bet that makes him leave the board like the good old days?
Lol @Moral turned me on to the idea awhile ago. Today it was confirmed by one of your threads. Take a guess which one.
You and fbnbb share an iq score as well as affection for a certain sport. Too big of a coincidence.
I still like the theory. I had Brian sniffed out on his last handle way before he made it clear.
Now this is a comrade that belongs on Gitmo in solitary for the rest of its life!Why don’t democrats care about the kids?
Schumer pledges votes on gun control if GOP advances domestic terrorism bill
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is telling colleagues that they will have the opportunity to vote on amendments to curb gun-related violence if Republicans agree to a debate on a do…thehill.com
Ok, how's this?
Schumer is an idiot.
Now, why won't Republicans even discuss any gun control laws? Licensing? Registration? Universal background checks? Required training?
None of those would impact 2A, none of them would ban a single type of gun or accessory, all have been included in discussions regarding gun control (and with the training it wasn't even universal requirement) yet none of them get off the cutting room floor with the GOP.

Sooooo, Republicans are evil for not voting for the democrats bill, but the democrats are NOT evil for not voting for the republican bill. Makes complete sense.
Yes. You did. You picked what you wanted out of the op without addressing the overall point.
To be fair, our side has less experience defending the undefendable. You guys are pros at it.
Certainly have little guy. You don’t remember? It was only a month ago. Clearly still have a nice condo up there.
So, Dems should follow the lead of the GOP and defend the indefensible? Got it.
Can we say that this bill popped up 23 years after the Columbine tragedy? How about 10 years after Sandy Hook? Is that enough time?
2 things stick out about this decision
The Dems need some new blood which is more adept at playing politics, Schumer is just not good at it and puts his party in poor positions
The Republicans and the push for unnecessary federal government programs is worrisome of ever having a "limited" government party

so this stand alone bill introduced by Republicans won't do anything to help with school safety? The past few days all I have heard is that the Republicans don't do anything, but when they do it is the democrats who block it. Oh the irony. Why is Schumer putting politics above the safety of school children?
Smart enough to not drink and drive multiple times and put countless innocent lives in danger.
To be fair to Ron Johnson, there is a lot of money to be made by contractors in hardening schools from potential attack, and many of them do or would give him a slice of that money.

Repubs ARE evil for a variety of reasons, but I did not claim that in the post he cited.
Not sure why Chuck doesn't play the game. This bill would get nowhere and he could say he gave it a try and the other side wouldn't come together on a comprehensive bill... just wanted to militarize schools. Both parties are stupid. Changes here benefit us all. Those who want a rifle/shotgun could still have them, just not have big ammo clips. They could make changes to raise the age and make it harder for people to get them and keep them if they have violence or mental issues, etc. I just don't get not doing anything.
Gun violence is just one problem, among several, that is far worse in the US than in other developed nations. We're not feeling around in the dark here; there are many other countries that have successfully prevented and/or solved problems like this, and we could model our solutions after theirs. But in each case, it's the Republicans who are convinced either that nothing can be done, or that failing to bow to the wishes of our corporate overlords will destroy our freedoms. There are also enough Democrats in bed with corporate interests that real solutions are unlikely, and the Citizens United decision (brought to you by...) makes it increasingly so.
This hits the nail on the head. This here is why both sides will get nothing done. Now, I put more blame on Rs because most will say there's nothing you can do... it's just crazy people or let's pour gas on the fire by adding more guns. That said, Ds have enough who are in bed with the special interests or want to protect their position/power so won't take action for fear of losing an election in a conservative area.
