If Donnie himself were to get gunned down, they would say he died to save our guns just as Jesus died for our salvation

Their ideology survived losing the civil war ffs.

Do you think the republicans would do nothing on gun reforms if they weren't getting multiple millions of dollars from the NRA??

... I think that even if a Republican politician's own child was killed in a school shooting, they'd make a speech about how it was actually the kid's fault.

Their not giving a shit about elementary school kids getting shot up by the dozens couldn't spark the slightest amount of caring* from them. In fact, it inspired crazies to stalk and harass the families, threatening them, accusing them of being crisis actors and lying.

Robb Elementary was just another shrug from gunniacs. They never will give a shit.

* The word humanity has been stricken from my vocabulary because our species can be so horrible. Even if every single gun owner voluntarily surrenders their AR-15s and every other gun they have so they can be melted down tomorrow, it won't change my mind about them. They were too evil and waited too long for forgiveness.

But also made me realize that the fight for sensible gun control is lost for now. When kids get murdered at school and they're more concerned about losing their right to own weapons of mass destruction, then they are too far gone.

These are people who are not willing to vaccinate their own children to save them from a potentially fatal pandemic. Their ridiculous idea of ‘freedom!’ is more important than their own kids.

That's why they'll never vote against gunz. They are all compromised.

I tend to think the source of the NRA's funds "was most likely" from that country invading another democracy.

Yes of course Pootie's money was hidden in there too, but the weapons industry employs a lot retired military folks. Those ultra-conservatives who are lobbying Congress non-stop 365 days per year. War is their business.

As people have pointed out-- someone shot Ronald Reagan. Someone shot up a congressional Republican baseball practice. And they still won't do anything about guns.

The irony of a stolen permanent GOP government, is they no longer have any need to pander for votes and those crazies shouldn’t be so well armed.

And they would use bombs to get what they want, if TFG is at the head.


Note:

Not saying we will become an autocracy. Vote; get that vote out, as the elections haven’t happened yet. Biden just gave a great reason to get your vote out. Excellent speech!
