8 reps voted to move it out of committee (5 against). Don't kid yourself into thinking it's getting passed into law.

Doesn’t matter. Make them vote.

I think it is vitally important for the 70% of Americans who don’t own guns and who want them strictly regulated to find their voices and stop being intimidated into silence.

I don't think it's public. I seem to recall an effort to disclose votes that was rapidly shot down. Uh no pun intended.

You can watch a replay of the hearing and just watch who votes which way.

He did. Graduated in 2008. But the address on the news where his parents live — and supposedly did for awhile — is over near Bishop Lynch.

What are MAGAts so intent on the Nashville shooter’s supposed manifesto not being released, like it’s some giant conspiracy?

Brisket, this is a simplistic platitude that gets us nowhere. 

Guns don't cause deaths.  I would guess that you can take every gun owned by ever person on this board ---- including a 30-30 that I have that is 124 years old ---- and collectively they have caused ZERO deaths.  I believe you, yourself, own guns.  How many deaths have they caused? If guns cause deaths, how could this be possible? 

What causes death is people + guns.  Take either one of those two things out of the equation and gun deaths go to zero. 

I guess if you really want to be technical its people + guns + bullets/lead shot that causes death, but I'm just going for back-of-the-hand causation.

Sadly, some people can't be trusted with guns. That's just a fact.  I can be. You can be. The whole of Surlyhorns, presumably, can be, but some people can't. We see the evidence daily.  Couple that fact with the fact that those same people now have easy access to extremely efficient/lethal guns, and it becomes a huge societal problem.

The problem isn't the guns. It isn't the people. It's the people with the guns.

The fact that this man's most emotional vote ever was on guns --- guns --- says a lot about us, about politics, and about him.

Think about it. His most emotional vote ever wasn't, say, voting some kind of proclamation for a Pearl Harbor survivor/hero or recognizing a firefighter who went way above and beyond the call of duty, heroically saving a bunch of lives, or voting to create some state park near his home district so his children and future generations would have a great place to go forever. Nope. His emotional attachments are to his guns.

I applaud him for doing the right thing, but this should be a no-brainer from the git go.

Some fringy MAGA guys I know claims it supposedly goes into detail that the reason he did it was to bring more attention to guns, helping to hasten complete bans. How the fuck they would ever know this (they don’t), your guess is as good as mine.

Sounds like a typically over developed victim mindset by the folks armed to the teeth and mainlining hate filled propaganda. They are literally just recycling the alex jones post-massacre rhetoric

If any of these lunatics actually had that goal they would walk into right wing evangelical churches and open fire, not at schools and malls.

OK, so then the obvious solution is to just kill all the people and keep the guns.  Looks like we are making progress toward the obvious solution.

Since our resident right wing posters are terrified of CR, all you need to do is go over to Texaggy and you can get their same intelligent and perfectly sane (and never ever bigoted) thoughts. They are the exact same.

People usually post the video of part 1.  But the part 2 video addresses all of this rather well.

Good job repeating the lie and giving it air then! Trump and the MAGA media exploited this to great effect during his campaigns and tenure as president - one person somewhere would say a lie, a far right blog picks it up, it goes to the twittersphere, etc etc, January 6th.

 

It's more or less the v2 of "just asking questions" to do the work of repeating lies for them

I get text-message alerts from ACC, and they've got a shelter-in-place going on at the Northridge Campus, as a "white male was seen with a handgun in the area".  Chances are it's nothing, but the fact that they feel the need to have to send these alerts out is sad, but necessary.

Except in this case, someone actually asked the question.  Right on top of it, as usual.

The Deacon actually compared CR to TexAgs over on the gun thread. This coming from a guy who shares common viewpoints with the TexAgs posters and had to change his username due to all of the bigoted things he posted under his prior username. Remarkable lack of self awareness.

Checking in here as a gun owner and supporter of the 2nd amendment…. To a point. For a long time I agreed with the argument that we should not ban assault weapons because of mass shootings because the criminal would find a way to hurt people. Then I became a father. And these shootings kept happening. With even more frequency. And I evolved. Now I say unequivocally, it’s time to ban assault weapons. 

These have gotten harder since I became a father. I haven't told my wife about Allen, and I'm not sure she knows. We don't watch much TV these days and her social media exposure pretty much consists of Instagram shit about raising kids. She is already discussing moving to another country before our son starts school. I honestly don't know what to do. I'm a lawyer, so even moving to a different state is complicated. Another country is virtually impossible. Am I just supposed to send my wife and son out into the world and hope their number doesn't get called? 

Maybe I'm just exhausted, but It's time to take all the fucking guns. I'd rather have a dozen Wacos or Ruby Ridges as the feds round up the weapons than one more  Allen, Uvalde, Parkland, Sandy Hook, Aurora, etc. For the "I-need-my-gun-to-stand-against-tyranny" crowd, I say here's your chance motherfuckers good luck. I honestly don't give two shits if that means a lawful gunowner can't enjoy his or her hobby. Take up golf.

I keep going back to this horrendous video Ted Cruz made when he was running for President in 2016.  "Machine gun"  bacon?  Anybody want to tell Ted that his cute little AR-15 isn't a machine gun?

This is a good point so I rewrote this so maybe "conservatives" will start giving a shit.

 

On May 24, 2022 in Uvalde, TX a 18yr old walked into Robb Elementary School and performed 21 POST BIRTH ABORTIONS!

On April 11, 2023 in Houston TX, a man interrupted his date to perform a POST BIRTH ABORTION!

On April 18, 2023 in Cleveland, TX   5 POST BIRTH FETUSES WERE ABORTIONED by a neighbor because a post birth  fetus could not sleep!

On May 6, 2023 in Allen, TX, 8 post birth fetuses were ABORTED while shopping at an outlet mall!

Well, that's just depressing. These guys are all scared shitless to upset a very vocal segment of their constituents. Or, more likely, the people who send them checks.

“Christianity” in this country is a deadly joke. Just like the dickheads in the gun owners thread, until y’all can start helping with a solution and stop hiding behind constitutionality, fuck off. That goes for “christians” too. Everyone of y’all that consider yourself a follower of Christ but does nothing to bring the hideous and hateful bullshit your brothers in Christ foist upon the rest of us, fuck yourself too.

I have to agree. In his sermon on Sunday that dealt with gun violence in general and Allen in particular, the pastor declared silence and inaction in the face of gun violence to be sin and tantamount to compliance.

Ironic since his opinions would be applauded on Texags.

Whatever you want to call the right (fascists, Christian Nationalists, white supremacists, etc.), it just as easy to refer to them as aggy.

The "struggle" some folks are having with this shooter being a non-white Nazi is the same struggle that they've realized, outside of sports, they share the aggy worldview. They are aggy.
