Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (Wis.) on Tuesday questioned a renewed push for gun control after two mass shootings earlier this month put a focus back on the nation's gun laws.
"All I can tell you is what I hear in Wisconsin. The debate really hasn't changed much at all," Johnson told CNN.
"People still ask the same questions. OK, if you propose some kind of gun legislation, first of all, how would that have prevented these tragedies in the past? How would they prevent them in the future?" he added.
Pressure on lawmakers to pass gun legislation has increased following the back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that left a combined 31 people dead over a single weekend this month.
SNIP
No one is falling for their 'we need gun control to stop mass shootings' narrative.
Senator Johnson is right. Every time a mass shooting occurs - the usual noise emanates from the usual sources. Right wing and left wing.
Things die down. Busines is back to usual.
The Dems plan to try to destroy Israel first
I can tell you how to end mass shootings: Arm everyone. Everyone gets access to a weapon. No age requirements, no permits, no restrictions, BUT the penalty for committing a crime with a gun is death. Not life in jail or time served. Nope, if found guilty of committing a robbery, rape, home invasion or murder with a gun, you die. Immediately. Taken out back and either shot or hanged. Now, there might be a pretty good dust up at first were thousands would die, but it would all quite down pretty quickly. After the initial dust up and after the first hundred executions, I believe we’d have ourselves a pretty affable and polite society.
Like every other socialist pipe-dream, the DNC/Fake News media is stirring up the proletariat with nonsense.
The devil is in the details.
How does the Beltway Empire propose to confiscate over 300 million guns in the U.S., without precipitating a major civil war ?
If you’re a Republican, and you see Dems about to step in it, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT (in fact, encourage them behind the scenes that it’s an electoral winner)

I ‘love’ it when they - with a straight face - said it would cost too much money, take far too many people to locate and deport 10 million ILLEGALS (who are supposedly somewhat tracked)
YET,
To hear them tell it-
Will confiscate 300 million (estimate-low??) private weapons with little or no problem.
‘THEY’ DO THINK WE ARE STUPID>>
No change here either. None. Politicians, mess with the 2nd amendment at your own peril.
“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
- Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788
...for what it is worth, bought my first AR-15 at a gun show this past weekend... as we say in Texas, MOLON LABE.... come and (try) to take it...I don’t want to seem to be some sort of negativist, but I do feel a civil war may just happen in a few years... and I’m gonna be prepared... jus’ sayin’ ...
If the proposed "common sense ' new laws or regulations would not prevent tragedies, then why would anyone with a brain support them?
“Pressure on lawmakers to pass gun legislation has increased following the back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio”
This is a B.S. statement. Nobody I know outside the usual tyranny lovers wants new gun control.
But not from their employers (that would be you and me).
Well over 400 million now. Over a hundred million were added in the last decade.
