Cornyn and Murphy to meet virtually to attempt "basic framework" for gun proposals
Cbsnews ^ | 05/30/2022 | SCOTT MACFARLANE, KATHRYN WATSON

One Republican senator and one Democratic senator are hoping they can find some common ground on gun reforms that will garner enough Republican support to pass the 60-vote threshold in the Senate in the wake of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two adults dead.

Republican Senator John Cornyn and Democratic Senator Chris Murphy will meet virtually on Tuesday to "see if we can agree on a basic framework" about how to go forward on gun legislation proposals, according to an aide to Cornyn. An aide to Murphy confirmed the senator "is participating in tomorrow's meeting and will be holding meetings throughout the week."

Does the Elementary school in Uvalde have air conditioning? Why was the door left open?

Your post reminds me that there are literally thousands of gun control laws already on the books. And that begs questions of what additional law, would prevent massacres.

This guy was already in violation of numerous gun laws before he began his rampage.

I would love to be proven wrong, that there IS some additional law which would prevent massacres. I would love to be wrong. I would love it if there were just 1 more law which would prevent all this.

Supposedly, a teacher propped ot open to go out to her car, to get her phone, saw the maniac approaching and ran back inside, leaving the door propped open.
Probably didn’t want it to close and lock her out, forcing her to go around to the main entrance.

“gun proposals”
“gun reforms”
“gun legislation”
“gun laws”
“Gun Safety”

Just can’t say GUN CONTROL, can they? And by the way, how does one ‘reform’ a gun?

And this is why we need term limits. One term serving your country. No go back to your real job or learn to code. No lifetime benefits. No 30 person staff. Come to DC, serve your country and gtf out of DC.

That’s how you fix it.

People seem to still think that the GOP gets tricked or suckered into signing up to things they swore at every election that they would never do. They call them “the stupid party”. But here’s the truth: they wait for a time when they think they can do these things that they secretly always intended to do without being criticized and they do them. then they let you all give them a pass for being “stupid” and assume you’ll all still show up to vote for them for the only reason - literally all they have to offer - is they are supposedly better than the democrat. Here’s example 2,3478 about to happen.

A teacher propped it open AFTER the school went on lockdown. All to get a cell phone.

I wonder if it will affect the mid term elections?

Very good idea. Problem is the mechanics of enacting term limits. It would require a Constitutional Amendment and that would require, barring a Convention of the States, two-thirds of each House voting to limit their time at the trough.

1) Confiscate Guns.
2) ?
3) Chaos as first the elite and then the brutal compete for control in a world indistinguishable from the horrors of hell.
