And then they’ll strut around claiming they’re doing something about gun violence. Yeah, more laws, that’ll work.

The only “gun control bill” that should be introduced is a bill authorizing the establishment of training courses in the care, feeding, grooming, and proper respect for projectile weapons of all sizes and manner of design, at the high school age level or before. A passing score on this course of study, including range safety and the elements of firing for accuracy at targets of acceptable and established designation, would be required before the sale to an individual would be permitted.

Cornyn is finished.

Nah, no one with a chance of being elected ever challenges him in the primary.

Cornyn must be defeated in the next election

I’m good with that, so long as the right to speak comes only within a law authorizing the establishment of training courses in the logic, unintended consequences, truth, and proper respect for the actual meanings of words, at the high school age level or before.

A passing score on this course of study, including demonstrated plain-language interpretation of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, would be required before an individual would be permitted to open their yap, or post to a forum...

Just skimmed the bill.

Upshot:
This time they will CERTIFY that agencies contributing to NICS have done so.
They’re very serious, financially & personally punishing responsible agents who do not CERTIFY their work.
They’re even going to spend $625,000,000 over five years on this CERTIFICATION & COMPLIANCE process.
Yup, they’re very serious about stating the information in NICS is correct.

Not much about _how_ they’re going to ensure all relevant data is included, but there’s plenty of encouragement about that. And certification.

Absolutely, gun use & safety should be taught in schools.
The Left insists on teaching children how to **** safely, so no reason why children should not be taught how to handle weapons safely.

Who would have ever thought that any republican, even a rino, from Texas would advocate for gun control. Cornyn is a real piece of work.

Maybe this will be the stunt that finally breaks this RINOs back. Wish someone like Katrina Pierson would run against Cornball.

It’s not a gun control bill.

It is a bill to enforce existing laws and make sure the government is doing its job.

I have not read the text of it yet, but I think the headline is misleading.
