NAACP chief to Congress after Texas shooting: ‘Don’t just post a tweet, pass a bill’
The hill ^ | 05/24/2022 | Olafiamihan oshin

The president of the NAACP on Tuesday called on lawmakers to take legislative action on gun rights in the wake of a shooting that killed 18 children in Texas, saying “Don’t just post a tweet, pass a bill.”

“There’s no statement. There are no words. I’m shattered for the community and frustrated by the lack of action by the government that should be working for the people,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement on Tuesday.

Johnson also said lawmakers must act immediately.

It’s funny how the maggots in the NAACP are always so ready to give up their rights to their honky massahs down at the DNC. Shut up idiot. If you want to pass bills to surrender your rights, go home or to a commie country to do it. You’re not ready for this freedom stuff yet, Snuffy.

Sure, pass a bill. I’m sure it will be as effective as the $28 million that cured the baby formula shortage by bloating the government payroll.

Bad people do bad things because they lack good moral judgment. They are a product of society and the garbage that we imprint on them. Is it any wonder that the more we omit Christianity from society the more crime we have?

Federal law currently prevents the use of Medicaid funds to pay for long-term care in a mental institution.

This is why most major cities are filled with mentally ill homeless and why the transexuals are running rampet.

All these nuts SHOULD BE IN THE LOONY BIN! but instead we throw them onto the street and then act surprised when they kill children or push people in front of subways.

A crime was committed so let US punish the law abiding.

“Don’t just post a tweet, pass a bill.”
And exactly what would be in that Bill?


I wonder what he would have to say if the bill called for all black people to be exiled or jailed because of the black on black deaths in Chicago.

Now don’t call me a racist. I am only pointing out that this mentality has been the root cause of every genocide in modern history. It is just as easy for corrupt politicians to blame a race as it is to blame a gun, for neither requires the mental effort and determination it requires to attack the real cause.

Before shooting off his mouth, it would pay him to determine the real factors in the high shooting death numbers.

I’d support a bill banning left wing lunatic transgenders from owning guns.

The murderer was insane.

How about we pass a law and get back that $40,000,000,000 Biden sent Ukraine so we can build some facilities to house the insane in this country?

The NAACP is silent as a church mouse when the same number of black youth get every killed every weekend in Chicago.

I agree with the NAACP. In order to keep guns out of the hands of those who would do us harm, Form 4473 should have a new entry that reads:

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Democrat Party?

The way to call out these idiots is to say, “Okay. Let’s have a test program. Everyone within a Top Ten Murder Rate city that must be disarmed:

10. Cleveland, OH
9. Memphis, TN
8. Kansas City, MO
7. New Orleans, LA
6. Baton Rouge, LA
5. Dayton, OH
4. Detroit, MI
3. Birmingham, AL
2. Baltimore, MD
...and drum roll...
1. St. Louis, MO

IMHO: something had to happen to shift focus from the Hhillary Clinton disaster re the Durham / Sussman trial. This kind of carnage where a bunch of innocent people die crap happens everytime one of DC’s sacred chosen’s crimes are being exposed. Iy’s not the guns, it’s the evil!

Bite it, Johnson.

The stupid Democrats need to stop being soft on crime, keep criminals locked up, stop encouraging children to be trans and grow the hell up. They flit around putting gays on pedestals, blatantly dividing races, keeping God out of society in general and then spew moral indignation when something like this happens.

The origin of all of the weapon laws we have today was the effort to “control” black people.

So this guy wants to go back to Jim Crow days?

And California was afraid of the Chinese.

So all liberals, progressives and other busybodies should be aware of the risk of unintended consequences.

Logical thinking American to NAACP dude..

With all the laws the shooter already broke can you honestly say another one would have stopped him?

What bill do you suggest? How does it violate the 2nd amendment?

Do you think gun free zones work? If yes. Explain the shootings.
