Senate Democrats say a major floor debate on gun control is inevitable after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, left at least 19 children and two adults dead, only 10 days after another massacre killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo.
The second high-profile killing spree in the span of just more than a week means that Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) will be under heavy pressure to bring a gun-control measure to the floor before the July 4 recess, risking a partisan brawl that could be tough on vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in swing states this fall.
“We need to vote. We need to hold every member of the Senate accountable. Every one of us should be put on the record,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), the chairman of Judiciary’s Constitution Subcommittee, who held a series of hearings last year to address gun violence.
Members of Congress are already taking heat for not having had a serious debate on gun-control measures since 2013, after a 20-year-old gunman killed 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
“The bottom line is I just watched a girl walk across the plaza that held up a sign that said, ‘This is your fault.’ We need to do something,” said Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.).
“The people that are here aren’t totally crazy. If they can’t see that we need to do something and still protect our Second Amendment rights, then we’re denying a reality that’s happening far too often. This is the second shooting in ten days. We need to figure it out,” he said.

There is a noticeable lack of interest concerning this shooters identity and background. That alone tells me that this doesn’t help the established narrative.
Was he a tranny? Are you sure? You saying this is a biological female or a biological male who thinks he female?
Lol. How you gonna keep a steel plate out of an 18 year old’s hands?
They never get a new agenda. The US public does not want gun control. Most politicians know it.
” Bet ya this freak was on meds as well.”
On meds or off of ‘em.
Town like Uvalde already looks like Mexico. Go look at the under 18 demographics in states like Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada.
These people don’t go to a place with people who have guns. They go to a place with soft targets and gun free zones. Gonna need to arm teachers but they need to be trained and make sure they are background checked to the hilt. Make sure they are stable.
You have to have a proper amount of entrances and exits for fire safety. You could make a small glass bullet proof room you go through after you pass into a entrance where the door is locked and have to be buzzed in. Open them for school to begin and end. Of course if there is a fire but during school hours you have to be buzzed in. But even then bad people would enter during the beginning of school so students would have to go through metal detectors. Would take to long to check every student before school. So just arm the teachers and maybe have off duty officers and properly vetted armed volunteers to watch entrances during school hours.
The dems always run their yap over gun control,but NEVER bring up the fact that Mental Health issues are ignored.All across the Nation Mental Hopitals have closed for the last 40 years.They’d rather spend money on keeping their voting block in tact They also never insist on doing drug toxicity tests,AND making them public !
Jon Testesless is full of crap.
Yet again - it’s not the murderer who carried out the act of evil that is at fault...it’s the US Senate’s fault.
This is just beyond comprehension.
Biological male who thinks he is female. See post #46.
“Suspicious how quickly they had this bill teed up and ready to go.”
Alcee Hastings (criminal D - FL) introduced legislation every year to ban handguns. These commie psychopaths store anti-freedom bills in their desk drawers and pull them out as needed to impress their 50-IQ base of voters.
Looks like a fag to me.
Yes, Sen Tester....we DO need to ‘do something’ about leftist policies that....
Removed God from schools
Removed fathers from families, replacing them with welfare
Teaching gender studies, over actual social studies and real history
Teaching CRT, over self responsibility
Push prescription drugs, to medicate, rather than deal with mental issues
Don’t you DARE exploit this tragedy and ignore YOUR OWN policies, that have caused/allowed these KNOWN wolfs to become bad actors, in an attempt to disarm the law abiding public.
We have to stop pretending abnormal behavior is normal. It’s gotten so bad we now have a sitting supreme court justice who can’t define what a woman is, for fear of blowback from the Rachael Levin-wing of the Democrat party.
“We do need to do something to stop this from happening.”
How about $40 billion to secure schools, institutionalize crazies, and secure the border?
How about the $75K for that fancy new Dodge Ram pickup?
What does that flag mean? It’s a new one to me.
They can head whereever they want. They have lost the consent of the goverened.
