On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Don Lemon Tonight,” Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) argued that “just like” we regulate roads, cars, alcohol, cigarettes, and other things, “it should not be outside the realm of possibility to regulate guns so that parents don’t live in fear” of their children being shot.
Escobar said, “I take issue with folks who say, legislators aren’t doing anything or Congress isn’t doing anything. We need to be precise in our language. Because the only way that we’re going to solve this is to understand where the obstruction to solutions [is]. And there is one party in America that is so tied to the NRA, so addicted to their money and their endorsements that they’re willing to let babies die, and that is the Republican Party. In the House of Representatives, House Democrats, who hold a slim majority, we have passed some pretty commonsense gun violence prevention legislation. Every Republican has stood in the way of — on the Senate side — of advancing that legislation. In our state legislature, we saw Republicans who care more about opening up more avenues to guns than they do in helping ensure that we do some — engage in some commonsense conversations.”

If we can’t stop people from coming across the border, how will we stop guns from coming across the border?
So smokers and vehicle drivers are prone to shoot up schools and grandma? How ridiculous is that.
The school was a GFZ. GFZs have a proven record of being bad for people. Zero carry-allowed schools, and they do exist, have been the sites of completed mass shootings. Follow the science!
I would think, rather obviously, we need better regulation of these so-called “schools”. They appear to be the problem.
Maybe because there’s no “Right to drive on public streets” in the constitution.
Hell, there’s no law against private ownership of any car at any age, just as long as you keep it on private property.
Liberals are so dumb.
I do live in fear……..of government taking away my rights
Maybe we should regulate FAKE news like CNN 🤪
That’s right, there are NO regulations on guns. Who knew?
Actually since they do far more damage to our country than anything else, we should regulate Democrats.
We need some serious, common sense Congress critter control.
Vehicles, cigarettes, alcohol are NOT in the Constitution.
The woman is an effing idiot.
The 18th Amendment tried to insert alcohol into the Constitution, and what happened?
Ans. A nation run by Al Capone’s.
And what will happen if guns are outlawed?
Ans. Only outlaws will have guns.
We do regulate firearms already, also people die from vehicles and cigarettes, some who are not smokers or drivers even. So, apparently regulation is only a money making scheme.
I’m a million times more fearful of the government than a random shooter. The rogue commie government is gunning for 200 million of us.
The riots are still fresh in the minds of the gun owning public. As well as the “stand down” order given to the cops by liberal mayor’s as cities burned.
Good luck with that, congressman.
One of these is an enumerated right in the Constitution. Perhaps the rep should study the document.
The answer is not less guns, it’s more guns.
You think that idiot woulda went in that school if he knew there were 4 or 5 armed guards in there?
No gun zone = kill zone
How did a supposedly poor fatherless tranny who worked at Wendy’s afford $5k worth of rifles and a new Ram pickup?
