'You're a liar and a hack,' Sen. Rick Scott tweeted to Schumer after he blocked Luke and Alex School Safety Act

Democrats see Uvalde shooting as a political asset: Miranda Devine

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Wednesday blocked a school safety bill that has Republicans crying foul.

After the horrific mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school that killed 19 children and two teachers, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., asked for the Luke and Alex School Safety Act to be passed by unanimous consent.

The bill, named after Parkland, Florida, shooting victims Luke Hoyer and Alex Schachter, would require the Department of Homeland Security to establish a "Federal Clearinghouse on School Safety Best Practices" for use by state and local educational and law-enforcement agencies, institutions of higher education, health professionals, and the public. And it would require DHS to "collect clearinghouse data analytics, user feedback on the implementation of best practices and recommendations identified by the clearinghouse, and any evaluations conducted on these best practices and recommendations."

Schumer is excellent at two things; obstruction and anything to do with stealing taxpayers monry.

They don’t really want to solve the problem. They get too much mileage out of every attack.

Hey limp wristed republicans, maybe you should use the democrat tactics against THEM for a change? Barge into Biden’s or Pelosi’s press conference. Yell at them. Cuss at them. Beg on the floor of the senate. They do it to you and the media doesn’t say a word. Grow a pair of BALLS!

DemonRat mindset:

Leave schools VULNERABLE TO MASS SHOOTINGS so there will be MORE MASS SHOOTINGS. Their focus is on GUNS, NOT PROTECTING CHILDREN. After all, this is the party of ABORTION, right?

Sick bastards WANT more school shootings not FEWER school shootings in order to keep the focus on GUN BANS.

DEAD KIDS are nothing more than a POLITICAL TOOL to the DemonRats to KEEP THE FOCUS ON GUNS, NOT PROTECTING CHILDREN.

No they don’t. This is just a political thing to them. A means to an end, a way to push their agenda. They don’t give a rat’s furry behind about you or your kids. This is just disgusting. Sick.

Neither party is inured from grandstanding and/or bandwagon jumping behind any tragedy. Everything is political gamesmanship to them.

In reality, every politician in DC would be ecstatic if all Americans were disarmed.

If anyone wanted to solve this problem they would be talking about mental health and how to reopen the mental health facilities that were closed in the 1980s. They would also be questioning the need for and use of anti-depressant medications for a significant portion of our society.

Until those very real and important conversations happen, all this discussion of these sorts of events is coming from people who are generating static.

This is understandable. DHS is too busy monitoring twitter for criticism of the regime and writing reports about how all the problems in America are caused by white men, they don’t have time for extra work.

Thank you for referencing that article Its All Over Except .... Please note that the following critique is directed at the FN article and not at you.

Kudos to Sen. Schumer for getting one right by blocking the constitutionally indefensible school safety bill of the post-17th Amendment ratification, election year RINOs!

Although Schumer was undoubtedly taking a party line shot at "Republicans," it remains that the states have never expressly given the feds the specific power to legislatively address INTRAstate school safety.

In other words, the RINO bill would have been another unconstitutional expansion of the already unconstitutionally big federal government's powers.

Will somebody please explain to me why it is evidently assumed that the corrupt federal government uniquely has a "magic wand" that can solve all the challenges of the sovereign states, intrastate school safety for example, better than the school communities can?

“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

I think that I heard a follow the unconstitutional federal funding.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Rinse and repeat same tactic - blame Republicans, block legislation may actually address the problem, blame Republicans again and attack “the gun lobby.”

Dims simply want to control guns, and our access to them. Reducing mass murder opposes this plan.
