The deadly mass shooting in Uvalde, TX, is leading to a flurry of new demands for gun control. As is par for the course in these situations, political posturing takes center stage, and any discussion of who the shooter was, why he did what he did, and what actually might have prevented him from doing it is pushed aside for vast generalities and nods toward unrelated “solutions.”

Take universal background checks, for example. That is the top policy prescription being offered by Democrats and their media allies right now. The problem? The Uvalde shooter passed a background check. But what about mandatory waiting periods, another common proposal? Well, the shooter waited over a week before even picking up the rifles he bought, meaning he’d have been outside of pretty much any waiting-period window (most are three to seven days). Is the suggestion that one more week would have changed the evil in his heart?

Unfortunately, Republicans in Washington are beginning to wilt under the pressure even though the pressure being applied is largely irrational and in bad faith. Per Axios, a non-insignificant number of GOP senators are lining up to “compromise” on gun control.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that there are “many more Republicans willing to talk” about gun control legislation following the Uvalde mass shooting last week than he’s seen in the last 10 years.

Driving the news: “Every single time after one of these mass shootings, there’s talks in Washington and they never succeed,” Murphy said. “But there are more Republicans interested in talking about finding a path forward this time than I have ever seen” since the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

[PeachyKeen]

You betcha they are. They just love being in the minority and to act like spineless wimps.

[Leep]

I’m not sure they are acting..?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Assistant Democrats exist to assist the Democrats.

[PeachyKeen]

You’re right!

Hell yes, them Dems throw the best parties, have all the right connections to make money in office and after plus their media will write nice things about us to fluff our delicate and fragile egos, while protecting our pale thin skins. Life is good, voters are stupid.

[From The Deer Stand]

You can’t the RINO pubbies. They’ll crap on you the first chance they get.

[NWFree]

We need universal background checks for libtards to verify they’re even real citizens 🤪

[No name given]

Heck yeah.

[DoughtyOne]

Start with Obama then...

Dear politicians- I will surrender my armed defense AFTER you all surrender yours.

With only 3 dozen mass shooters in the last 30 years, isn’t it obvious that we’re not going to pick those crazy people out of a lineup of about 500 million who’ve lived and died in our country over the last 30 years?

Registration is a joke. They won’t identify shooters, and they’ve never had trouble finding the weapon.

So, why punish the 499,999,964 people who have not been mass shooters?

Answer: the socialists want to take your guns.

[facedown]

There is probably some truth to this but Chris Murphy is a lying doctrinaire communist.

[justme4now]

Our Right's are God given and I don't need permission from politicians to exercise them!

Every "gun law" that has been passed, including the "has to be 18 years old to purchase" is unconstitutional!

Why is it so damn hard for people to understand that allowing others to deem what you can or can't own for your protection will one day Own you!?

United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875)

PART 1

The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.

PART 2

The Second Amendment means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government.

They are as dirty as the rats.

If these RINOs are going wobbly we have to get out there, in their faces, and put the fear of god into them.
