Elections are simply algorithms that need to be adjusted.

Unlikely.

His future is over.

This is the most hopeful I’ve been on these talks to-date.

He didn’t even say, when he walked out, “F-you Brandon and all of your communist tranny cross dressers!”

What this dope doesn’t seem to grasp is the DECISION was made in 1776.

Don’t forget those who were willing to go along with it. Because at least one senator in particular is going to be acting like a conservative on Sean Hannity’s show in about 6 months, unless he’s not running in 2024.

I’m inside the TX GOP convention and just watched John Cornyn’s speech. He bravely endured the booing and managed to finish his speech. He was stunned and shocked as he weakly stumbled off the stage.

A true compromise would be the NFA 1934 and GCA 68/86 and every other ‘gun law’ gets removed. In return we won’t give them a free dirt nap for blatantly violating our rights. Offer good only for 90 days.

The bipartisan ‘framework’ should be a gallows for those who would further dilute the Bill of Rights.

It was the red flag laws they really wanted--an attempted end around of both the 2nd amendment and I believe a Supreme Court ruling by giving money to the states to do the same thing.

Don't forget.

What do those who want to disarm us have to offer us?

We have the guns, they have NOTHING to bargain with except bluff and bluster along with threats of legislation. They have nothing we want or need from the Government.

And we still have the guns.

Nobody actually dares any further compromise against the 2A because there’s an election looming.

He's not up. Safe for several more years. He's one of the worst 'republicans' in the Senate. He stands for nothing but corporate money.

I am no fan of Cornyn, but he may have joined the talks specifically to bring them to this point. Undermining gun control legislation from within would be a clever move, and it would provide a good public narrative (We tried, but they wouldn’t be reasonable, etc.). I also am almost sure most Dems DON’T want legislation. They want the issue to run on in the fall. So, some Rs join the negotiation for legislation neither side wants, and the negotiation breaks up with both sides having a story for the public. Actually, in the case of the Rs, they have the “they wouldn’t negotiate in good faith” argument for the imbecile suburban women and the true “the Ds are totalitarians who want to disarm Americans to more easily rule them” argument.

What? John, I thought you agreed that both sides are looking for “common sense” solutions
