Like I said Facts have no effect on them.
Chronic pessimism is a mental disorder. It's hard to treat.
Probably no cure at all. I don't think it will never go away.

The House passed an assault weapons ban Friday evening looking to give Democrats a last-minute win on their way out the door for August recess.
Five Democrats voted against the measure - Reps. Kurt Schrader, Ore., Vicente Gonzalez, Texas, Rep. Jared Golden, Maine and Rep. Ron Kind, R-Wisc.
Two Republicans voted for the measure - Reps. Chris Jacobs, N.Y., and Brian Fitzpatrick, Pa.
The ban cleared a procedural hurdle that allowed the House to move forward with expedited debate on Friday afternoon, with a final vote expected to follow. Three Democrats - Reps. Vicente Gonzalez, Texas, Jared Golden, Maine, and Kurt Schrader, Ore., voted 'no' with all Republicans, but the resolution passed 217 -211.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi meanwhile broke out a floor sign advertising AR-15s for children as she urged members to vote in favor of the ban.
'JR 15: Get 'em one like yours,' the ad reads, along with a photo of a child-sized AR-15.
'Our goal was to develop a shooting platform that was not only sized correctly, and safe, but also looks, feels and operates just like mom and dad's gun,' the ad continues.
The weapons manufacturer Wee 1 Tactics unveiled the 'JR-15' in January.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., expressed support for the child's semi-automatic weapon on Twitter.

The only hope is flooding the market with pre-ban ones, but it might be too late for that already.
“Make no mistake, we know that an assault weapon ban can work because it has worked before,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a floor speech

Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, Ron Kind of Wisconsin, and Kurt Schrader of Oregon all voted no.
Let ‘em pass it, they can’t enforce it.
Like they didn’t during the 94 ban? The makers and FFLs will comply if passed. Or they’ll end up doing 10+ years in prison/
They are a minor point to all this. The ban prohibits possession, as in the 100 million already in our hands.
No it doesn’t, all old ones will be ‘grandfathered in’ in thie bill. I suspect the next bill will be creating a registry for pre-bans under the idea of ‘gunshow loophole’ banning and/or ghost guns.
Transfers, even within family, will likely get banned if this goes through.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Any law can be defeated, or repealed. Instead of focusing on gloom and doom work to elect representatives and senators who will implement a pro 2nd amendment set of laws.
If you can't think of anything better to do start working the phones for the candidates running against RINOs like Liz Cheney.
IMO phone spam just annoys people and will probably hurt your cause more than help it.
I vote when I can, the only one I will leave blank from now on is if Cornyn wins the primary. I can’t vote for that guy again after this gun crap. He’ll be first in line to sign this AWB too.
217+211=428. What happened to the other 7 members?
Where does Brian Fitzpatrick live in PA?
Bucks County...represents the lib infested Phillyburbs.
Yup,
Went to their website,
Gave them a hit.
400 bucks,,,
I’m sure they will do well with this Advertisement!!
.
Yup,
It’s just setting the Big stage for the Final act.
Call your representatives in Congress and make your positions known. Get up off your butt and organize a protest in front of their local office and home if you have to. Go to local board meetings and be a thorn in their side. Become a PC in the state GOP. Or just stay in your house and whine on FR about how bad America has become. It’s up to you.
In order to keep my sanity intact and my BP down, I continue to have faith that the USSC will stop the Dumbocrat madness like it’s stopped 90% of it so far. You can thank God and Trump for giving him the chance to appoint more conservatives to the court, BTW.
Your BP should be 200/150 after all this.
Maybe calm down if the senate rejects it, but that’s not certain.
The democrats control congress and presidency. If you’re not upset that they’re going to possibly pass this disaster, is a sign of extreme copium and denial.
According to this blatant assault against the Constitution and the Court, all private transfers would need to go through an FFL.
I really didn’t see that, I didn’t see a ‘gun show loophole’ thing with this 2022 AWB.
It doesn’t help any, it’s all illegal and evil. It just depends on how the legal system cracks down and affects people.
