President Biden took aim at Republicans for not taking action in the wake of the latest Texas mass shooting that left nine people dead and again called on Congress to pass an assault weapons ban.

“Too many families have empty chairs at their dinner tables. Republican Members of Congress cannot continue to meet this epidemic with a shrug. Tweeted thoughts and prayers are not enough,” Biden said in a statement Sunday.

Meanwhile, I heard on the radio today, that someone ran over some people at a rest stop in Texas and killed quite a few of them.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

I am not sure why people accept this and don’t see it for what it is.

Nasty political ambulance chasing.

This is essentially a form of low life “self promotion.”

The deep state and all the 3 letter agencies will continue murdering innocent people until there’s a gun ban. They know eventually the people are going to rise up and that’s what truly scares them.

All of this coverage is encouraging copycat murderers. But the deep state is encouraging all of this. The gun ban will be gradual. At first they will ban "assault weapons". Next will be handguns. Then the remaining firearms will have to be registered. And the gun owners will have to be licensed. And it will be yearly. Classes will be mandatory. They will check your social media presence. One comment you made 10 years ago, and it looks like "hate speech", they will confiscate your firearms and revoke your firearms license.

Exactly, all the lefties care about is gun violence! Why is it whenever someone goes on a stabbing spree, we never hear about banning knives?!

The recent mass shooters have been:
1. Convicted felons released from jail.
2. Illegals who have been deported numerous times.
3. Trannies.

We see a pattern here, don’t we?

There are a HUGE number of empty chairs at the family tables of thousands of Americans who died from Covid treatment malpractice and unlawful, forced withholding of proven, lifesaving therapies.

Covid lies have been responsible for massive crimes against humanity. No gunman could kill as many innocents as these government monsters have killed with their barbaric and inhuman medical outrages regarding Covid.

Give up your guns and protection first biden


Comrade! Don’t you realize that it makes biden physically ill knowing that he is constantly surrounded by heavily armed men? It is one of many sacrifices that he is willing to make in order to serve the people and preserve our democracy from its real threat that the mega MAGA Republicans pose to our nation.

Just be grateful for all of the wisdom he has gained over the years and take comfort in the fact that he is the most qualified person to ever run for President and knows more than the vast majority of people.

"Please tell me what the use is of a gun ban if murderers are allowed to walk free."

The use is to leave us at the mercy of drug cartel gangs that will still have semiautomatic rifles. See Mexico, with its extreme gun control and murder rate? That's what our country will look like, if the rifles are banned here. Emergency/rescue will be paid more than ever to scrape up our remains, but they won't protect us.

There will not be an assault weapons ban no matter how many shootings occur.

RED vs BLUE. Half the people are programmed to hate the other half. Come election time it only takes a bit of effort to control the deciding margin.
