Alabama Ready for More Gun Control, Sen. Doug Jones Says
Roll Call ^ | Griffin Connolly

Posted on 03/06/2018 5:28:36 AM PST by Flick Lives

Alabamians are ready for more gun control.

At least that’s what their Democratic Sen. Doug Jones said.

Jones wants tighter background checks for gun sales and to raise the age requirement to purchase a gun from 18 to 21, and he thinks Alabamians are on the same page.

“People in Alabama love their guns, but they also love their children,” Jones told CNN Friday at an event at Birmingham’s Civil Rights Institute sponsored by the Faith and Politics Institute, NOLA.com reported. “And they like to be safe in theaters, and they like to be safe in churches, and I think there is common ground.”

Lawmakers are considering a host of proposals in the latest round of talks surrounding mass shootings after a 19-year-old gunman killed 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida, in February.

A Democrat from a deeply red state, Jones has his eye fixed on the middle of the political spectrum and hopes the gun debate can be a harbinger of greater bipartisan efforts on other issues.

I’m sure you said the same about Trump. You sound like one of those Bush-McCain-Romney republicans with a dash of Lindsay Graham for good measure.

Not at all at that type. Why don’t you just put yourself out of your misery. There is cyanide or a 38 special to the temple.

Not me. You are the one who is in misery. End it for yourself.

in your post #18 of 10 school shootings there is a common thread. 8 of the ten shootings were all done by STUDENTS of the school with one being done by an ex-student.

So it seems the GUN control effort pushed by teachers, students, pols probably should be shifted to a STUDENT control effort if they expect to see any results.

That’s your fantasy, son. Maybe you should get some help before you hurt yourself. John Kasich is looking forward to your vote in the 2020 primary. You wouldn’t want to disappoint him now, would ya?

You are so f’d up and Karnak you are not. I have never voted for anyone like Kasich and am a very happy person. All that you do in FR is bellyache all the time. UYou are the one suffering from depression. BTW I am working my AR15 and putting my new bumpstock on it.

Good, bad or indifferent, Strange would have Won against Jones and we have 53 GOP Senators instead of 52.

Note that Strange Voted with POTUS Trump’s Agenda every time.

I’m not the one talking about suicide fantasies. I’m no psychologist, but you do seem to have some issues in that regard.

Strange was widely viewed as corrupt. That was not a false or inaccurate perception. There was an excellent chance he’d have lost to Jones on that account. Bentley had no business appointing him.

You may be suicidal because all you do on here is belly ache. Like Joy Behar with a bad case of PMS.

Like I said earlier. You seem to have a graphic and disturbing interest in suicide. Just remember before you go pulling any triggers that it is a mortal sin. Eternity is a very long time to spend in such a very warm place.

I don’t have an interest in suicide you are the belly archer. You are miserable and never have anything pleasant to say. You are a scoffer. Put your Kotex pad on or grow a pair.

"There is cyanide or a 38 special to the temple."

"Go put a pistol in your mouth FF!"

"I am working my AR15 and putting my new bumpstock on it."

"I don’t have an interest in suicide"

Dude. Simmer down. Before you hurt someone.

You are the one that is going to hurt yourself or someone. You take everything out of context and all that you do on here is complain. You are the one suffering with depression and you project your own problem on everyone else. Your obsession to this exchange proves what a loon you are.

Nobody is out to get you. Everything will be okay. Take a few deep breathes and put away your firearms. Jesus loves you.

You are a freaking sicko. You also do not have any discernment.
