[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They tried after Sandy Hook and failed.

Look, it is pretty much pointless until the Rs are willing to negotiate. Sinema and Manchin won’t kill the filibuster.

Any gun legislation would meet these roadblocks. It just is what it is.

Trust me, I hate this, but it is the absolute reality.[/quote]

They tried one time, 11 years ago, and failed so they gave up.

Then why can't they pivot and offer something else to protect us? They are actually making things worse by reducing police and becoming more lenient ("prison reform").  Crime is going up, not down. If their only answer is to say, well, we tried once and failed, and now we are going to pull back all protections and let you all fight it out on the streets-- that is not a persuasive pitch to voters.  Clean it up. [/quote]

Give them control of the House and Senate and they will fix it.  This is on voters.[/quote]

Please. If they aren't introducing legislation now, you think they will later?  [/quote]

They need the house back AND 60 people in the Senate willing to vote for gun control OR a senate D majority willing to eliminate the filibuster[/quote]

Okay, well they could start by trying. Most people understand that things take time, that you often fail several times before you succeed, etc. It's alarming that they aren't even trying because that is putting them further behind. If they were trying, they would be having negotiations, learning where there are areas of common ground and compromise, etc. But they aren't willing to do that because they are all Tucker Carlson types that just like to get people whipped up into outrage about how the other side is full of terrible people.

We need some adults in the room because this unacceptable. We elect people in to work for us, and they are making things worse.  [/quote]
