[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at those goal posts move! [/quote]

Yes they've moved, because our communities have gotten less safe. It's not crazy to look at what politicians are actually doing vs what they say they will do.  What, are we supposed to just be happy that they make promises to us at all? Regardless of whether they keep them?

Violence is spiraling out of control.  They should be passing gun control or at a minimum, enforcing the laws already on the books. They are doing neither.  I don't need politicians to be an influencer class that just tells me gun control is good. They need to actually do their jobs and pass the laws, oversee the enforcement, appropriate funding, etc.  [/quote]

The goal posts have moved since a couple of hours ago when a PP said, "No one is attempting to pass gun control legislation at the federal level. Not the GOP, and not the Democrats." This is just false. If a person doesn't think the proposals are going far enough or that lawmakers are doing enough to try to get the measures passed? Fine. Say that. [/quote]

None of this matters. And you are focusing on the wrong thing. And it's despicable.

Says you. Democrats are trying to enact federal gun control restrictions, and they should get credit for that. Not just lumped in with Republicans as part of a nihilistic #BothSides complaint. [/quote]

What's nihilistic is the constant political point scoring over the dead bodies of families and children and pretending to fight for gun control when you're really doing nothing of the sort.  This isn't a both sides issue bc the GOP doesn't pretend to try to control the sale of guns. Honestly, someone posted that they want to hire 200 ATF agents. That is NOTHING for the scale of this problem. We need a crackdown.[/quote]
