US Senate Republicans block assault-style weapons ban as mass shootings rise
U.S. Senate Republicans moved to block a ban on assault-style weapons put forward by Democrats on Wednesday, as the United States recorded the highest number of mass shootings for the second year in a row.
You're viewing a single thread.
Conservatives won’t stop standing in the way of progressive gun control until school shootings become a national attraction.
“Hey look kids! A school shooting! So glad we took this vacation to rural America!”
They won't do it until one of their kids is a victim and suddenly it affects them personally. And even then, only one vote will change.
That's their M.O. They don't care when their policies are actively hurting other people so long as they aren't affected.
So your stance is that only liberal kids get victimized?
All kids are victimized but most conservatives don't care until it's their kid specifically. Kind of like most political issues that people who have empathy care about.
So conservatives don't care if the children of liberal parents are victims?
No they don't. They immediately jump to "they must have deserved it."
If you honestly believe that you are so full of hate your judgement is off.
Then maybe they should do something.
I didn't say I believe that, it's what conservatives believe.
Let me simplify this for you:
So conservatives don't care if
thechildrenof liberal parentsare victims?That right there is my point. What are the deaths of a few children so long as there are zero restrictions placed on gun ownership? They won't care until it affects them in a very personal way. The people with the capacity to change things are presently choosing not to. One has to wonder what would finally cause them to do something.
And I'm not even asking for anything crazy like the assault weapons ban that has been floated recently. We can't even get the most reasonable legislation passed.
Our answer to "more gunmen" cannot be "more guns". Or, rather, it can, but take a look around. How's that working out for us?
Their stance is that conservatives are babies who took the miraculous and precious human ability to empathize with other beings and stunted it with with a bunch of half-assed morality stories about how the world is supposed to work that have nothing to do with reality.
Wow. Just wow. There was an attempt.
You're seeing what you want to see my man, not what's actually written. Try again.
For $150 a person, you can be taken through a school, wearing a bullet proof vest, during an active shooter drill!
