    We can’t do anything about gun violence because people with guns will use violence…

    You’re basically arguing that not only do we negotiate with terrorists, we have to endanger everyone else to keep the terrorists happy

    Did you never learn how it worked out when people tried to appease nazis?

    Spoilers: they never stay appeased long.

      Walk me through the math on gun control. Which GOP reps will support it in the house and senate? Tell me their names. I’ll assume that all dems and independents will go along with it

        In 2021 Dems controlled the House, Senate, and presidency… It wasn’t till 2023 the Republicans had the House.

        So why do you assume it wasn’t done during those two years?
