    So, I ask again, what are Democrats doing about it? What are they even proposing that has any kind of support? Additionally, can you point to any mass shooting which would have been prevented by that legislation?

    Democratic half measures won’t do diddly.

    What is Biden trying to so regarding gun laws?

    Stricter gun laws are going to do what exactly?

    I think I read this 18 y/o did this with a hand gun. Are we going to outlaw handguns?

    “stricter gun laws” are half measures that won’t stop anything.

    Only 3-4 mass shootings stand out to me over the last 10 years. I remember where I was and what I was doing.

    Sandy Hook
    San Bernaridino
    Las Vegas
    Orlando
    And now Uvalde

    This is on top of the nearing daily mass shootings over the last 15 years.

    I love guns but this is no way to live.

    What are they even proposing to do?

    This **** isn't going to stop unless we actually totally get rid of guns or make it absurdly difficult to get your hands on one.

    Capping magazine sizes, back ground checks, assault weapons ban... all half measures that won't stop these horrible events.

    I think this was carried out with a handgun. Nobody, except a few fringe Democrats, are proposing we stop selling handguns.

    That's not something Sleep Joe or most mainstream Democrats support.

    If Clarence Thomas and crew are in power,
    SCOTUS will vote down probably all gun laws. Hyper partisan nut jobs. Who knew Bush’s Roberts would be comparatively liberal leaning compared to what Trump dumped on the court.

    Why is it here out of all places in the world that mass shooting exists at this scale? What is your solution? What DO you want to see happen?

    I started this thread and even I didn’t expect to see it be 76 pages long. This is sad.

    Why did this almost never happen until 1999? Why has it happened so many times since?

    I'd like to repeal the 2nd amendment, buy back as many firearms as I could and promote legislation to stop selling new guns.

    Won't effect me or anyone else in my lifetime probably but maybe someday in the future it can rid society of guns.

    What do you want to see done?

    Who said I vote republican? Does anything I just suggest have any purchase in the Democratic party? That's my point.

    Democrats aren't suggesting meaningful changes either.

    "ItS thE GoP's FaUlt" - Yea, well, what are the Democrats you vote for proposing? Some half measures that won't actually change anything? What's the most aggressive thing on guns Sleep Joe has ever said?

    Don’t be an ass. The dems would overwhelmingly support more gun control.

    Your solution is to get rid of the 2nd amendment tell me how is that possible? The biggest road block is the right. Why is that? Why do they block anything meaningful on gun control? What are the real possible solutions at hand because the way the republic is set up there is no way to change the amendment without the support on the right. To blame the left is intellectually dishonest at best.

    How it is possible? I suppose like anything it involves persuading the peoples representatives to effectuate it.

    How many Democratic members of Congress have come out for repealing the 2nd amendment? What has sleep Joe ever said about it? Oh that's right, they don't want to do it either.
