John Cornyn:TX conservative turned Biden-approved rational Republican, says it will be "embarrassing" if Senate does nothing on guns in wake of Uvalde

It's not about being embarrassing, or making anything better, it's about getting re-elected.

MAN OH MAN these people love their gubmit jobs.
...true

And that fucker is on his way out if he does ANYTHING affecting firearms. We ALL know that is not he problem.

If he proposes some form of mental health program, I would support him MUCH more. Otherwise, he will be job hunting come 2027 (way too fucking long).


By the way, can we reduce senator terms to 4 years, instead of 6. That is way too fucking long.

Cornyn has repeatedly supported state encroachment on rights and liberties. Is there a greater proponent of the misnamed ‘Patriot Act’?

What do you do when the belief in strictly limited government is considered a mental health issue?

They've been moving into that territory for a while now. Lumping libertarians into the same category as extremism. And openly, too.
 
What is embarrassing is how Democrats have defeated or blocked their own gun ban legislation for the last 20 years, and now they are also openly blocking any legislation that would make schools and kids safer if that legislation is not limited to gun bans.

Approx 23 or so Democrats sent Pelosi a letter begging her to stop with the gun ban bullshit because Americans don't want it and if they vote for it they will be voted out of office in Nov.

Again, not one of these gun grabbers has stopped to address THE main problem:

WHY?

Why are these kids shooting up schools? Until you address the WHY, until you figure out WHY, no amount of gun grabbing will work.

Mental illness, confusing kidergartners about gender, CRT training in schools, telling kids mommy and daddy are terrorists because they actually want to raise you instead of the govt, violent rap music, violent video games, violent movies glorifying guns / killing, fatherless families, undermining the nuclear family, undermining faith, etc...

It's much easier to blame an inanimate object than to actually try to get to the roots of the problem and try to fix them.

Perhaps some politicians are afraid if they look too hard for the problem part of the problem might be THEM - violent rhetoric, calls for threats and intimidation and violence against others, supporting domestic terrorist Antifa & BLM extreme violence, constantly fanning the flames of racism and division...

Perhaps many parents would rather blame guns then ask how their kid's got those guns, admit they don't know their kids Ike they should because they haven't been involved like they should, would have to admit they have been letting tv, video games, schools, gangs, and / or govt raise their kids...

- Remember the mom who saw her kid on TV participating in the protest violence, went down to where he was and smacked his ass and made him go home - all shown on TV.?! We need more parents willing to be 'THAT' mom!

Blaming guns for what's going on is a cop out ... and a mean's to a political agenda ...

...because places like Chicago prove more gun laws and disarming law-abiding citizens does nothing to solve THE real problem.

Precisely! See post #16.

There is one wrinkle though. See post on other thread:

Pelosi will define "high capacity" magazines as 10 bullets...we told you...they use magazine limits as back door gun bans.
 
Democrats tried to push their definition of a viable human being capable of living outside the womb as a lump of cells. We rejected that.

Pelosi isn't Queen, & we don't have to let her define shit...
Actually, easy, I wanted you to click on the link above and briefly follow the discussion between pee-brain and me regarding the mental-health wrinkle.
 
How would we deal with the mental-health aspect of the problem? I'm not trusting the schools with it.
Instead of her faux Trump Impeachment 3.0 or other ridiculous hearings, Congress should have a public hearing to come up with ideas, not just on mental health but on any / all issues contributing to these mass shootings
 
John Cornyn, tapped as McConnell’s emissary to bipartisan negotiations on gun legislation, is feeling the pressure after years of congressional failure to get a bill done. If the Senate can’t agree on a legislative response after the killings in Uvalde, Cornyn said, “it will be embarrassing.”

Any federal firearm legislation is automatically illegal.
Anyone pushing for federal gun control is a traitor who should be in jail.

States or local is entirely different.
 
How would we deal with the mental-health aspect of the problem? I'm not trusting the schools with it.

The access for mental health needs to be community based and not just school based, because everyone can have problems, not just students.

But, of course, the Democrats want to limit debate to gun confiscation of some kind and demonize Republicans.
 
If you follow the exchange from this point on what you will see is a disingenuous person who is obviously not looking for a solution but an argument while avoiding what has to be done and what should be done just like the Democrats. I systematically back him into a corner of his own making. See exchange starting as post #21 onward.
 
The Republicans will make some symbolic gestures towards gun control legislation, while the public is riled about the recent mass shootings, but once the public outraged subsides, they will make sure that nothing is done.
what's the solution big mouth?
