Manchin and Sinema quickly ruled out weakening the filibuster to pass gun safety legislation. Now it’s up to their Republican colleagues to prove to the centrist pair that there’s any middle ground

The only middle ground possible for those two and the R party is in armed guards in the schools.

It's the perfect dodge for those two because the deaths of children can be hung on the dem party for not allowing the armed guards.

This should be a slamdunk for the R's!
And when it doesn't work it can be said that the Dems didn't allow enough armed guards and didn't allow the most trained para-military armed guards that are needed to match the new crop of killers.

But it must be tried at least!

There IS middle ground. The left have never wanted to take it. Republicans have always been ok with trying to find bipartisan solutions to mass shootings that would actually work, while not attacking law abiding citizens of their 2A rights. Democrats have never been in favor of finding something that would actually work and just want to throw as much mud at the wall as they can and hope something sticks. Most of the "common sense" gun control legislation they talk about wouldn't have stopped the huge majority of the mass shootings we have had. But democrats want to do them anyway so they will feel better about themselves. We need to find something that would actually work but it's stupid to assume that if we had a ban on assault weapons that the person would not have committed a mass shooting and we need to realize that criminals don't follow gun control laws so it is idiotic to think that gun control laws will stop bad individuals from getting guns. All they have to do is steal them and that is exactly how most criminals get their guns.

Senators from AZ and WvA aren’t passing any gun control laws, they aren’t idiots.
 
This is how committed the dems are to "reform".

Chuck Schumer punts gun votes following Texas school shooting​


Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday he’s pushing to June votes on two House-passed gun control bills.

Schumer said the delay was meant to give GOP and Democratic senators more time to craft a compromise bill. But it also allows legislators to take a week-long Memorial Day break without action.

All the dems really want to do is make short term political hay (and money) on the backs of dead children.

They know that in a month the public will have moved-on.
 
What Gun safety legislation is needed to prevent the mass killing when he passed the Background Check?

Surely the 1,000 pages plus of gun control laws are enough?
Well, you see, normal adults aren't dense and narrow enough to think we are addressing only one event that happened in a vacuum.

They also know that improving our background checks could have helped prevent this incident.

If you put two horns on Schumer he would pass for the devil.
