Oh he is SO good at spinning conversations rightward. Thats the solution hes talking about. The solution is going to look like more guns, armed guards and metal detectors? Oh, he will say that isnt HIS opinion, he was just expressing the views of republicans that might want to actually do something. Parents arent going to want armed camps, he admits. But hes shifting the ground. Now hes asking whats realistic when it comes to this issue?
1. Schools as armed camps is a FAILURE.
2. It does NOTHING to stop guns at concerts, soccer games, movie theatres.
If we had a magical way to search social media... another fing straw man, Chuck. COMPANIES DO BACKGROUND CHECKS THAT INCLUDE SOCIAL MEDIA ALL THE TIME. You cant get a JOB without one. That doesnt require MAGIC, Chuck. It requires the will to do it.
But we had an assault weapons ban from 1994 to 2004, which the Democrats gave us, until the Republicans took it away. Thats not MAGIC either.
But hey, dont let the facts interfere with your agenda, which is to chronically paint the democrats as weak or ineffective or idealistic, and to paint Washington as a bipartisan gridlock caused by both parties.
One edit: his Im obsessed segment afterward was somewhat better but I am tired of his constant false equivalence and his lack of fairness in recognizing the strengths of Democrats.

(18,394 posts)With a long false equivalency, both sides diatribe about how Dems have handled gun control issues in the past. Chuck Toad is a dolt. I expect more from Melber.
