Republican pattern when you try to discuss gun safety measures with them

[Ohioboy]

1) Claim falsely that Dems only want total confiscation

2) Claim every proposed measure takes away their rights

3) Claim again that Dems only want total confiscation

4) Threaten that if Dems want to confiscate all the guns, go ahead and try it.


Meanwhile the next mass shooter is easily getting a gun.

1. You missed the step

Where every single potential control is somehow the direct slippery slope to total confiscation because ...Hitler.

[Claire Oh Nette]

2. Meanwhile the next mass shooter is easily getting *GUNS*

[mcar]

3. Claim that no gun laws would have stopped the latest "tragedy"

so there's no point enacting them.

Claim the shooter broke the law by murdering people; a law wouldn't have stopped him from getting guns.

[Mr.Bill]

4. That's when you tell them we should get rid of stop signs

and speed limits, because some people don't obey them any way.

[mcar]

8. Right?

[BumRushDaShow]

5. But the most-used excuse is... *drum roll*

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people"

(that one was dusted off and rolled out today by some GOP lawmakers - or should I all them - "law-breakers" )

[brush]

6. They also say it's too early to talk about it so don't politicize it.

The winger mayor in Uvalde yesterday said that to Beto O'Rourke yesterday when he confronted Abbott about the tragedy and his failure in gun legislation.

It's always too early to discuss.

7. I do want to take away their assault rifles and high capacity magazines and

I had my way I would include handguns. There are also simple things like raising the gun age to 21, more strenuous background checks, no more gun fairs (or whatever you call them) and pass red flag laws.

Time to stop making excuses and do something about this insanity.
