I'm so sick of hearing about how the NRA is to blame for gun safety measures not getting passed. Republicans proposed 2 bills, 1 that was sponsored by the NRA and they still got shot down.
Democrats proposed laws nearly identical to what is already in place but not being fully enforced...they were shot down.
Republicans proposed allowing police more power to block gun sales and communicate about suspicious purchases....and they were shot down.
Democrats can't think of anything new so they reword the current laws and expect that to make a difference. Republicans offer common sense legislation and get shot down because they aren't being harsh enough.
I doubt the Democrats have any desire to actually solve the gun problem. If they did, they'd stop bringing up the same arguments that have been debunked for years.
Stricter guns laws have done nothing to curb crime in Chicago. In fact, it's gotten worse so let's just stop that argument...it won't work.
They want to ban "assault rifles" but that wouldn't stop a criminal from buying multiple hand guns and doing the same damage.
It's clear that mass shooting don't become mass shootings if there are armed citizens around to stop the attacker early on. It takes too long for Police to respond and it costs lives.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. Whether that be a police officer or an armed citizen.
