You gotta watch this - just happened in Texas

I can "guarantee" you that is not 100% true in this day and age. Roe vs Wade is the perfect example. That has been a Supreme Court upheld law for 52 years that now because there is a majority of conservatives in the Supreme Court, they are changing it. This is all about personal ideas of each judge or Justice and not 100% because of Constitutional law.

If every conservative Supreme Court Justice had lost a child due to people being able to buy guns of mass killing, I can guarantee you that Constitutional right would now be amended to where it could not happen again. Human nature and personal beliefs (or interpretation of such) overrules everything. Supposed to be above politics is what should be but ISN'T. Roe vs Wade is once again the perfect example. That law occurred because of Supreme Court Justices 52 years ago deemed it to be right (above politics) and now politics is overturning what those Supreme Court Justices ruled back then.

The reality is that either those Justices in the past were biased or these Justices are. No other explanation is possible.
They all were. :unsure:
 
At least you are honest. Just pass a law. ANYTHING. Ir doesnt matter if it works or is effective.
Why wouldn't what worked in other countries not work here?
 
In trying "to own the libs" you're arguing for gun control.
If you call exposing leftists that only care about gun violence when uts the right kind of victims and the right kind of perpetrator and the right kind of means…then yeah…i suppose you could say thats owning libs…but really…its more leftists showing themselves as the pieces of shit that they are. And that has nothing to do with gun control. Seriously…when was the last time YOU even bothered to give a **** about the violence that is perpetrated everyday in the rat run rat infested shitholes you built?
 
In no world is that the ‘norm’. The norm is day to day gin violence where children die in black communiities and people like you and Beta dont say shit. THATS the norm. Its rather humorous watching you ‘people’ pretend to actually give a ****
as opposed to just being a bunch of opportunists looking to use dead children to press your anti-gun agenda.
Hold on a sec, you mean to say that the Republicans are doing something about the killing of children? That this piece of data (children getting killed in school) is the norm of "day to day gun violence"? Yes, in the world there is violence the same as here and kids get killed because of home violence, because of shootings between gangs, between people or just plainly people that don't give a damn about others, including their own children.

Nonetheless, in THIS CASE, it is specifically about mass killings in which schools were targeted by people with hate in their hearts, with mental illness, or simply because they have been made to believe lies and decided to do something about it. This is not about preventing violence but about preventing preventable violence. In most of these cases, these mass killings could have been prevented or avoided if the Republicans had compromised with the Democrats in imposing some simple gun regulations that are not for preventing gun purchases for 99% of the people but prevent that 1% (or less) of people that are in that category of dangerous to others by what they have said or done.

How you can compare one with the other is beyond my ability to reason. The only reason you can even think about arguing this point is pure bias and lack of value for the life of INNOCENT children.

I mean, this chart says it all. Charts about violence worldwide due to normal causes are more evenly matched around the world. Here, the difference is 8 versus 288. That is not a norm or a normal problem. This stat does not happen anywhere else. It is a problem that exists ONLY HERE in the United States. In other parts of the world, there are always two or more parties struggling to be in power and there are always disagreements among them. This disagreement is one of a kind and it speaks volumes about the Republicans not willing to compromise on something as basic as protecting the lives of children.

End of story. There is absolutely NOTHING you can say or argue that will erase the data of this chart. This is an American problem and one that is specific to the Republican Party. Republicans are to blame for this................no ifs, and, or buts about it.

Your chart emphasizes my point. Of those 288 school shootings, the only tome you crawl out from under your rock is when there is one you can exploit. You dont give a shit about school shootings when it is the fairly common instances of minority shooters and minority victims. Not a ****ing works out of your mouth. But when it is one you can exploit….suddenly you pretend to care. You dont. You dont give a ****. All you care about is an instance you can use to promote a cause. After this dies down you will ignore gun violence. You will ignore minority involved school shootings. Because you couldnt give a **** less if you were paid to not.
 
No. I don't want Democrats acting like DT cultists. O'Rourke was totally in the wrong here.

No he wasn't for the simple reason that the rules of the game were set by the Republicans. By Republican rules, this is normal way of acting.

Here are the "rules of the game" as set by the Republicans

Calm down. The shooting is gonna hurt Abbott no matter how much you complain

Again…you prove my point. You dont give a **** about the kids….they are just props for you to Score political points.
 
Tell me, what amount of discussion about fixing this damn problem are we allowed to engage in?

When is good for you people? Apparently it's not fine now, because it's too soon. Can we discuss the Buffalo mass murder yet, or is that old news?

Because all I see from conservatives is a lot of hiding behind the corpses of dead innocents, handing out useless platitudes, and trying to wait out the news cycle. It's all you have.

Ok-- well the Texas law in which this guy bought his weapons has been in effect for decades-- has nothing to do with Abbot.
Now, if O'Rourke wishes to argue that Texas should change that law, that's all fine and well.
But if we wishes to showboat about it, then he justly deserves that criticism.
 
What of it?
I applaud your honesty. Most of the leftists here at least try to pretend they care about the dead kids they use for more than a political prop.

Caring about shot kids didn't get the job done in the past. And it won't get the job done in the future. You have something against learning from mistakes?

Wow, you are following the Trumper script guidelines word for word. "When you do not have an answer, attack the poster".

You have no idea of who I am or what I care about so your accusations are pure fabrications on your part. Even if you were right (which you aren't), the data stands for itself. My own ideas, feelings, or ways of thinking have no impact on the facts of the case.

You have NOT been able to address the issue (facts and data). That is the bottom line. You have no answer to "the Republicans are the guilty party here, regarding the incredible amount of the targeted school shootings of children".

Like I said before....."the data speaks for itself".
 
“These massacres aren’t natural disasters, acts of God, or random. They are totally predictable, direct consequences of the choices made by Greg Abbott and the majority of those in the legislature,” O’Rourke tweeted.
This windbag should link up with law enforcement to give them his algorithm that predicts when and where crimes are going to happen among millions and millions of people.

No, what should be done with Abbot is give him a gun and the job of protecting some school personally (as a guard there). I guarantee you that before too long, he would be doing things differently.

Not before all the gun-grabbing liberal politicians who have their own personal armed guard details does it 1st.
 

Some random Texan shit kicker in the video said something like Beto's a "sick sonofabitch to come here and make this a political issue."

Got news for you, shit kicker: when 19 kids get gunned down in a school, it's not an 'act of gaawwwwd' so you can bet your ass it's gonna be a ****ing political issue.

Try not to be triggered, conservatard.

Then everybody should attack elections? That'll show 'em.

And on cue you shriek TRUMP and take the final shit on your credibility.

There is a clear agenda that will solve this problem.

THE BIDEN PLAN TO END OUR GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC

Everything in this plan is doable. Nothing big, just small changes.

This agenda will SOLVE the problem. The unsolvable problem is clear. The Republicans are not willing to compromise on anything!!!!!!
