Buffalo, New York,

It's funny and sad how the left says they want to protect kids, but doesn't give a damn about the 63 million children murdered by abortion providers.

Don't be fooled, the left doesn't care about children, they are solely interested in gun control.

TBH, most of the Democrats wouldn't need our guns, IF they had clean enough domestic abuse, drug abuse, and alcohol abuse records; they could possess firearms of their own! WHY, oh why, are people who can't even pass a 4473
check allowed to even VOTE on these issues, let alone mandate legislation, concerning firearms ?

Here's what we need to do, in order to SAVE THE CHILDREN:

PROTECT THEM, as we do, with any other valuable item. Would you take your valuables, and place them at a desk,
IN AN UNLOCKED, UNGUARDED BUILDING over 200 days a year, AND ADVERTISE THEIR LOCATION? THAT's
what we are doing with our children, when we send them to school.

Want to "Protect Our Kids"? Then have armed guards at the school, just like the GOVERNMENT'S and ELITE's children do...

...OR, how about hiring some Police who have BALLS, and aren't CRAVEN COWARDS. IF the COPS had done their
jobs and actually EARNED THEIR PAY, the death toll would have been reduced 75%.

Confiscating MY gun rights HAS NOTHING TO DO with protecting our children. It does, however have a lot to do with
having the sense to properly secure boundaries, and Law Enforcement properly performing their DUTY.

Alas...you are totally correct!

I'm calling BS on Red Flag Laws. This is a VERY transparent money grab, in order to create LE revenue streams.

IF Red Flag laws worked, we would be disarming all the gang members, and known criminals, with the Red Flag
Laws we already have, correct?

ERGO, WHY haven't Chicago and New York disarmed all their inner city gang members, using "Red Flag " Laws???

 

[Caveman Jim]

After 9-11, they didn’t ban planes they secured the cockpits of planes. Now if these cretins really wanted to project that they cared about kids at all they would secure the schools. What a bunch of hypocrites they are!!!

Ten Republican senators appear ready to answer pleas from anguished relatives of recent mass shootings to "do something" by defying their own party's dogma on gun reforms.

The group struck a deal with Democrats on Sunday that could lead to more spending on mental health care, school security, extra scrutiny of young gun buyers and incentives to states to temporarily confiscate weapons from those deemed a threat.

The biggest question now is whether the 10 Republicans will stand firm and help push the measure through the Senate despite what are likely to be delaying and obstruction tactics by their colleagues.
There are two weeks until the next congressional recess. If a bill doesn't pass before then, there is a real risk that GOP senators returning home will come under extreme pressure to walk back their support for the package.

The group includes
Sens. Cornyn,
Thom Tillis and Richard Burr of North Carolina,
Roy Blunt of Missouri,
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana,
Susan Collins of Maine,
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina,
Rob Portman of Ohio,
Mitt Romney of Utah
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
Of the 10, Burr, Blunt, Portman and Toomey are not seeking reelection in 2022 so are somewhat shielded from a direct backlash by conservative anti-gun reform advocates.
Cassidy, Tillis, Graham, Cornyn and Collins have meanwhile just been reelected so don't have to worry about primaries until 2026.
Analysis: Senate compromise on guns is a real breakthrough -- yet a tenuous and modest step

Top Senate negotiators Tuesday agreed to the details of a much-anticipated gun bill and released its text as they seek to take action in the wake of recent mass shootings.

A group including
Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas,
Chris Murphy, D-Conn.,
Thom Tillis, R-N.C.,
Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz.,
completed work on the text of a bill Tuesday, Cornyn said on the Senate floor. The senators' offices released it shortly thereafter.

"Today, we finalized bipartisan, commonsense legislation
to protect America’s children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence across our country,"
they said in a statement.
"Our legislation will save lives and will not infringe on any law-abiding American’s Second Amendment rights.
We look forward to earning broad, bipartisan support and passing our commonsense legislation into law."


The bill immediately garnered further bipartisan support.

"I support the bill text that Senator Cornyn and our colleagues have produced,"
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said. "For years, the far left falsely claimed that Congress could only address the terrible issue of mass murders by trampling on law-abiding Americans’ constitutional rights. This bill proves that false."

McConnell added: "Our colleagues have put together a commonsense package of popular steps that will help make these horrifying incidents less likely while fully upholding the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens."

"This bipartisan gun-safety legislation is progress and will save lives. While it is not everything we want, this legislation is urgently needed,"
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. "I will now put this life-saving legislation on the Senate floor for a vote, with an initial procedural vote as soon as tonight and, following that, we will move to final passage as quickly as possible."

Senators are trying to clear a gun control bill through their chamber before the July 4 recess, in the wake of several recent mass shootings in Texas, New York and elsewhere.

Why don't they just call this "law" what it really is?
