ok. obama had a fillibuster proof
majority of democrats in the senate at the start of his first term. And they did nothing.
if the democrat controlled senate wanted itbafly enough, they’d propose it.
look i think we need to do something, though i’ve yet to see a proposal that would likely make a dent. but neither side wants to do anything. The democrats cannot have more control
than they had in 2009. what did they do? zip.
democrats refuse to talk about the vast majority of shooting victims who are killed by handguns in garden variety urban violence. republicans refuse to talk about how to reduce the headline-catching, yet much smaller problem of mass shootings.
we elect jerks on both sides. So nothing gets done.
