Gun control it about limiting access but the right only speaks in terms of BANNING weapons

Overall since 2006, firearm homicides in the U.S. have decreased, but the number of firearm suicides has increased by a similar amount.4

Even when firearm homicide rates were at their highest in the mid-1990s (just above 7/100,000 population), they were not higher than those for firearm suicide.


See Jim Guns like immigration ebb and flow thu R and D administrations

But theres one constant just like in Immigration the Rights AKA GOP unwillingness to address these issues . its all about the Vote its not about responsible approaches . for them they take the path of least resistance.. they just say No. and they blame away they blame the criminal they blame the immigrant and every election cycle its the wash rinse and repeat

The GOP and 2a people cant even accept background checks ! But they support no license no Gun registration open Carry ( the good guy with a gun argument ) all while yelling Freedom..

You can have as many guns as you want . but you should be licensed and those weapons should be registered to the owner. for accountability.. not the their fantasy of gun confiscation

you’re right, the gop only cares about votes, and democrats only care about solving problems, even if it means losing the next election. democrats would rather solve problems effectively, then win elections.

It’s so obvious. thanks for saying it.

When Biden told blacks that “republicans want to put y’all back in chains”, you’re saying that wasn’t done to get votes, but was an attempt to solve an important problem.

which problem did that attempt to solve?

when democrats say everyone who disagrees with them is racist, that’s not an attempt to get votes?

when you can’t answer the question, that means you lose.

Jim your a good sheep keep up the work


Republicans seek to portray Biden's Supreme Court pick as 'radical liberal', although he has yet to chose anyone


Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida , predicting that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would whip Democrats to back a "radical liberal with extremist views."

i’m going to try and
meet you halfway here…

Biden’s nominee is going to get confirmed, the gop
should do what they did with Kagan and Sotomator, just vote for her. That’s how conforming supreme court justices used to be

now, for the third time, why did biden say that republicans want to put blacks in chains? Since you said democrats don’t pander for votes because they’re too busy solving actual problems, please tell us what problem he was trying to solve with that remark.

Third time i asked.
