The Talking Heads Are Finally Pivoting To Say We Have To Simply Learn To Live With Gun Violence

[SoCalDavidS]

They're saying that we have to talk about Safety and minimizing the death count rather than Prevention.

The New Normal.

[Kaleva]

1. One does not preclude the other

Minimize while still striving to prevent.

There's no chance now to prevent climate change as it's already happening but there's still a chance to mitigate it.

2. Exactly n/t

[OLDMDDEM]

3. No!

This is not a new normal. Republicans have blocked restrictions since before the beginning of time. They need to be called out on this. Make it an election talking point. That, and abortion, could help the Dems win seats they never thought of winning. I can't stand to see a mass shooting happening everyday. It sickens me that we let this slide into saying we need to learn to live with this. Bullshit!

[Hugin]

4. Like global warming and pandemics...

Nothing to see here.

[FSogol]

5. Sounds like we need better talking heads. n/t

[Initech]

6. No! Fuck them! It doesn't have to be like this!

The NRA can go eat a bag of rancid dog shit.

[SoCalDavidS]

7. Someday I'll Be Reading This Optimism From Outside America

Hope springs eternal. Sorry, but at this point, it's delusional.

NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE!

[SoCalDavidS]

8. There Will Be Accountability For 1/6, Gun Laws Will Change

Bullshit!

9. mitch mcconnell talking points....mental illness and school safety...

anything to defer from their precious guns

[Bayard]

10. That's the problem

We're not living with them--we're dying by them.

[geardaddy]

11. They've got their talking points from

the NRA and the GQP. So, I'm not surprised.

[gratuitous]

12. We will pay any price, make any sacrifice, to avoid inconveniencing firearm enthusiasts

Somehow we are at a point in our society that the looniest objection by the craziest gun-toter acts as a veto on any proposal to regulate firearms. We go to incredible lengths and expense to make sure firearms and their owners are not restricted in any way. We pay the price in so many ways with so much blood.

13. How Congress would react if one of the high priced privateschools were the target of gun violence.

The wealthy would be screeming for gun control.
