GUN DEAL -if it holds, it's enough to break a filibuster

Very, very weak tea here:

Ten GOP senators sign onto a statement backing an outline of a guns deal. Text still needs to be drafted. But if it holds, it’s enough to break a filibuster

The enhanced background checks for buyers under 21 could lead to a small number of lives saved.

er, desperation in the morning. Between the POS Thug senators and the Manchin/Sinema cabal, which one or ones will burn it down?

And still 10 republicans will never vote for it.

McConnell will make a big show by not blocking debate, but then Rs will object to some of the provisions and it won't come to a final vote.

As sure as some of you are that the orange motherfucker will never be indicted, I am sure republicans won't vote for this bill and it won't pass.

But it will be a useful tool for RWers to point to as reasons why "gun control" isn't the solution. "Well, we passed gun control in 2022 like the libs wanted and it didn't do anything! So clearly we should go in the other direction instead. More guns, fewer laws, that's the ticket!"
