Senator Warnock calls for a fresh “serious bipartisan conversation” about compromise gun safety legislation after the Apalachee shootings.

For the victims of the Apalachee shootings
For Senator Warnock:

1. God! Just cover all school windows with steel plates...

Kids don't need to see outside as much as gun owners need to feel safe from roving gangs of im'grants.

[brer cat]

2. Spot on, Senator Warnock! Push them until something is worked out.

[surfered]

3. The military doesn't think so, until they're 18 and..

..the weapons are locked up unless you are in a combat zone, on guard duty, or going to the range.

[Silent Type]

6. Exactly. Even the military doesn't trust their own troops on US bases. Yet just about any incel

can walk around with a pistol or even a rifle on city streets.

[Squaredeal]

4. We've already made our public schools prisons.

By locking the students up all day, to keep them safe.

5. No civilian under 21 should own a gun.

The frontal lobe, the brain's judgement center, is not fully developed until mid 20's.

[Warpy]

7. That's exactly what the gun humping wingnuts want to do

Build schools, grocery stores, churches, theaters, and anywhere else people gather wiith thick walls, razor wire, and armed guards so people will feel safe going to them.

Yeah, right.

I'd rather get rid of semiauto guns, starting with those useless rifles. It's cheaper.

8. it's to satisfy the republican bloodlust and cruelty

[BOSSHOG]

9. That's what the party of law and order wants. Praise Jesus. Said the pro life hypocrites.

[AllyCat]

10. When I talk to teenagers about this, they say

“I don’t want my school to be a prison”.

[jujubeets]

11. That is not going to play well in GA

Warnock was basically handed that seat and now he's going to hand it back to them. Good grief. At least we won't lose Ossof.

[Skittles]

12. gun humping cowards are a dime a dozen in Georgia

yes indeed

[DemInBuckhead]

13. You do realize he has the seat until 2028.

Right? Right?

And also that Georgia has a bunch of people in its big and moderately-sized cities who agree with Warnock.

I guess I don't understand why Warnock having a position that having restrictions on 14-year-olds having AR-15s is so controversial.

[cliffside]

15. Hard to believe that voters want their kids scared ... or scarred from the trauma or even dead ...

good grief indeed!

[ramapo]

14. Not to be cynical but...

There is zero chance that there is any change.
