I am so saddened the mentally ill are pawns in this debate

Hopefully the truly mentality ill won't be in a state to comprehend what viscousness this scapegoating is.
People are cruel.

Ban the weapons.

3 clip magazines max

If you can't drop your game in 3 then you aren't a hunter.

Ban weapons of war and then regulate the shit out of very limited capacity handguns and hunting rifles.
No "grandfather clause". They must be turned in or face severe penalties.

This isn't rocket science folks.

My starting point is where I'd start in the discussion

Legitimate hunters should want these solutions to protect their sport. Otherwise the backlash coming could be a lot worse.

Billy Graham regarding Vietnam

In a 13-page letter, that Rev. Graham had forwarded to the White House in April, 1969, it was stated: “There are tens of thousands of North Vietnamese defectors to bomb and invade the North. Why should all the fighting be in the South?…Especially let them bomb the dikes which could over night destroy the economy of North Vietnam.” Mr. Bothwell underscored that such a military action against the dikes, a huge complex of earthworks, would probably “kill a million people and wipe out an already poor nation’s agricultural system” He added that the advice in Graham’s transmittal “fell on receptive ears. Not longer after, Nixon moved the air war north and west.”

He did. Obama put sanctions on Russia and you reserved them.

He took away their compound in Maryland and you gave it back.

He put sanctions on Russia and you refuse to implement the new sanctions that were unanimously passed by Congress.

With all due respect, f*ck you, Donald. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/965676314576543744

How many years have Democrats controlled both houses?

Let's say since the Bill Clinton era.
And in those years how many did we have a 60 vote majority in the Senate?

Anyone have a chart? Link?
