So - Republicans will do NOTHING? Again. Then paste ... [View all]

… that sick shit all over them. Pass a SIMPLE, stand alone background check bill in the house. Today. No riders or amendments. And no over-reach. It CAN’t have any other shit in it!!! Straight up and straight forward background check law. Bring it up for a vote in the Senate and let them vote against it.

Then pass one requiring a strict permit requirement for the purchase or possession of high capacity magazines. Call ‘em “school children slaughtering magazines”. Call the bill the “school children protection from bullets’ bill.

Then one that imposes stiff penalties on gun sellers who sell guns to people with known mental illness.

Then one that makes the minimum age 21.

Etc., etc.

Simple, stand alone bills that 70%+ Americans agree with. The key here is to keep our own wish list stuff out of these bills. Don’t give them reasons to oppose them, or ammo for FO࿖ News to spin.

And the paint the assholes with their no votes.
