    It's too late to be embarrassed ! Trump did that for everyone
  • Has anyone noticed that we can't even see a scratch on Trumps' ear? Just wondering.
  • @Spiral.Dynamics
    That marked the turning point for me. If we can’t get laws passed after what happened at Sandy Hook, I gave up hope to end the violence.
  • Notice that Republicans never mention how he got the gun,and went and got the bullets but never flag,,,yes secret service fail that day,,,how come they are n9t asking that question

    Speaker Johnson needs to be investigated for his role in " J an 6th. "
  • If YT handed out thousands of 24 hour time outs BEFORE the incident of a few weeks ago, it might not have happened.

    Gun control prevents law-abiding citizens defending themselves against the criminals. As proven recently depending on the government is as foolish as you can get.
  • There is to much money flowing into political pockets to change guns in America and that is more important than some kids. What would change things, eventually, would be mandatory military service in the U.S. so we have mature citizens that know what is important to protect. Remove the loopholes that let the wealthy evade service, and you can't hold public office if you haven't served.

    Serious question: When has a gun law ever kept the father in the home to raise his children?

    Firearms did not make an attempt on Trump's life. It was a man that was radicalize by the main stream media. Firearms access is the issue we have in this nation, it is individuals.
  • Cacklebox Kamala will do what she has always been doing, and the time for her to do that is every day.
  • “[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man – who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia.” George Mason

    "26 kindergarteners" because he doesn't actually know their names.
