His kids are homeschooled – why would anyone think he’d give us a fuck about anyone else?

Strictly, they don’t want to fix it, what they want are the NRA donations.

If only there were some way, something we could do, but it’s the same everywhere right? What can you do?

Resignation, or statement of intention?

he’s a member of the “we’ve tried absolutely nothing, and we’re all out of ideas” party, so intention.

not a single one of them will vote for an assault weapon ban, and a ban would clearly help.

You know what he is? He’s a traitor. He’s acknowledging that there is a problem that’s costing Americans their lives and he’s refusing to even attempt to do anything about it. He was elected to Congress to do something about problems. He is refusing to do his job, and it’s costing Americans their lives. He’s a traitor.

There’s something absolutely infuriating about feigning an exhausted, defeatist attitude towards a problem that he’s not only made no effort towards solving, but has actively fought against other people’s efforts to solve. The sheer audacity and entitlement of these fuckers makes my blood boil.

That reminds me of a MAD Magazine comic I can’t find but a kid is being put in a cell by a cop who says, “A night in jail will teach you a lesson!” And the kid replies, “Yeah, if I want to learn to be a criminal.”

Even in my youth I knew “lock 'em all up” was both unfeasible and counterproductive.
