Stop calling it “the gun lobby.”It’s the gun INDUSTRY. And call them by their names: Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Remington, Ruger, Mossberg, etc. They are the power and money behind the NRA. And the purpose of NRA is PROFIT for these companies — not their members. --Tristan Snell

Mass shooting after mass shouting, massacre after massacre, our political elites produce grand speeches but nothing more, the grand priests of human rights cannot provide the basic right to life in security for their own children! Shameless hypocrites !

How long are you Democrats going to keep failures like Schumer and Pelosi as party leaders?

The Pentagon, CIA, and every weapons manufacturer is "the gun lobby." You are their faithful servant and mouthpiece, Joe--you can't give them enough money, you're always looking for more to give away. That's *our* money, our labor, our lives, you're squandering. Bang bang.

Has he forgotten who he is? Rhetorical questions coming from the most powerful are frankly insulting at this time, unless followed through on. Force a vote. Name and shame all legislators who can't bring themselves to protect innocent lives, so we can make informed decisions ffs

Apparently never! Useless politicians have blood on their hands. And by useless politicians, I mean ALL politicians.

Mofo's been in Washington since the 70's and everything has gotten progressively worse since. And he has been nothing but part of the problem. So his empty call to "god" today, in 2021, when he's had 50 years to fix problems, is amusing.

Never. We’re gonna rinse, lather, repeat, and do nothing. Just like we’ve always done. It’s the only bipartisan solution. More dead kids so the Republicans get that sweet sweet cheddar, and the Democrats have palpable fear to campaign on. Bipartisanship, that’s what counts.

Can someone pls remind him he's POTUS & has it within his power to do something right now by declaring a nat'l emergency. No congress needed. While it will be a temporary & largely symbolic gesture, it would be by far the biggest stance taken against this madness in a generation.
