Guess who received over $800,000 from NRA? 2nd highest amount contributed to Congress member, French Hill received over $1 million.
Buck also received over $40,000 from other committees funded by gun lobbyists.
Ban lobbying. Sooooo many problems solved, and that many less to deal with.
You know what didn’t receive any money? The constitution
@Stretch sounds good. No lobbying against things you disagree with too.
The most dangerous person you’re interviewing he’s shouldn’t be allowed to have any guns
And Joe shouldn’t be allowed ice cream
Buck didn’t say a word about his gun toting video. LOL
Republican playbook: deflect
what aboutism
border
guns don’t kill, people do
mental health issues – but then they don’t want to fund mental health
@Doogie Bear
Trump lost
Dry your tears
@axil03 So did all the school children when you voted for Joe
HE PIVOTED ON THE QUESTION.”Well, uh , if Biden wants to help he should address our open borders with the drugs coming in”WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE QUESTION?
@Love2healU yeh….. no. Citizens do not need them. Military does.
@Timothy Kozlowski And it STILL is not the question. That has been happening for DECADES.
@Kris Wingert No kidding, and I support common sense gun control. People need to understand that an assault weapons ban wouldn’t have stopped that shooter from killing anyone yesterday because she just would’ve used handguns.
Absolutely nothing. He was diverting attention away from the subject that he himself couldn’t handle. It’s standard operating procedure for Republicans.
Next time he does that, yank him back to the original question. MAKE him answer.
@Love2healU ur a bad shot anyways slick
Please legalize personal tank possession too. Those traffic jams are driving us crazy with all these cars coming from the southern border.
*THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS GET THE SUSPECTS PRONOUNS WRONG. SHOW SOME RESPECT.*
@cookie Cola I identify as an attack helicopter
Exactly. Why should responsible tank owners have to suffer?
@Rene Jean because just as you have a current license to drive. You need to be registered to cause maximum destruction next time you loose your marbles and drive thru San Diego
Why shouldn’t I be able to stockpile nuclear weapons?
This went from asking about how to solve the gun issue to talking how the border is not controlled…. What?
What about ice cream? Joe wants his ice cream
It’s called Deflection. Take the attention away from the question the Republican doesn’t want to answer by placing it on another question–one that’s totally unrelated to the original question.
Next time he does this, force him to answer the original question.
This is my “representative.” A few years back, he held a 1 hour long “veterans events” townhall with 2 days of notice. I was working out of state at the time and took time off my job, bought a plane ticket, flew halfway across the country to attend. After showing up 15 minutes late, circle jerking us with the gop’s “accomplishments” of tax cuts for rich people while simultaneously complaining about not having enough money to fund veterans programs, he took questions. The obvious question of how cutting taxes would help fund veterans programs came up. He swore tax cuts would pay for themselves. When he pivoted to Obamacare, I called out his outright lie (I am a healthcare revenue cycle analyst with more experience and education than I care to type out on the matter). His response was to threaten to have the police officer in the room arrest me. I am a 100% disabled veteran.
Ken buck can go straight to whatever hell he believes in as far as I’m concerned.
I thank you sir for your service! I hope your District votes this despicable man out!
The process our veterans must and force to do in order to get a ridiculously low income to survive of its appalling and straight up despicable. Just the thought alone that you have to even ask for something you earned with heroism and an enormous courage and impeccable strength and honor is beyond me. But to slap war veterans who signed their contract to this country with their actual life and blood with the embarrassingly low amount is something I cannot comprehend. And I’m so so sorry how veterans is being treated with so much ungratefulness and how they are being used as a weapon for political gain and greed. Our veterans deserves nothing short of the Very Best treatment because that’s exactly what veterans fought with for all of us. Veterans gives their very best performance because that the only way they know how to and they honor their oaths for a lifetime. Thank you for your service. Thank you for my freedom and the freedom of my family and loved ones. I salute you all. 🫡 🙏
Good on you bro.
All townhall events are recorded. Can I watch this somewhere?
Friendly old Brit: The right to bear arms has become bastardised over the years to suit the ongoing events. As a neutral I see the need for a “well regulated militia” when 2A was introduced. Those states now have police forces, national guards and a military so the basic premise is now obsolete. Repealing 2A and having the guts to ban all firearms may be unpopular but once a better regulating system is introduced people must surely see the wisdom of a controlled firearm society.
His heart goes out ……..he doesn’t have a heart . Guns before children is what he is saying !
So much for the pro life party. It only counts for the unborn, but you are out of the womb all bets are off.
I can’t believe he blamed a school shooting on drug trafficking on the border
@Stacey Cramer No, he wasn’t, but nice try!
Of course he did.
I thought Hunter would be the go-to on this one!😂
@Stacey Cramer How do they inject infrared light? Just asking
Anything except address the problem, the GOP cares more about gun money than they do about lives.
And Joe cares more about chocolate chip ice cream then he does about our children
@Doogie Bear stop with your ice cream already. How about some pudding or gelato?
Mental Health ✔️
Southern Border ✔️
“My heart goes out…” ✔️
Chicago ✔️
He followed the playbook 🙄
And ice cream! Don’t forget the ice cream
Also the laptop dont forgot the laptop from hell
@Doogie Bear
Trump lost
Sober up
Blame Biden ✔️
“AR-15’s are not a danger to anybody.” Tell that to all the victims of mass murders.
dont know i watch BBC its not a left or right news network , i just pop in time to time on fox and cnn to read the dvivded comments that those networks caused
Hand grenades and RPGs aren’t a danger to anybody either. Why aren’t they legal??
Majority of mass shootings don’t use rifles. Most use handguns.
Clearly this is a flat-out LIE.
A masterclass on how to not answer a single question asked by a journalist and to show no responsibility to help address it.
I am afraid the inadequacy of the reporter is at fault here – utterly useless! Ask a question and then if he does not answer ask again & again & again…
Dancing around the question is equivalent to admitting guilt for valuing ownership of military grade weaponry over the lives and security of children who are now being slaughtered REGULARLY by such weapons.
The thoughts and prayers of those who facilitate this ongoing slaughter has as much validity and value as a three dollar bill, sketched on notepad paper, with crayons.
They say it should be state by state but then they turn around and run to the supreme court to override states laws because they think they are too restrictive.
He’s talking out of both sides of his mouth. Republicans, especially QAnon/MAGA republicans, always do it.
Only in the US of A are NBA players held to a higher standard than politicians! 🤷
He has no answers, only deflection 😢
So like the entire Biden cabinet?????
GOP stooge
He’s a Republican. That’s all he can do.
“To know and not know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies.”

The larger and true ‘mental health issue’ here is American society’s love of guns and prioritizing them over the lives of our children.
