Rep. Swalwell Says That On Gun Legislation ‘Senate Needs To Reflect Where The American People Are’

48 comments

  1. The Senate is not going to reflect where the American people are. The Republicans will oppose anything from the Dems just on ‘principle’.

    1. @Marilyn Emanuelson The Dems put forwartd over three hundred bills debated and passed in the Senate. McConnell held back every one of them. One was entitled Election Security.

  2. Thoughts and prayers aren’t working. Something needs to be done. The Senate is likely to shoot down any gun restrictions. I haven’t seen anything from either side addressing the real issue, mental health. Ever seen a PSA from the NRA addressing mental health issues and giving these potential murderers any options to get help? Nope. See you tomorrow for more thoughts and prayers!

  3. Most of the rest of civilised, developed countries don’t have their population running around with guns! Catch up!

    1. @Joel Rivard thats why folks flee those shitholes and come here where they can shoot any oppressors

    2. So why lie from Canada to Norway to Australia every country has guns and that’s not counting Syria or Mexico cartels or Somali so keep lying

  4. The USA is pretty far gone at this point. There are more guns in our country than people. At this point, we’re shutting the barn door after the horse has escaped. But we MUST work to enforce sane gun regulation and comprehensive background checks to save our country.

    1. In Australia, gun laws were changed drastically after a mass shooting. Australians wanted this and the government saw that.
      In the US Americans want better gun control and politicians know it. The government won’t react to the will of the people.

  5. And the head of the NRA LaPierre? Hiding out on a yacht for protection. I guess he doesn’t believe that guns work either 🤣

    1. @Scott Graham Yes,but if background checks don’t work one the Presidents son,how would they work on lesser ppl? Wait,He’s a Biden,there are no lesser ppl.

  6. America is moving on, past the GOP, because they’re stuck in the 60’s and 70’s where that kind of thinking doesn’t work anymore. They’re going to destroy themselves. Let’s just wait and watch it happen. It should be entertaining.

    1. @David Eby oh yeah all “dems” stormed the capital?? NOT!! ORANGE-HEAD DID N HIS CROONIES ACQUITTED HIM, NEVER 4GET!! JS….AHOLE

  7. Yeah, trying to get the GOP to ANYTHING is exactly like Talking to a BRICK WALL… No Action and NO Response…. They are USELESS…

  8. As long as the cartoon villain Republicans are involved and the NRA raking in cash they will never want gun safety or laws.

  9. Maybe a different approach because some people are going to oppose everything just to be contrary.

  10. This country should have a national day of prayer. To date Washington DC has been in a stalemate with taking action but prayer can change things

    1. @CShield Glad to hear to that you recognize our freedom of religion and I would be unable to give anyone any opinion other than mine
