Seems like voters are okay with it. Who knows? Didn't really hear much from either campaign on it.The problem is that Republicans in Congress see any gun control measures as non-starters.
To an extent.
I see.
You clearly don’t understand how science works.I really don't care what you reject or accept.
I wonder what would have happened if the doctor who figured out how to use pig valves in humans had simply said "There is no evidence that it is possible so it must not be possible". That is all you're doing. You are denying even the possibility because you see no evidence for it.
it is almost impossible to believe you aren't being obtuse.You clearly don’t understand how science works.
The doctor’s conclusion is based on scientific evidence and years of rigorous research. For example, pigs’ biology is remarkably similar to humans in many ways, which is why genetically modified pigs can produce human insulin. Achieving this milestone required years of meticulous scientific study, including examining the physiology and genetics of multiple species.
As others have pointed out, when you make a statement without supporting arguments, the burden of proof lies entirely on you. Otherwise, anyone could throw out baseless claims like "Trump is a Russian agent" and demand others disprove them. But we wouldn’t do that—at least not without presenting credible evidence.
I am positive it is vastly different when a Democrat does it though, right?Actually, I think this was a great way to start the topic. The subject line promotes conversation by taking away the conservative argument that "now is not the time," which really functions as a way to dismiss conversation entirely until it's too late to do anything about gun control.
T&P functions similarly by pointing out that "thoughts and prayers" is also a cynical attempt to give the least amount of effort possible in actually fixing the situation. Symbolically, offering "T&P" is probably the only thing conservatives could do that would require less effort than "thoughts and prayers," and both are equally effective.
Thus, the topic has been framed in such a way that either forces conservatives to actually engage in how to make our country safer, or it at least keeps out the useless platitudes while the rest of us can genuinely talk about the topic.
If the headline touched a nerve, then it did its job.

Offer up T &P like a Republican, of course.When a Democrat does what?

Prayers are cheap…The usual response from the republicans
Sure, it is always somehow different when a Democrat does what a Republican does.In the context of his point, yes, it's different
Come on people, this level of dialogue is not worth engaging with.Sure, it is always somehow different when a Democrat does what a Republican does.
You like to bandy that word trolling around.Come on people, this level of dialogue is not worth engaging with.
He either doesn't understand the difference between offering thoughts & prayers and trying to take actions to improve a situation, and just offering thoughts & prayers while conspicuously not only not trying to take actions but also actively opposing actions, or he does understand the difference and is just trolling.
Neither one is worthy of your time.

Two year does not make a solid trend when looking at 40 years, and it’s way to easy to kill people in this country.Facts say the incidents of violence were lower. Are you arguing against fact now?
Thanks for the graphs proving what I say is true--school violence has increased since the 50s and 60s, but some insisted I was wrong.Two year does not make a solid trend when looking at 40 years, and it’s way to easy to kill people in this country.
2022: 48k dead. Currently trending lower..Annual Firearm Violence Data | Center for Gun Violence Solutions

Yet:
Shootings where 4 or more people shot: 3-5 mass shootings per month.
For the following chart I have no idea what criteria is being used, but it shows an up trend over 42 years.

As of September 4, there were two mass shootings in the United States in 2024.www.statista.com
Why are you working so hard to prove me right about your obtuseness?Can you please explain how someone asking a person making a claim to provide evidence for said claim is being obtuse?
There is zero equivalence between Dems and MAGAs, and it’s disingenuous to make this argument especially when looking at the Train Wreck the Cult bow downs to.I am positive it is vastly different when a Democrat does it though, right?
Oh, I forget, all you want to do is yak on about MAGA, Trump, etc. Have fun with the other members of that little circle.There is zero equivalence between Dems and MAGAs, and it’s disingenuous to make this argument especially when looking at the Train Wreck the Cult bow downs to.
