In any event, the basement dwellers are working on surefire "Fix Broken Homes" legislation that will get overwhelming bipartisan support and will no doubt be far more effective than SLIGHTLY less ambitious stuff like, "background checks."
Thank god for that.
Gun violence is only one of dozens of problems caused by broken homes.
You're trying to treat a cancer patient's headache and preening about with your nose in the air as if you're a good person.
Alleviating symptoms while doing nothing to treat the actual problem is pointless.
Most mass shooters would pass the background check. The ones that wouldn't would just get the guns somewhere else.
“Alleviating symptoms while doing nothing to treat the actual problem is pointless.”
In this analogy, does symptoms mean dead kids? Should you not give pain meds to someone with a headache because they have cancer?

No, it's not pointless to do marginal things that could make marginal improvements. Regarding broken homes:
1) Is there are critical mass of experts and/or legislators who agree that "broken homes" contribute to gun violence? Maybe. I don't know. In any event, this is the first hurdle to get over.
2) Let's assume one gets over #1. Some problems are not complex, but STILL very hard to get effective legislation to address. "Fixing broken homes" is no doubt HUGELY, HUGELY complex. For a similar magnitude of (and related) challenge, see "Poverty" and "The War on Poverty." How's that turning out? A good supposed conservative like you should be awfully receptive to that point.
So, yeah, if and when one chooses to endeavor to get over the 2 freakin' Everest's above, it behooves one to ALSO in the meantime do some more marginal things (background checks, perhaps age restrictions, magazine capacity, bump stocks [already made illegal?], etc.).
Because guess what? As implied above, you ain't gonna fix "broken homes" ANYTIME soon......
I mean, we can't convince tens of millions of people in this country that having a malevolent autocrat wanna-be as president is a bad thing. Or that evil scientists and doctors and public officials weren't simply out to get them with COVID mitigations. Suppose we stand much of a chance of convincing lots of people to establish and maintain loving spousal relationships and raise their children well?
It's interesting how you Trumpers LOVE when the dreaded MSM criticizes Biden. But NEVER apparently ask yourself, "Did I ever see a FoxNews headline that screamed, 'Trump tried to steal the election!' ???"
I mean, MAYBE that happened? I kinda doubt it. If I'm correct, a thoughtful person would say, "Gee, maybe there IS a difference between moderate liberal media bias in the MSM and MASSIVE media bias at places like Fox, Newsmax, OAN, etc.?"

Sure, go ahead and try. Good luck.
We should totally make murder or shooting someone with a gun illegal.
That will solve the problem.

I can’t believe there are “conservatives” like you that are so incredibly stupid. Maybe you should become a liberal 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂😂
Stupid comment. The whole "grooming" thing is GOP fear nonsense.
Biden is not responsible for high gas prices. Gas is expensive worldwide. Gas is expensive due to the war in Ukraine and the GLOBAL high inflation caused by pent-up consumer demand due to COVID...AND some huge profit taking by oil companies while they can justify it.
We voted AGAINST Trump, and we'll do it again if in some way Trump is the GOP nominee again.
What YOU are experiencing is the payback for voting in Trump as President. We (Democrats and other sane Americans) picked the most vanilla candidate we could so that we had the best chance to beat Trump. Mission accomplished.
Trump was voted in by a minority of people in 2016. He lost the popular vote again in 2020. He's a loser. He will never win another election.
Gas was $2.53 when Biden took office and has been going up steadily since. To blame on Russian invasion is idiotic. And don't blame the extreme inflation on "pent-up demand." Inflation was always under 2% with Trump. Now it is 8.53%. Biden is ruining the country (maybe he has already ruined it).
Sally, you are an idiot.
What policies has Biden employed that has caused high inflation? This was ALL predicted when the pandemic started. Pent-up demand has caused the inflation. What policies has Biden employed that caused high gas prices? What did he do that has caused GLOBAL gas prices to go up? We had low gas prices when Biden took office because we were coming out of the Trump recession. You want really low gas prices again, hope for a recession.
And the stupid libs are still blaming Putin for this. Nope, it's Brandon's fault.
"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f**k things up"- Obama
You say it's Biden's fault and then give no reasons why (and don't say the XL Pipeline extension, because that's not it and wasn't even squashed by Biden).
1) Pent-up demand for goods and services due to the pandemic.
2) Supply chain issues caused by the pandemic, mostly because there just aren't enough workers for the available jobs.
3) Unjust war in Ukraine. Of COURSE this is a major reason for the spike in gas prices.
4) Oil companies taking advantage of the situation and trying to make as much as they can.
What Biden policies have led to the inflation including the higher gas prices? Let's hear it, dumb*ss. Just know that I am smarter than you and more educated on this subject, so you'd better be right if you list anything or I will fart in your general direction a second time.

The SF Fed estimated the last stimulus bill contributed 3 percentage points to inflation. In fact boosting inflation was part of the reason for these bills (except the first two before Biden were actually done when inflation was too low).
Leftists are equating jobs that were gone during the pandemic and are coming back now, are new jobs. They are not. Plus they do not understand the cost of living is so much higher now, and most people feel that pain, and that is the most important issue.
People like Baghdad agip, live in fantasy land.
You are such a dumb*ss. Jobs either exist or they don't. There is not a measure that counts NEW jobs that never existed before. Trump is the first president since Hoover to leave office with fewer Americans employed than when he started his term. Fact.
I don't even give Biden credit for those jobs coming back...but they did, and they did so to the tune of 6.6 MILLION jobs in his first year. Just the normal swing following a recession and the pandemic that was causing havoc before vaccines were available.
Yes there is high inflation. This was predicted to happen by financial experts before Biden was even elected. SUPER easy to see how it was to happen. The war in Ukraine only threw fuel on the fire.

You mean the $1.9 trillion stimulus package signed by Biden or the $2 trillion stimulus package signed by Trump in spring 2020?
Most economists say the stimulus bills were absolutely necessary to keep our economy from falling off a cliff.
Economists still say the main reasons for inflation including gas prices...remember, this is worldwide, not just here in the US (England has a 9% rise in the Consumer Price Index, the highest since they started recording that in 1989; is that Biden's fault?), is:
1) Pent-up demand for goods and services caused by the pandemic.
2) Supply chain issues caused by the pandemic which has caused a worker shortage.
3) War in Ukraine.
People with money like me are part of the reason. I bought a car in fall 2021 at MSRP (well, a paltry $200 under) because they were not offering deals on cars due to the chip shortage), and I am taking multiple trips this year, caring not about the cost of travel, food, or hotel rooms.
Now you know why I call you m'agas seditionists. You would like to end democracy in America and you used violence in in an attempt to overthrow a lawful election. The veep had to plea to the secret service for protection from you.
Today:
WASHINGTON—Enrique Tarrio, a former leader of the Proud Boys, and four other onetime members of the far-right group have been indicted on seditious conspiracy charges in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, marking an escalation in the Justice Department’s riot probe.

I'm talking about the one signed by Biden when the economy was already overheating, the vaccine was already out, and when liberals were sharing Paul Krugman's op ed that inflation was a Republican myth. Most economists do NOT believe that was necessary, even Biden's own treasury secretary recently threw it under the bus.

You know so little to be commenting so much.
No matter whose fault it is, the electorate is hurting badly from the inflation. In such situations, the time honored response is to vote out the party in charge. I believe Gary will be very happy come November.
