Love you, too!

-Russ

Grow the fuck up or get lost.

You first.

Cunts.

You seem desperate for CW's attention; maybe he'll give it to you in the form of that Red Card... who knows?

Who cares? :)

All PIE... ALL the time! :)

Of course, what was i thinking, yes! All comments sections on all blogs everywhere!

Russ is making a great point here.

Require makers of assault rifles to make them a solid pink color.

Yeah, and make them glow in the dark too.

Make any alterations to the gun’s color a felony with massive fines.

Punishable by execution by your own altered weapon.

I like the way you think, Russ.

Love you, Russ! :)

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

I'm wet and shivering from a dip in the pool, but nothing a towel and a margarita won't cure. It began to rain and thunder in the distance so I got the hell out of there and ran immediately inside.

You do deserve to killed by something, anything, anyone, anytime, anywhere but not for any reason.

Violation of the rules against promoting violence on Chris's website.

I hope you all get raped in the eyeballs before you are killed.

Violation of the rules against promoting violence on Chris's website.

Have a nice day. :)

Some people would have ya'all believe that ALL killing is illegal..

So you want to get more semantical now and toss in the word "ALL" to the discussion? This is your familiar putting words in people's mouths that they never said and also an exercise in goal post moving that is easily recognizable, you know?

I am here to say, FOR THE RECORD, that sometimes killing people is a GOOD thing..

You're already on written record that you'd be a "baby killer" to protect the life of the mother... even though you denied it afterwards when it was brought up by Russ.

Love you, Russ!

Ted Bundy... It was GOOD that he was killed.. And it WASN'T illegal..

Since we're getting technical, the serial killer Ted Bundy was actually EXECUTED... but also killed, of course, because when a serial killer like Ted is convicted in a court of law for his killing, some states impose the death penalty, whereas some states do not. Ted brutally killed at least 30 human beings in the 1970s, some of them in Florida, including a 12-year-old girl for whom Ted was found guilty of killing when he went on trial in 1980 in Orlando, Florida. After exhausting all his legal appeals, Ted was (finally) executed in the electric chair by the State of Florida in 1989.

William H Gacy... It was a GOOD thing that he was killed. And it WASN'T illegal..

Might you be confusing William H. Macy, actor and NOT killer (I hope), with John Wayne Gacy? Gacy is the serial killer who killed at least 33 people in the 1970s and buried them under the crawlspace of his house. He was found guilty and sentenced to death and executed via lethal injection after sitting on death row in an Illinois prison for 14 years.

Timothy McVeigh... It was a GOOD thing that he was killed.. And it WASN'T illegal..

McVeigh was also executed via lethal injection for the deaths of multiple people. McVeigh's execution at the time was the first federal death penalty in the United States since 1963. He died at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana for the multiple deaths in the Oklahoma City Bombing.

Those with misplaced pedantism will try and say that ALL killing is illegal..

Those who know your modus operandi will easily recognize that you're attempting to move the goal posts (like you do) by putting words in another poster's mouth that they never said -- that word being the word "ALL" -- and thereby attempting to move the goal posts. Not even a good try this time.

But we Weigantians are smarter than that, eh?? :D

I believe they're definitely smarter than that and will obviously recognize your goal post moving... since it's totally transparent.

The simple fact is, gun makers are NOT liable when their product is used illegally..

It's actually NOT that simple. Since 2005, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) has provided near total immunity for gun makers and dealers from liability for crimes committed with their products. The PLCAA was passed after lawsuits by several cities attempted to hold companies liable for gun violence committed with their products.

BUT, as I explained already, the PLCAA contains several provisions that allow a gun manufacturing company to be sued, including for claims that they've knowingly violated laws that are related to the marketing of their product related to a shooting. I can keep explaining this if need be.

In 2019, the Supreme Court of the State of Connecticut found that the PLCAA permitted a lawsuit by some of the families of the victims of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Again, the families are suing Remington for violating the state's marketing law by allegedly promoting their Bushmaster rifle for criminal use. Fast forward to now, and Remington (which twice filed for bankruptcy during the case), in February 2022 has agreed to pay the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary killing $73 million, the first settlement of its kind.

Following the Connecticut Supreme Court ruling, other cases were launched that are working their way through the courts now since there are exemptions in PLCAA wherein gun manufacturers can be held liable for the harm caused by their products.

Victims of a 2019 mass shooting at a California synagogue sued Smith & Wesson, saying the company negligently marketed the AR-15 style rife used by the shooter. In 2021, a California judge rejected Smith & Wesson's argument that the lawsuit was barred under PLCAA. Stay tuned.

In 2022, the Supreme Court of the State of Texas ruled that an online seller of ammunition -- Luckygunner -- was NOT protected by the PLCAA from a lawsuit on behalf of victims of the 2018 shooting at a Santa Fe, Texas, high school. The company is being accused of knowingly violating a law that makes it illegal to sell ammunition to minors.

In 2021, Mexico sued Smith & Wesson Brands Inc., Sturm, Ruger & Co., and other firearm makers for the flood of weapons across the border from the United States. The lawsuit alleges the companies designed, marketed and distributed military-style assault weapons in ways they knew would arm drug cartels. Stay tuned.

The governor of New York has recently signed into law a measure that allows firearm sellers, manufacturers and distributors to be sued by the state, cities or individuals for creating a public nuisance. A U.S. judge recently ruled against the firearms industry which sued to block the law. Stay tuned.

Very recently, State of California senators have approved a bill just hours after the Texas shooting in Uvalde that would allow private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, transports, imports, or sells assault weapons and untraceable ghost guns. That bill, which is supported by Governor Gavin Newsom, is styled on a the Texas anti-abortion "vigilante" law that is meant to skirt conflicting federal law, and that bill will now be considered by the the California state assembly. Stay tuned.

Just like car makers are NOT liable when THEIR product is used illegally..

Cite any law that proves your statement. I'll wait.

In the meantime, keep in mind that car manufacturers are responsible for the financial consequences of their defective products so if a person was injured/killed in a car accident where a motor vehicle operator was found to have illegally been driving drunk and killed another motorist, the car manufacturer could be held responsible if the victim was harmed/killed due to the fact their faulty airbag or seatbelt failed. It's not uncommon to see car manufacturers sued for collisions by drunk drivers who commit crimes in their vehicles.

This is fact..

Nope. :)

Is this meant to be a rhetorical question or are you simply wanting the credit that you think you deserve? I’m fairly certain it would be unanimous that you are the correct answer to the question.

We recognized years ago that toy makers that made realistic toy guns were putting out a product that led to many children being shot and killed by those that thought the toys were the actual firearms. We then required toy makers to make their realistic toy guns out of brightly colored plastics — bright orange or bright red — so they would more easily be recognized as being toys. The brightly colored toy guns are more recognizable as toys, and they also were found to be less desirable to kids who did not think they looked “as cool or as tough” as the real things.

Sadly, kids learned that a black Sharpie could be used to paint their toys to look more like the real thing. The penalties for doing so are little more than a slap on the wrist. If being brightly colored made the toy gun less attractive to young buyers, maybe we should see if adults are just as turned off by brightly colored firearms.

Require makers of assault rifles to make them a solid pink color. Make any alterations to the gun’s color a felony with massive fines. According to Michale’s logic, if the guns aren’t so scary looking, then gun lovers won’t have to worry about Democrats going after them. We cannot ban the guns, but we can take advantage of the fragility of the male egos of those that are drawn to such weapons to make them less attractive.

See ya'all bright and early...

Same bat time... Same bat channel... :D

Mass shootings would be lessened..

Once again, you try your semantical jousting.. But it just serves to show how ill conceived your argument is..

The semantical jousting is all yours.

Ted Bundy et al MURDERED people..

Murdered people are also killed people... no matter how many times you wish to pretend as if there is some kind of semantical difference.

Your insistence that killing isn't illegal is semantical nonsense; killers can definitely be murderers.

Killing people is not illegal... This is fact....

Killing people is not necessarily illegal if there are mitigating circumstances. Your general statement that "killing is not illegal" is false.

But, by all means, continue to miss the mark.. :D It gives me more reasons to post comments.. :D

Post all you want; knock yourself out. You certainly don't need anyone's help in the posting BS department.

Once again, you try your semantical jousting.. But it just serves to show how ill conceived your argument is..

Since you're claiming that "killing" isn't illegal, the semantical jousting is all yours. :)

Killing people is not illegal... This is fact....

You can keep posting that; there will be no magic number of times you post it that will magically make it be a factual statement.

If not a fork, what then? A spoon? I'm quite sure any reasonable utensil would make the same or similar political impact.

The ONLY rational approach is to ban PIE...

Pie serves NO USEFUL purpose..

Like Biden and Biden's Handlers... Pie is a Dunsel...

If not a fork, what then? A spoon? I'm quite sure any reasonable utensil would make the same or similar political impact.

Killing people is not illegal... This is fact....

It is irrelevant as to what the afore mentioned items are DESIGNED to do...

Relevancy is always relevant when you're making a comparison of one thing to other thing(s).

Yes, guns are DESIGNED to kill people..

Are you going to falsely claim (again) that murdered people aren't killed people?

Yet killing people is not illegal..

I would wager that Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Dennis Rader, Jeffrey Dahmer, et alia would agree with you, and they killed lots of people.

I am living proof of that...

Everything (still) isn't about you.

The point is, if an item is used ILLEGALLY it is the person who illegally uses the item that is legally liable.

I don't think Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Dennis Rader, Jeffrey Dahmer, et alia would agree with you because they killed lots of people.

NOT the manufacturer of the item is NOT LEGALLY LIABLE for the illegal use of said item..

Incorrect. It is a FACT that manufacturers of all manner of items are held liable if their products are found to cause injury and/or death. Sellers of guns used to kill others have also been held liable.

Is WILSON liable if someone illegally uses a WILSON BAT to murder another person?? Of course not..

They actually could be held liable for that, yes, if someone could actually prove they negligently marketed and sold the bat as a killing weapon or that a manufacturing defect in the bat helped to negligently cause someone's or multiple persons' death.

Such a claim is completely and utterly ridiculous..

You made the actual claim; I agree that it's ridiculous, though.

The same is said for those who ILLEGALLY use a gun to murder someone.. The gun manufacturer is NOT legally liable..

Because they are largely protected under the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and cannot be held liable for the use of their products in a crime. However, gun manufacturers can still be held liable for negligence, breach of contract regarding the purchase of a gun, and/or certain damages from defects in the design of a gun.

As recently as 2019, the Supreme Court allowed a lawsuit against a gun manufacturer, Remington Arms Company to be specific, to continue. The plaintiffs are a survivor and the families of 9 of the murdered victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting. It was Remington Arms Company who manufactured the semi-automatic rifle that was used in the killings at Sandy Hook, who are being sued for being partly responsible due to their marketing practices, another area where gun manufacturers can be absolutely be held liable for the murders.

ANY fool could see that..

ANY fool could also keep up with the recent Supreme Court decision allowing a manufacturer to be sued for their product in the Sandy Hook massacre.

As for that baseball bat of yours? A swing and a miss! :)

Why would ANYBODY eat a bullet when there are so many delicious forms of pie available?

Heh. I know, right!?

Pie is the greatest tool on Earth... also NOT designed specifically as a lethal weapon... but watch out for those killer cherry seeds! :)

Well, those people are just idiotic...

A GUN is no more responsible for a person's death than a fork or spoon is responsible for a person being fat..

It's the PERSON who wields the tool that is responsible..

Plain and simple...

Tortured syntax... One too many NOTS in there.. :D

Thank you Bashi... I have my moments.. :D

Bullets are infinitely more tasty than pies..

Those who bake pies should be held legally liable for the pie mayhem that ensues..

It is irrelevant as to what the afore mentioned items are DESIGNED to do...

Yes, guns are DESIGNED to kill people.. Yet killing people is not illegal.. I am living proof of that...

The point is, if an item is used ILLEGALLY it is the person who illegally uses the item that is legally liable. NOT the manufacturer of the item is NOT LEGALLY LIABLE for the illegal use of said item..

Is WILSON liable if someone illegally uses a WILSON BAT to murder another person?? Of course not..

Such a claim is completely and utterly ridiculous..

The same is said for those who ILLEGALLY use a gun to murder someone.. The gun manufacturer is NOT legally liable.. ANY fool could see that.. :D

But, hay.. Thanx for the response.. It's ALWAYS awesome to hear from you... :D Even if you are always wrong.. :D

If guns kill people...

If guns didn't "kill people," why in Hell would anybody need one for the security of either the State or the individual?

Cars kill people..

False equivalency analogy even though cars actually do kill people (every day) although not purposely built for doing it. If cars didn't kill people, there'd be absolutely no need whatsoever for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and all those federally mandated automobile manufacturing statutes and driving safety laws designed to protect yourself and others: Mandatory automobile insurance, registration, seatbelt laws, no drinking and driving, etc.

https://www.nhtsa.gov

Pencils fail exams..

Another false equivalency analogy (like cars) since pencils aren't purposely built to fail tests or to kill people.

And spoons, forks and knives make people fat..

Another false analogy (like cars and pencils). You might as well be arguing that eating a bullet out of a gun won't kill you. :)

Get edible!

That is Biden's Handlers' speech in a nutshell..

In short..

All that can be said HAS been said..

All the laws that CAN be passed have been passed..

Democrats need to get off their hysterical anti-gun kick and look at Mental Health laws.

THOSE laws have the best chance of preventing or helping to prevent crowd based mass shootings..

If yer still around..

I have a chance to get another Oculus Unit..

Are there provisions within the Oculus to play games (tennis, etc etc) with another person in a VR environment..

Nothing new was said.. Just the same old bullshit retread arguments that failed after Sandy Hook...

That is Biden's Handlers' speech in a nutshell..

A disarmed populace is a controlled populace...

In early 1930s Germany, few citizens owned, or were entitled to own firearms,[2] the Weimar Republic having strict gun control laws.[8] When the Nazi party gained power, some aspects of gun regulation were loosened, such as allowing firearm ownership for Nazi party members and the military.[5]:?672? The laws were tightened in other ways. Nazi laws systematically disarmed so-called "unreliable" persons, especially Jews while relaxing restrictions for "ordinary" German citizens.[5]:?670,?676? The policies were later expanded to include the confiscation of arms in occupied countries.[9]:?533,?536?

Sucks eh? :D

Oh I am sure you think so.. :D

You know, the nazi gun control argument has been debunked long ago...

Where is the logic??

NEVER... EVER...

Really puts it all into focus, eh??

We can also point to Native Americans re: trusting a government that disarms it's own people..

Gun Control is not about guns, it's about control.

A disarmed populace is a controllable populace..

History is replete with examples..

Since you don't LOOK at the links, you will never know, eh?? :D

I'll save you some trouble.. ALL of the links are factual and/or relevant.. :D

Biden wasn't elected because he's an outstanding orator, magnetic public speaker, etc. He was elected because he wasn't Trump.

Speaking of which, cw, you've already written about Trump's fear of pie in his face, so it's not such a leap to start to take pie seriously as a political strategy. It's simple baking and tasty food, which can save our country. Nobody has ever had the guts to try it before, but the appetite is there.

I really detest that sort of thing, just so you know.

I base that assumption on many of your linkless comments. :)

OK.. So you concede that my links DO contain facts..

Then we're good.. :D

Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (Columbine) didn't purchase their weapons, they were obtained through a 3rd party person, who purchased them illegally from unlicensed sellers.

Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook) stole his mothers guns.

Dylann Roof (Charleston) should have been prevented but an FBI examiner failed to do a thorough investigation

Omar Mateen (Orlando) legally purchased weapons because the FBI deemed he wasn't a threat at the time.

Stephen Paddock (Las Vegas) legally purchased his guns over a period of 30 years because there is no law when a person owns a lot of weapons, nor is owning a lot of weapons illegal.

Nikolas Cruz (Parkland) legally purchased his gun legally but the FBI failed to act on tips of the threats he made on social media.

Biden left out quite a few mass shootings, for example Devin Patrick Kelley, who should have been prohibited from buying guns after a 2012 conviction for assaulting his wife and breaking his stepsons' head, as well as a bad conduct discharge from the USAF. He passed an FBI background check. Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik should have also been prohibited from purchasing weapons because the FBI deemed them to have been radicalized Islamists long before they purchased their guns, but they still passed background checks. All 4 of their weapons were purchased in California.

Gun laws wouldn't have prevented ANY of the above shootings..

But Mental Health laws WOULD have...

In other words, I post more spelling and grammar errors when I don't use the preview thingy.

Facts are facts, Michale, whether found in links or anywhere else.

So, in your opinion would you say it's fair to say that the factual nature of the links is solely based on what the facts say vis a vis political agendas??

The preview thingy allows us to see our comments in another perspective and gives us time to proofread rather than just hitting the submit thingy because we just can't wait to see our comments posted.

Given the limited factor of the preview thingy, it makes proofreading HARDER as it just throws things all in a big mish-mash.. Given that, actual proof-reading is better done on the comment as it is typed, rather than relying on the mish-mash preview thingy..

The preview thingy won't catch typos.. Especially grammar based typos..

Due to it's limitations, the Preview Thingy is only good for pointing out un-closed attributes..

So, all of the links in the administration's commentaries do not equal facts??

OKaaayyyy... If that's the claim you want to stand by.. :D

Too big. Dang autocorrect.

Heh.

I love how we feel compelled to point out our own spelling mistakes when they are actually just typing errors. :)

The problem isn't autocorrect - it's that we don't always use that preview thingy and proofread our comments!

But, again, links don't equal facts.

Democrat agenda in a nutshell...

So.......

Is it POSSIBLE that it's not the links that bother you but rather the FACTS contained within those links that show Democrat malfeasance and incompetence is the real bother??

Hmmmm? Possible?? Slightly???

But if we want to impose a ZERO link policy throughout Weigantia, I will follow that policy as long is everyone else does..

Is is possible for you to post a comment without having to resort to a link??

It's always better to think for yourself, in other words.

You don't think links are facts, do you?

Hysterical Assault Vehicle laws won't prevent a Uvalde..

Mental Health laws?? THOSE will prevent or help prevent BOTH....

The answer here is a no-brainer...

Which is probably why Democrats miss it... :eyeroll:

A gun is no more responsible for Uvalde or Buffalo than an SUV was responsible for Waukesha..

When a gun walks into a school of it's own volition and makes a sentient decision to start shooting people..

Then... and ONLY then.. Will Democrats have a rational and logical argument..

Biden looks powerless as crises crest around him

(CNN)Joe Biden is right that presidents can't just click their fingers and fix things. But for his political prospects, he might have been best not saying so out loud.

Biden is bolstering perceptions that his crisis-submerged presidency is beleaguered and gave Republicans a vast opening Wednesday with several eye-opening statements about challenges weighing down his White House.
First, the President pointed out that there's not much he can do to bring down record gasoline prices and the soaring cost of food. Then he revealed that he didn't know until April that the shutdown of a baby formula factory in February would cause a supply crisis that has panicked parents of newborns. And despite airlifts of formula from Europe, he said that shortage will not end for two months.

These admissions followed Biden's accurate warning earlier this week that he can't simply change gun laws himself following last week's school massacre in Texas. Pressure on the administration to lead a new effort to get Congress to tighten firearm laws, despite habitual Republican opposition, grew again Wednesday after yet another gun rampage -- this time in Oklahoma, where at least four people were killed and multiple were injured in a shooting at a hospital campus in Tulsa.
Biden is not the only member of his administration showing candor. On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen commented that she was wrong to believe last year that inflation wasn't a threat. She attributed the error to unforeseen crises like Russia's invasion of Ukraine and post-pandemic supply chain issues.

Biden might get credit for honesty. But his frankness is offering no comfort to Americans looking for answers to these problems. Instead, they are a potential albatross for Democrats running for office in one of the most testing midterm election environments in years. His words undermine the new push the White House launched only this week to show that Biden understands the pain many Americans are feeling at the pump and in checkout lines and has plans to help them. Anytime presidents offer an impression of powerlessness and fracture the mystique of their own omnipotence, they court a political blowback. Biden can't afford any idea he's not up to the job given his low approval ratings of around 40% and devastating numbers on his handling of the economy and inflation.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/02/politics/biden-powerless-inflation-gas-prices-guns/index.html

The simple fact is, Biden's Handlers are incompetent.. They over-estimate their support by FAR and then wonder why the American people are so against their policies...

Beneath Biden's struggle to break through is a deeper dysfunction among White House aides

(CNN)Being familiar never makes the feeling less dreadful: White House aides emailing each other during one of President Joe Biden's stops on the road, tracking who's covering what he's saying, which TV channels are taking the speech live -- and realizing a number of times that the answer was none.

"You are thinking," said one person familiar, "why are we doing this?"
Analysis: Biden looks powerless as crises crest around him
Analysis: Biden looks powerless as crises crest around him
Biden and his inner circle get weekly readouts of the metrics on local newspaper coverage of his speeches, how long and for what he was covered on cable, but also videos that staff post on Twitter and other social media interactions. Those reports go on the piles with internal memos from pollsters saying Biden isn't breaking through in traditional news outlets and that the people who are engaged are mostly voters who've already made up their minds.
But beneath this struggle to break through is a deeper dysfunction calcified among aides who largely started working together only through Zoom screens and still struggle to get in rhythm. They're still finding it hard to grasp how much their political standing has changed over the last year, and there's a divide between most of the White House staff and the inner circle who have been around Biden for longer than most of the rest of that staff has been alive. In an email to CNN, White House spokesman Andrew Bates said, "That is not the dynamic in the White House."

Biden is the most monitored, the most nurse-maided POTUS in the history of this country.. :^/

NO ONE is claiming this..

But the FACT is, the 2nd has been watered down as much as is permissible..

There are simply NO MORE laws that can be enacted under the auspices of the 2nd that will have ANY impact on the Crowd Based Mass Shootings these laws are intended to address..

The cupboard is bare, Democrats.. There is no more 'there' there..

The *ONLY* laws that will have an impact and are allowable under the 2nd are Red Flag/Mental Health laws..

But Democrats worship at the altar of Personal Privacy.. Until they come down off their altar, nothing will get done..

Biden said Congress should reinstate an assault weapons ban, raise the purchase age for firearms, and pass red flag gun laws

First of all, let's be clear.. As I said above, there will be no assault rifle ban...

Secondly, even if there WAS a reinstatement of that flawed and loop-hole ridden law, it would have absolutely NO EFFECT on ANYTHING..

Even the effect in the 90s was ambiguous and equivocal..

Today?? It would mean less than nothing..

THERE IS NO LAW THAT CAN BE PASSED THAT IS ALLOWABLE UNDER THE 2nd AND WILL PREVENT OR HELP PREVENT CROWD BASED MASS SHOOTINGS

It's THAT simple..

And until Democrats get that through their heads and pass some REAL laws that will have a REAL effect, these shootings will continue to happen..

I can't dumb it down any more than that...

A thought came to me earlier. We should stop saying “shootings [are] the number one killer of our children in America.” Or, at least, we should stop leaving it there.

Absolutely... We should ALSO mention the 63 MILLION children that were killed by Democrat supported baby killing..

Your concern for children's lives is nothing but politically based..

Else you would show some similar remorse for the 63 MILLION children butchered by Democrat support for baby killing, AKA abortion..

There won't be any "assault rifle" ban because Democrats CAN'T define what an "assault rifle" is..

"Oooohhh the scary looking rifles" does not make for good law...

Every law that CAN be passed that is allowable under the 2nd and will actually address the problem of CBMSs HAS been passed...

The ONLY laws that will have a chance of passing are Red Flag/Mental Health laws..

But Democrats REFUSE to give those kinds of laws any real teeth..

So, NOTHING of any consequence will get passed..

JUST like after Sandy Hook...

And, need I remind ya'all, that it was DEMOCRATS who derailed anti-gun WOULDN'T IT BE NICE laws after Sandy Hook..

And it will be DEMOCRATS who will prevent any anti-gun WOULDN'T IT BE NICE laws now...

Overall, Chicago could have had 51 people being shot by 47 different shooters. And since you are not listing the number killed in these shootings, we must assume that they all survived.

So, NO, TWO AND A HALF Unvaldes DID NOT occur in Chicago over a single weekend!!

I am sure the people brutally murdered in Chicago appreciate your semantical pretzel logic..

The simple fact it. Over TWICE the people died in Chicago over a single weekend that died in Uvalde..

And Democrats say NOTHING..

Maybe it's because they were only black people is why Democrats are silent..

The point is, Russ (I am not surprised I have to explain it. :eyeroll) is that Democrats are simply USING these mass shootings to further their anti-gun agenda..

Democrats really don't care about the number of dead..

I reserve the right to hope that Joe's relative lack of visibility is akin to DOJ's relative lack of visability... you'd think that they're not doing dink but wait until the levee breaks! It ain't over until...

Nobody is paying attention to politics right now so Joe isn't in a position to move the needle much at the moment. Maybe this is a version of Joe keeping his powder dry until the moment is right.

Joe's been around the block. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this is what's going on.
