Tomorrow is the first time I will set foot in my son's elementary school in 2+ years, for a second grade music performance. Though it will likely be painful on my ears, it should be an incredibly joyous, happy occasion to see all of these cute kids taking another step back towards normalcy after the chaos caused by Covid.
Instead, I will be thinking of these poor parents who have lost their children and will not be able to experience something like this.
I just don't understand why these gun nuts cannot compromise their rights even slightly for the good of others. I know Beto screamed about taking away guns. That is not what we want (well, it is, but I realize it is not realistic). We just want some basic rules in place. If you can handle your gun responsibly, then you should have no problem registering it. And having rules to make sure people who truly should not have guns don't have them, or at least have to try a little harder to get them. And no one (other than someone who used to post here and on DBR who thinks he is Rambo but many others think is sweet and cute) really needs one of these guns that can spray numerous bullets. Again, compromise.
The Dems need to step up and present some moderate legislation. Be extremely careful about what is in it and what is not in it. Don't give them any excuses. Guns are a key issue for Bloomberg. He can single-handedly out-donate the NRA. Pick some winnable races and put some money behind them.
I also find it unbelievable that many of those who are rejoicing about the likely downfall of Roe v Wade because they are "pro life" don't give a darn about doing anything to even slightly reduce the chances of kids dying like this. Hypocrites. And they call themselves patriots. They are an embarrassment to our country and humankind.
