all part of the deep state plan, take away the guns from good people, and allow thugs to have them.
I'll listen to Democrats on gun control when they stop being so soft on crime, the worst cities are Democrat ran cities
Not going to happen!
And UFOs might bring Elvis back, it's possible.
So basically they want 10 more votes! When Trump said the exact same thing in Georgia they accused him of cheating in the election! These people accuse others of what they do all the time!
Any laws will help to some extent, but, in essence, they more or less just scratch the surface of the gun problem. Sooner or later, if you want this actually solved, you'll have to go against the main culprit – the 2nd amendment.
At the absolute LEAST any just red flag law should include access to a public defender; you're talking thousands if not 10s of thousands of dollars in attorney and court fees if an individual feels wrongly accused and wishes to contest the confiscation of their guns. There should be a swift/prompt hearing date, measured in weeks not months, at which the accused may face their accuser & respond to accusations, and the evidentiary burden of proof needs to be placed on the state rather than the red flagged individual, as it currently is.
Additionally, it should include automatic return of firearms to owners after 3 months, unless there is a finding of continued justification for the deprivation of rights. And finally, there should be a strict provision spelling out who can red flag someone, and that list should be kept as narrow as possible. Several states that have implemented red flag laws started with only law enforcement, then they changed it to cops+ immediate family, then they added extended family, then teachers, then doctors. It's yet another example of the slippery slope of gun control, but then we're just paranoid. 😜
Considering the FACT that this is not a gun problem and strictly a people problem, this news does nothing.
It's all about, "Look, we did something!" Not necessarily something that will pass (which it won't, for many reasons). Much Good in many parts, but too sloppily crafted in too many others, especially in the "magazine capacity" portion. Dead in the Senate, I have zero doubts about it.
We really need universal school safety measures nationwide.
We need to protect the kids.
Not play gun grab bingo..
All Democrats care about is gun laws.
They put school safety on the back burner
I got a funny feeling about the whole situation something's going to collapse🤔

END THE FILIBUSTER and you don't need ANY Republican votes.
Incumbents can be voted out too. Just because Dems are well on their way out the door doesn’t mean Republicans aren’t going out with them.
Stop using the constitution as your door mat!
Shall not be infringed.
The survival of the Republican party relies on satisfying a radical minority of the American population. This is a huge problem.
It's time to amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act to prevent legislators from being swayed financially by lobbyists. WE elect the Legislative branch, so they should work for US. That way we can have senators who have some common sense and are not being legally "bribed."
If Republicans are voting for it, it means it won’t do anything

susceptible to fear, then they'll go buy guns, which makes everyone else fearful and the GOP try to push a civil war after they've armed the fearful.
Authoritarian leaders thrive on fear. We need to help people feel safe [TheGuardian]
The philosopher and psychologist Erich Fromm wrote that when people perceive an increase in disorder, they feel tremendous anxiety. Inevitably, this anxiety leads to a quest for security. To bring a sense of safety back into their lives, they latch on to authoritarianism and conformity. As Fromm noted, this often leads to “a readiness to accept any ideology and any leader if only he offers a political structure and symbols which allegedly give meaning and order to an individual’s life”. He had observed this in Germany, which he fled in 1933: “Modern man still is anxious and tempted to surrender his freedom to dictators of all kinds,” he wrote.
Trump Once Said Power Was About Instilling Fear. In That Case, He Should Be Worried. [NYTimes]
WASHINGTON — Richard M. Nixon once said, “People react to fear, not love; they don’t teach that in Sunday school, but it’s true.” In an interview Mr. Trump said, “Real power is fear.”
Fear and Anxiety Drive Conservatives' Political Attitudes [PsychologyToday]
Peer-reviewed research shows that conservatives are generally more sensitive to threat. While this threat-bias can distort reality, fuel irrational fears, and make one more vulnerable to fear-mongering politicians.
IF you are to follow the conservative members of the supreme court who are originalists (In the context of United States law, originalism is a concept regarding the interpretation of the Constitution that asserts that all statements in the constitution must be interpreted based on the original understanding "at the time it was adopted"…. the only guns allowable in the nation should be flint locks and single-shot muskets… the guns used during the writing of the constitution. That is “the arms” they were writing about. #TexasSchoolMassacre #2ndAmendment
The EASIEST way to STOP gun violence.
All citizens, especially American Mothers become a SINGLE issue voter.
Do NOT vote, if a politician (doesn't matter Republican or a Democrat) ;
1. Takes money from the NRA.
2. Gets rating from the NRA.
3. Supports any kind of automatic weapons.
Good luck.
Protect your children..
I guess those Republicans don't want to be re-elected.
Why did democrat Chuck Schumer BLOCK LEGISLATION on may 25 that would of helped Protect children in schools and make schools SAFER and Gun free zones MUST GO. America will never be SAFE with Caravans of illegals from all over the world on their way to America thru our wide open Borders right now. People they don't want America to be SAFE, the Globalist are Flooding America with millions and millions of illegals on purpose to destroy America and turn America into a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY it's happening
Yeah right.. Republicans will play their normal games, claim now to support it, then refuse to support it unless they can protect gun manufacturers and all the American betas that need a 'Penis Compensator' to deal with their own perceived shortcomings.. that no one else cares about.
Bet me.. this will fail because Republicans will walk away and filibuster like they always do.
Protect Gun Laws for All Americans
