Republican Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Democrat Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) appear on Sunday broadcasts to discuss the most likely framework the Senate group is putting together for new gun control legislation.
The general convergence appears to surround: •a possible raising of the age to purchase a semi-automatic rifle (definition to be determined) from 18 to 21; •new federal red flag laws and/or financing to state government to construct ‘red flag’ laws; •increased federal funding for mental health screenings and facilities; and •new federal background check requirements for gun purchases.
Pat Toomey appeared on Face the Nation, while Chris Murphy appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper. Both interviews below, starting with Pat Toomey on CBS [Transcript Link Here] WATCH:

(some of the SH ‘players’, apparently, ‘reprised’ their rôle in the bogus-baloney Texas ‘incident’ )
Alex Jones should watch it.
How about no. The answer is an emphatic HellNo.
Not one of those proposals would have prevented even 1 of the past or current school shootings ffs, including columbine. No.
“The answer….those proposals ”
‘the answer’ is that none of ‘those proposals’ would with-stand a determined SCotUS challenge;
if these gun-grabbers were for real, then, they would be saying that the 2 ⁿᵈ Amend. must, 1ˢᵗ, be changed…
( gl with that, BTW )
The SCOTUS that declined a TX case against several states for “standing” cannot be depended upon to interpret 4 simple words… “shall not be infringed.”
“…declined a TX case against several states for “standing” cannot be depended upon to interpret 4 simple words”
they have interpreted it correctly;
and, hope-fully, will, indeed, hand down a pro-2ᴬ decision in the NYSRPA vs State of NY case soon….
the problem is not that they can’t ‘interpret’ it but, actually, getting them to hear such a case…
Chack chack.
You will end gun violence just like you ended poverty, drug abuse, expensive housing, out of control medical costs, and left no child behind in the education field. Go to hell.
When the government, city, state or federal creates a NEW Department, it is created to DO ‘something’ and quite often to address a problem.
If that Department SOLVES the problem, its reason for existing,..evaporates.
Therefore, a burocrazy does NOT want to ‘solve’ the problem, they want to at least maintain, and preferably INCREASE the problem, to justify bigger budgets, guarantee job security, etc.
True for pretty much EVERY Govt Dept, fro sanitation to military.
Is it true that the Uvalde Sheriff in charge has refused to discuss where his commands came from and has hired legal counsel?
Yes, he’s waiting for Merrick Garland to get his story straight!
RESTORE THE FAMILY STRUCTURE! There’s your answer.
Sadly, there’s not enough time to return and raise better children, citizens and not zombies.
We need to bring God back into our daily lives. We need to live Godly lives. Nothing else matters, or will work.
Hey, Dems….. how about decreasing killing of young black men, women, and children (a big chunk of the homicide total) almost immediately and with bipartisan support: Every big city has Gang Taskforces who have files full of gangmember names, tattoo photos, addresses, etc; why not GO and GET THEIR ILLEGAL /STOLEN /FULL AUTO GUNS FIRST?? Let me know how it goes!
Simply aggresively enforcing the FEDERAL law on felonony gun possesion would greatly impact gun deaths.
Its a FEDERAL law that prohibits convicted felons from possesing a gun.
When local boys in blue arrest a felon witha gun, they turn the case over to FEDERAL prosecutors.
If the FEDERAL Prosecutors decline to prosecute, local PD have no choice but to release the felon.
Obama admin prosecuted very few, for Felony gun possesion.
Trump admin prioritised such convictions,…
And no doubt OBIDEN admin has gone back to not prosecuting.
A lot of inner city gun violence is perpetrated by a small # of repeat shooters, most of whom have felony records.
Never forget, cheating aside, half the country wanted these characters and their marxist erosions to liberty.
Never forget that because this is the society the Left wants because the Left made this society. It’s taken decades. Fine job.
HALF the country, didn’t vote, so we have no way to guage what they wanted.
And yes, some of them may be lo-fo idiots,…
On the other hand, some say they don’t vote because “Dem or Rep, it makes NO DIFFERENCE, they are all corrupt!”
Which I can’t really argue with. One, unrecognised reality is that PDJT got a signinficant level of support from “never or seldom vote” demographic.
Anyway, I dispute that “cheating aside, HALF of voters voted”,…FOR the crap we are seeing.
They can all go to hell.
They ignore with impunity the First Amendment preamble: Congress shall make no law….
The ignore the plain language of the Second Amendment. You know, the one to protect the First Amendment.
The Fourth Amendment is subject to the whims of the unelected Black Robe Clergy posse and the unconstitutional, immoral, criminal conspiracy known as Civil Asset Forfeiture.
The Fifth Amendment was gutted by the Kelo decision.
We are no longer a nation of citizens. We are a nation of laws, hundreds of thousands of laws and even more regulations. We live under the whims and dictates of petty tyrants both great and small. At any moment we are subject to detention, interrogation, arrest, trial, and incarceration for the stupidest laws, rules, and regulations imaginable.
We Are An Empire In Decline.
We Are Rome.
The 10th, IIRC is the one they have abused the most.
All powers not specifically delegated to the Federal govt are reserved to the States and the People.
HUGE power grab for over 100 years, of the Fed taking on powers reserved to the States and the People.
And, they only ‘got away with it’ because the States and the People didn’t challenge it.
In Court, they have no leg to stand on, it just takes States to challenge the overreach in Court.
Both are history but before they go they want to do as much damage as possible.
The people who live in Chicago will be thrilled to learn that more gun laws will stem the tide of gun violence in their city.
Chicago year to date
Shot and Killed….236
Shot and Wounded..1042
Total Shot….1278
Total Homicides…260

Pat Toomey, and the other foolish Republicans who are entertaining these gun-control negotiations will end up on the losing side of these negotiations….. and the leftist Dems will slide things in that do real dmg to the 2nd Amendment, society as a whole, the govt will have more power- and we’ll hear “sorry we didn’t know they would do that”.
We don’t need more gun laws or taxes…. We need to enforce current gun laws & support healthy families!!
They missed the psychotropic medications all these guys were on…didn’t want to bother Big Pharma…
Are there ANY real men and women that actually defend our rights instead of scheming 24/7 to enslave us? These 2 should be the first to stop consuming Oxygen. No more exhaling, you know, CO2 is dangerous. When the oxygen purge starts…and it will… it will be like a train going up a mountain running out of fuel …purge the CO2 users. Steadfast
If these morons deem 18 as being too young (min. age 21) for a semi-automatic weapon then it stands to reason that they must necessarily raise the age for enlistment in the military services to 21. Oh, that’s right, “reason” never factors in to their arguments.
The democRATS are the party of CRIME, LAWLESSNESS and LAWFARE! They are CRIMINALS and PROMOTING SCHOOL MASS MURDER! They probably SETUP these mass murders via the FBI/CIA. They use school shootings to try and eliminate the 2A. The RHINOS are falling for their BS and need to call them out for what they are. COMMUNISTS!
The left is desperate to disarm the citizens.
Seems to me the enemy is in a pickle; I don’t see how theycan succesfully impose their GND, BBB ‘plan’ (fantasy, really) on America, without confiscating all the guns.
And, I don’t see them confiscating all the guns.
This is only one of several fundamental, insolvable roadblocks, which is why GND/BBB is a FANTASY, not a VIABLE plan.
While they have control, they don’t have ENOUGH control, and I don’t see them leveraging the control they do have, to get the control they would HAVE to have, in order to be succesful.
They have initiated a two-front war, both against Brics aligned countries, and against the middle class in American and other western countries.
Yet another problem for them.
They do not have the kind of control of communication (media, tech, etc.) that they MUST have; witness that I am writing and you are reading these words.
Because they demand absolute parroting of the current ‘party line’ and excommunicate anyone who dissents, (anyone heard from Chris Mathews, lately?) they get no ‘constructive criticism’ from within their own ranks, pointing out the practical impossibility of their plans.
They WILL lose, ultimately.
How much damage they will do, before they are ulrimately stopped, and how long it will take to get to that point, is the only question.
