Bipartisan crap on gun control

 Submitted by: Joseph Grisafi Jr

This will do absolutely NOTHING...........................NOTHING.

Your re-elected poli-diots are doing nothing to stop school shootings. Read their names. And of course Cornyn is there. How many stupid voters re-elected this idiot?

This is a "feel-good" maneuver to try and satisfy the masses.......and we know there are plenty out there. And of course it's the law-abiding that they are after.

As for RED FLAG LAWS - they are pushing this to the hilt. This is their CONFISCATION maneuver to get our guns. All gun owners have a mental deficiency. Hell, we own guns so we all must be sick.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate voters that continue to vote for an incumbent even if there's an "R" after his/her name? Now why is that? It's because they are destroying our country.

A bipartisan group of senators on Sunday announced an agreement had been reached -- though in principle only -- on new legislation meant to address the country's ongoing gun violence, including the recent Uvalde, Texas, elementary school shooting.

The deal, in the works for weeks, has the support of at least 10 Republicans in the Senate, which is the number needed to avoid a filibuster.

If passed, the proposal would be the first major gun law to make it through Congress in years.

Among other things, the agreement would provide funding for mental health (including behavioral health centers) and incentives for the creation of so-called "red flag" laws to remove firearms from people who are a danger to themselves or others; increase money for school safety; and strengthen the federal background check system as it relates to convicted domestic violence abusers or those with restraining orders.

Potential gun owners under 21 would also be subject to "an investigative period to review juvenile and mental health records, including checks with state databases and local law enforcement," the bipartisan group said Sunday.

Twenty senators released a statement confirming the deal, saying in part: "Today, we are announcing a commonsense, bipartisan proposal to protect America's children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence across our country. Families are scared, and it is our duty to come together and get something done that will help restore their sense of safety and security in their communities."

The 20 lawmakers -- double the initial bipartisan group who restarted negotiations late last month -- are Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Chris Coons of Delaware, John Cornyn of Texas, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Angus King of Maine, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
