F***. MITCH. MCCONNELL.

I am SICK OF THESE PEOPLE.

McConnell Taps Sen. Cornyn to Work Toward 'Bipartisan' Gun Control

Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has instructed Sen. John Cornyn to work with Democrats to achieve "bipartisan" gun control.

Oh my God. This man has to go. If the GOP wins back the Senate he has to be replaced as leader because Kentucky will continue to elect him until he dies in office.

I’m a super-transphobic person myself.
Society not only wants you to accept this BS, but to celebrate it. I could car less what people do behind closed doors, but I’m sick of seeing it in my face.

 

[berniecarbo]

You know with that last sentence I’ll respond, the way that law enforcement has been tied with both hands around their back and many taking early retirement or simply quitting because of the progressive libs and defund the police, ect. It’s my opinion the responding officers are very hesitant from a procedure standpoint to be front page news and have guys like you put them on blast within social media and protest outside their homes and so on. It’s a slippery slope for those men and women now because of people like you.
If you forgot what happened in Waco and the outrage from that then this is magnified X’s 100 so I wouldn’t be throwing rocks but then again you always have all the answers. I’m positive you are relieved the kid wasn’t black or you would cry a different tune.

I have asked twice in another thread with almost no response. I'll ask again here. I was a military policeman at a time of extreme social unrest. They offered most of us military cops jobs in almost every major city. I (and most others said no). To those complaining about cops, what would it take money wise for YOU (not Freetaxreturn specifically-but you as in each of us) to accept a cop job in a major city? What are we looking at to attract the people to man the force YOU want?

Don't tell me states and counties can not secure their schools. After the shooting in South Florida most of the counties in the state made important changes. In the county I live a Sheriff deputy is placed in each school. Also a "Guardian" is posted at the entrance. Most often he is a combat veteran who is retired from the military. All are trained to head straight to gun fire if it breaks out in the building. Not wait on orders. They have their orders.

Also there is one point of entry and it has video cameras monitored by security. I am not saying an incident will never break out in the county I live but it sure will not be like the one in Texas turned out. The man below is a "Guardian" in Palmetto, Florida. He is retired military, combat veteran and tested.

The U.S. sends billions over seas so that countries like Ukraine can protect their citizens. Our children deserve better and they can receive it if people would focus on the problem and not on a tool to commit the crime. And the gun is nothing but a tool used by the murderer.

I'm gonna be honest, that picture is disturbing to me. The fact that somehow our schools have to be protected by an armed guard seems perfectly normal is effing peak insanity to where our society is currently. Not criticizing you.

The problem isn't the guns either, it's that something in our society is broken, and it's happened in the past 30 years.

 

[AustinTXCat]

I finally see the light! This is all a Clinton plot! She had Beau killed so Biden wouldn't run in 2016. All so she could run and lose and make Trump President. So they could set him up for colluding with Russia and Ukraine. So they could finally impeach that bastard. So Pence would be the horrible 2020 nominee. And ALL of this so Warren could be the 1st female President! GENIUS! 10D chess!

Yeah, we used to have gun clubs IN SCHOOLS.

I can honestly say that no amount of money would be enough for me to take a cop job in a major city. As we can see from the scrutiny the last few years and over the Texas tragedy, a cop is expected to be perfect in every situation and decision. They get no 'benefit of the doubt' on anything. It's easy to sit back and play armchair quarterback, but in reality, most of the situations require immediate decisions in the heat of the moment, and no one, other than the armchair quarterback, is perfect on every decision.

I was once faced with an immediate decision in Viet Nam. Choose wrong one way and innocent civilians die. Choose wrong in another way and me and other soldiers die. It was a split second decision and I went with my gut. Thankfully everyone turned out safe, but I could easily have been wrong.

BC I wouldn’t accept a job in a metropolitan area as a police officer. There’s no upside to it professionally IMO and the money aspect doesn’t protect you from doing your job without being labeled by the libs that run those local and state governments. It’s just not worth it

 

[vhcat70]

I cannot begin to articulate the level of hatred I will have for McConnell if he goes full blown McCain and thinks he can save his legacy by caving to pop-democrat positions in his final years. He’s been damaging enough to the country, but that will be the mail in the American coffin.

Poor baby.

He's right, the Constitution can be amended. In fact, a good idea would be calling a Constitutional convention.

Been outside working in the yard and listening to talk shows and news. Everybody blasting the police there in Texas. Police is like every other institution/business...there are good ones and there are bad ones.
But in this situation....after 2 years non-stop of 'defund the police'....questioning every move they make....I can't imagine being in the position of whoever it was that was calling the shots in that school. Rush the shooter....one kid gets killed....it's the police fault. Or, rush the shooter and blow him away....and no kids have been harmed....you're ostracized for killing a 18-19 year old mentally disturbed youngster.
The Dem/libs/msm will pounce no matter what.

I think it would be the States involved, not DC. Several States have already decided by elections to call a convention. I think 17 or so. I believe it takes 2/3's of States in order to call one.

There are many situations I would agree with what you wrote...cop chasing someone, does he have a gun...does he not have a gun, cop makes a split second decision...someone on their couch acting like they have all the answers and would have done better generally needs to shut up cause most of us have never been in such a situation.

This Texas situation doesn't seem like armchair quarterbacking to me...an elementary school is getting shot up. Parents getting harassed in the parking lot by cops dressed and armed liked soldiers dropped in Fallujah and yet those cops don't go inside? And one border control agent dressed normally runs in with a shotgun from the barber shop and ends it?

I lived in a small town or two where some cops strutted around like they were Rambo and clearly enjoyed the little power they were given...that is fine, but guess what, if the local school ever becomes a war zone it is their gawd damn to go inside. Firemen have to run into blazing buildings and cops are there to protect the community. Protect kids facing a gunman. Even if they got to take the bullets themselves. What is the point of having a police force if they stand outside the moment they are needed the most?

Side note, how many of these mass shooters end up getting taken alive like the one in Buffalo? Seems like there have been a lot of them, as soon as the bullets start coming their way or even the potential of it...it seems a lot of these types surrender fairly quickly.

This isn't a tough guy post, have no idea even if I had a gun if I would run into that building. I hope in that moment I would have had that courage to go in but none of us know until put there. But I'm a civilian with no training...I'm sorry, I got no sympathy for any of those cops in Texas. The only non-coward in the whole mess is the border agent. That dude should never have to pay for a meal or a beer ever again.

I have generally on here supported police when a questionable situation came up, but this one looks bad. Kids were dying. 50 of them can't just stand outside.

[JumperJack]

I'm not sure exactly what happened yet. However the most questionable part to me is how this kid was able to afford all that gear. That was major cash and he had no income from what it seems.

That definitely needs investigated. Of course with everything else going on, noone will get to it

How did he become good enough in handling it so quickly that he could shoot two cops?

 

[AustinTXCat]

This conversation started with this statement

When you read that even one citizen was murdered by guns that shouldn’t be in a felon's hands and you don’t respond by denouncing illegal firearms, what are you other than a traitor? As a liberal, I told him how he was wrong.

 

[JumperJack]

half those kids probably only died because they bled out for an hour while law enforcenment held their dicks. sad. Back the BLUE!

You spent the last 2 years siding against law enforcement. Maybe you should sit this out.

This is not the same example but it’s an understanding of why people and police are reluctant

True but it would be the current leaders suggesting the changes. And the media would support whatever the dims wanted.

 

[Lost In FL]

Hitlary, and O'Biden, and the media actually committed sedition. And conspired to do so. Therefore, they are a threat to the republic.

They should pay for their crimes ... i am sure that will hapoen.

Sedition ... incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

This accurately describes 2017-2020.
