Qasim Rashid, Esq.Americans have now suffered 40 mass shootings in the first 24 days of 2023. More than 2800 total gun deaths—including 122 children. And yet GOP wants MORE guns & reject any regulation.
Honestly how corrupt & conscientiously ignorant must one be to ignore "well regulated" & only read "shall not be infringed" in your 2A interpretation?
Imagine if we read the 1A like that? "We would pass this bill but the 1A clearly says 'Congress shall make no law' so too bad!" It's absurd.
Pass Gun Reform NOW.
Ben CohenJust right-clicked a link in a mastodon post and copied it then sent it to someone and only then did it finally occur to me that it was completely a unfucked-with link. Not some BS redirect link that tracks where it came from and who I sent it to. Just a regular link.
L O L G O PThinking the millions of people who've served time who struggle to find any work the rest of their lives watching the guys who planned a coup being put on top House committees less than three years after said coup.

Seth CotlarIt’s not just that the GOP has catered to the right wing tin foil hat brigade to win elections, they are installing the brigade’s generals into positions of significant power and influence in the government.
Drew Harwell“Unlike other attempts to topple governments across Latin America’s history, the attacks on Sunday were not ordered by a single strongman ruler or a military bent on seizing power, but rather were fueled by a more insidious, deeply rooted threat: mass delusion. ... 'If there was no Trump, there would be no Bolsonaro in Brazil. And if there was no invasion of the Capitol, there wouldn’t have been the invasion we saw yesterday'"

Max KennerlyIt'd only take a handful of moderate Republicans to ward off the many crises planned by extremists in the House, from a government shutdown to a debt default to ending aid to Ukraine.
But that's the problem, as shown by the McCarthy deal ratified by the House GOP: there are zero moderate Republicans. They're all extremists. They prefer manufactured crises to stable governance.
