Republicans too afraid to do the right thing! throwthebumsout

Why is it that some people’s first knee jerk reaction is to restrict our freedoms instead of coming up with multiple solutions and taking it from there?

and? Isnt that par for the course? Scream and cry for 48 hours then sweep under the carpet. Table that until another mass murder happens,

Bump stocks aren’t the solution. We need to make sure people get mental help and be mentally healthy so they can be good people.

Bump stocks can be 3D-printed - even an outright ban would run up against the same challenges that regulators are having with 3D printed guns.

Is that really a surprise? As a Brit....I find the USA's love affair with guns incomprehensible

So...does mostly legal mean illegal? Something is either legal or not...smfh 🙄

I don't think the founding fathers mentioned bump stocks in the 2nd Amendment...

The action of a bump stock can be duplicated with a strong rubber band.

That's because bump stocks don't kill people.

But thoughts and prayers were sent! How could that happen after so much thinking and praying by congress and the president?

It’s atrocious. Just goes to show that money is God, and our political system is a farce.

Just as the NRA dictates, correct marco rubio? Correct rick scott? Correct GOP?

Where can I buy one?

Great news! I want full-autos legalized too!

NRA paid by Russian money laundering for GOP Trump. D.c. I your DAMN JOB and report!

I’m still confused on the physics of how a bump stock works. Unless it changes the amount of resistance on the trigger, I’m not sure what it’s supposed to do?

Who cares!!!!! That NRA money is good money baby!!!!

So many issues every week that we can't focus on the past ones. Very unfortunate.

Outrage dujour... people like new sources of outrage

Shocking that Congress& the President have done nothing 🙄
