Biden needs to issue an EO to deal with the crisis

The crisis is the mass shootings that have become the norm. This year we are breaking all records on these shootings, and as we move into the warmer months, we need something to be done.

While I do not know what the constitutional hurdles would be, I think Bideon should issue an Executive Order on all new gun sales for a mandated 60 day cooling off period. You will get your weapon 60 days after background checks have cleared and your credit card payment goes through.

Many states already have cooling-off periods for handguns already, this measure would be temporary, just long enough to get us through summer, where most people are engaged in summer activities outdoors.

The data to watch if there's a drop in these incidents would be quite valuable in coming up with a more permanent solution, because if TX, which already has some of the laxist gun restrictions in the country and is already armed to the teeth keeps having more mass shootings, then the whole "more guns argument" can be definitively be proven as false and laid to rest.

 

How far is the GOP willing to sit on their hands doing NOTHING?

 

whatever is done must be done despite their obstruction, and with full knowledge that they will reverse it in court. it will also cost dems the majority in either house for a generation.

and, by the way, every gun totin' good guy at that outlet mall who stood by and allowed 9 people to die should be sued.

 

Yeah, how about we don’t get into the habit of making pointlessly silly, reactionary laws just to say someone did something.

If you’re not all fussy about what happens in Houston or Chicago every weekend this is simply being spastic.

 

Very easy hurdle. He would just have to walk to 701 Constitution Avenue and set one document on fire. Easy peasy.

 

lol, what? That’s not how the law works, you don’t get to sue people for not jumping into a gun fight. Seriously…

 

Is the left willing to put similar restrictions on voting as they want to have with guns?

And yet another thread about guns while 100k drug overdose deaths go completely ignored be the left. Talk about having an agenda.

 

Doesn't take much for you to consider something a crisis huh? Something that affects less than .00001% of the population and you consider it a crisis.

 

Don’t worry, Biden won’t do that because out of his very own lips he said only dictators use EOs to get things done.

 

Voting is killing people?!?!

Geezus, Steve. That's a whopper!

 

Well, considering that's about how many people are trans, the GOP response to that non-issue is all over the place. Let's just say, your priorities are a bit effed up.

 

so this "good guy with a gun" business is all public relations bs? i might have never guessed.
a militia, esp a well regulated militia, might be seen as having a duty to protect the innocent.

 

I'm sure you would love that.

 

you don’t hear about that as often because…wait for it…the problem stops. It doesn’t make the news. It usually isn’t even reported to the police.

you’d also think the police would have a legal duty to protect the citizens but they don’t. So your security is your responsibility.

 

Absolutely it kills people. It killed people in the minor incursion in Ukraine, it’s killing people who die from the drugs sent here by Mexico, it’s killing the people who die in the desert or are murdered on their way here because they accepted Biden’s invitation, its killing people in liberal cities who do nothing to stop crime, and I won’t even mention abortions.

 

If it’s a non issue then why are libs pushing it in schools, go bonkers when told to stop and otherwise try to force it down our throats? Jesus, Biden even invited one of those freaks to the White House.

 

Oh brother! Hyperbole on turbo charge.

 

I agree with Steve... elections have consequences... our screwed up country and policies are a direct result of it.. and all by a dementia ridden old man as we set back and watch it happen...

 

Freaks?

That says it all with your use of that word.

In case you're confused, all the trans talk is from folks like yourself who want to shove these people into the closet, out of sight and mine...because...because what? You're afraid to lose your man card? LOL

 

Yes, freak, a circus performer who seeks attention by insulting women.

And for your information, there is no such thing as T people, it’s physically, biologically, and scientifically impossible. You guys on the left should be ashamed that you don’t get them the mental help they need, probably because it’s all the rage and fashion right now, and probably because the medical profession is cashing in on it.

My wife had our male cat fixed, that that make him a female?

 

So much rage, Stevie. Not good for your blood pressure.

How are they "insulting" women? All my female friends say they love the queer spectrum of people. So how are the women you know insulted? Or, as I am starting to gather here, it is men like yourself who are so insecure at possibly, even in the smallest way, might find themselves attracted to one? Is the fear, under your way of thinking, that you could be gay because you might actually like a transgendered woman? I don't expect you to honestly answer. It's a rhetorical question because the anger that I detect in your post does not make much sense for a segment of the population that is quite small. There really isn't anything a trans person can do to you if you do not want to be around them, but relegating them to the equivalent of lepers is downright biblically barbaric.

 

Your a funny guy. Does your wife behave like Mulvaney? Mine doesn’t.

So let’s say I identify as being black and I got some gold teeth, grills, bling, wide brim hat, loud orange suit, purple Cadillac with big white walls, said poo-leese instead of police, kinked up my hair, had my lips and nose made bigger, had numerous baby mammas, bragged about being on welfare, pimped out some women, starred in Netflix movies, Disney used my likeness in their latest woke cartoon, became an influencer for the NAACP, and I received some sort of black person of the year award, would you say that might be a tad offensive to some people? That’s what Mulvaney and others are doing to women.

 

That is some twisted thinking, sprinkled profusely with racial stereotypes too!

For what reason would you want to deny them living their lives as they see fit?

If you want to be a walking depiction of stereotypes, be my guest. It doesn't hurt me. I'm secure in who I am, flaws and all. I'm not defined by other people's choices, but conservatives these days are on a crusade, and there is no justification for this hate.

It is no wonder the Orange One has exploited your fears. You can't even be honest with yourselves. It's evident in all the actions of Repubs across all the red states spitting out new laws based on perceived evil people, and the only apparent reason is to keep the Rubes happy.
