It's all smoke and mirrors and bullshit
up there on Capitol Hill...
Senate negotiators on Tuesday reached a long-awaited deal on a bipartisan gun safety bill to 'take firearms away from dangerous people' and provide billions of dollars in new mental health funding.
The legislation represents a rare moment of bipartisan agreement on the charged issues of gun violence and gun control, breaking nearly 30 years of stalemate on those issues.
The bill does not ban assault-style rifles or high-capacity magazines or significantly expand background-check requirements for gun purchases, reforms that were top Democratic priorities a decade ago.
But it does give states more resources to take guns away from dangerous individuals, even if they haven’t been convicted of a crime, and provides billions of dollars in funding for mental health treatment.
Lawmakers who crafted the legislation say their goal from the start was to prevent mass shootings, such as the mass-casualty events that left 10 people dead at a Buffalo supermarket and 21 dead at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
The 'lawmakers' are full of shit, and every one of them knows the only way to protect kids in schools is to lock-down the schools and make them more secure.
As for the shootings in public places like supermarkets and churches, this bill won't do shit, and they know it.
