Jokes aside, Democrats all agree this is clearly a mentally ill individual who should not have had access to a Glock. We're for universal background checks, waiting periods, increased low-cost mental health access... all things that may have prevented this and many other shootings.
In stark contrast, the Texas GQP wants to make sure he can get any guns he wants and do so right the fuck NOW.
Are they willing to support waiting periods before purchasing a gun? No, that would unreasonably deny someone the ability to satisfy their Second Amendment fetish immediately.
Are they willing to support universal background checks? No, apparently a considerable number of them are concerned they will fail a background check.
Are they willing to consider reforms to handgun laws? Hahahahahaha. Not a fucking chance.
Are they willing to support increased access to high quality, low-cost mental health care? No, they are against that. Socialism is only acceptable when it's going to a large corporation, or for buying off rural voting blocs.
But somehow, this single event is a condemnation of the Democratic Party, their leadership, their policies and their voters.
