Mitch McConnell: ‘Get Your Crying Done Now Because We’re Not Passing Shit’

WASHINGTON—In a press conference addressing the community of Uvalde, TX, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly urged those affected Thursday to get their crying done now because he wouldn’t be passing shit. “Go ahead and shed some tears, trot out the families of the victims, do whatever the fuck you’re going to do, and then we’re going to go back to pretending none of this happened,” said McConnell, urging the nation to go online and post whatever little impassioned rants or photographs of the bereaved they had, since he and his fellow lawmakers had decided their response to all of this would continue to be absolutely fucking nothing. “And yes, we know the parents of the victims will be burying 19 young children in the coming few weeks. Seriously, none of it matters to us. I don’t know how to make it any clearer. We simply couldn’t care less.” At press time, McConnell had returned to the podium to add that his thoughts and prayers were, of course, with the community and the grieving families.

In the novel American Psycho, there’s a disturbing scene — so disturbing, in fact, that it’s not included in the film adaptation. While visiting the zoo, Patrick Bateman approaches and stabs a child who had wandered off from his family. Knowing that his act need not prove fatal and that prompt medical attention could save the victim, he poses as a doctor and orders the crowd to give him and the child space. Bateman wastes vital time feigning attempts to save the child and preventing anyone who could (and who actually wanted to) help from being able to do so.

It occurred to me today: the GOP is Patrick Bateman. The party’s deliberate policy choices repeatedly and predictably result in the slaughter of children. But when anyone advocates action that would prevent further tragedy, GOP politicians call them off, wielding feigned sanctimony and disingenuous pleas to respect the memory of the victims to ensure no one intervenes to prevent the murder of yet more American children.

Oh, and: spoiler alert.

As stated, hardening the schools isn't feasible. Yes, I'm sure older buildings could have improved designs but it's next to impossible to fully protect a building that calls for large numbers of people to frequently have to enter and exit.

Of course the hardening the school is not about policy but strangely trying to appeal to their core audience. We have posters here that regularly discuss how they've setup their house to handle the home invaders. They're probably jerking off when they hear a politician describe single entrances and automated man traps. That's what we need Ethel!

Good news murderers. You don't even need to get a gun to kill people. You can just light the building on fire and watch as the hundreds of kids die in a fire because the idiots only made one impenetrable door. (exit)

and then the cops here he sat around for 40 minutes doing jackshit because "bad man has AR 15. that's really dangerous.  i might die."  so they waited.  and instead, the kids got slaughtered.

This.  It's more mental masturbation by sick fucks who like to talk tough, but when shit gets real -- like at a goddamn elementary school where kids are getting slaughtered -- they stand around doing nothing because they are ACTUALLY terrified pussies who care only about themselves.

Please don’t make this argument. We can create long prison sentences for possession of certain weapons, and there will be a line at the police station to hand them in.

Will some billy badasses or flat out criminals decide to hide their modified automatic weapon? Sure but those morons will be caught over time. And if the future still experiences massacres due to these weapons, it’s more deaths on us for allowing the weapons in the past.

let the criminals and sovereign citizens keep their weapons.  all grades, calibers, everything.

STOP THE SALE OF GUNS PERIOD GOING FORWARD.   all guns can be resold at police stations or ATF-sanctioned events, i.e. gun shows with heavy federal presence.

the loner nuts with no mental health safety net are the ones gunning down schools and grocery stores.

"Well regulated in the 18th century tended to be something like well-organized, well-armed, well disciplined... It didn't mean 'regulation' in the sense that we use it now"

Source: 1st Google result of "what does a well regulated militia mean"

 

Ooh look, a textualist! Break out the dictionary and see where militia indicates every single person should have an assault rifle in their home. 

Does a militia mean home storage of weapons?  Probably the framers meant there was some sort of armory,  right?

Hamilton in Federalist 29 is arguing that the federal government, not the states, is best suited to efficiently/fairly regulate ("provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining") and command ("governing") the militia. That's exactly what I said was meant by well-regulated. 

In 69 (nice) Hamilton uses the words "regulate" and "regulating" in a negative way, like modern useage, as he's describing the absolute powers of a monarch in sharp contrast to the limited powers of the US President.

Hell, the fact that Joe Public doesn't have a way to run a background check himself is just insane. The few times I've sold a gun to an individual I've only sold em to a CHL holder since that's at least a degree of background checking, even if it's potentially years out of date.

More topically: this damn murderer bought his rifles LEGALLY through an FFL. Private sales are definitely a thing that should be reformed, but it didn't matter for this atrocity

i'm sure someone must have mentioned this by now but the National Tracing Center in Martinsburg WV is like a copy of the last scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.  It's warehouses full of paper records.  The NRA has insured that electronic consolidation of gun records has been rendered illegal via appropriations bills beginning in 1979.

When is enough enough? How many times do we have to have a mass shooting at one of our schools, or anywhere else for that matter, before our spineless politicians in Washington take action?

I am a gun owner. I believe in the right to bear arms. Our Second Amendment calls for “a well regulated militia.” Well, where on earth are the regulations? It is unconscionable that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and purchase not one, but two assault rifles with virtually no checks in place.

 

Quote

Unfortunately, our thoughts and prayers don’t do much to address this issue. What does address it is our votes. The vast majority of Americans support commonsense gun control. You have the power to effect change in Washington. Regardless of your party affiliation, vote for representatives who will effect change and vote out those who will not.

Let’s finally put an end to this terrible madness.
