Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., addressed the shootings in Lewiston, Maine, that killed at least 18 people, calling it a “horrific tragedy.”

    But I mean that’s my point. This is the fourth most powerful man in the country. It’s his job to do something concrete (anyone can do thots and pears that’s not a speaker level of action) to address this or go on the record saying, “we aren’t going to do shit about this because mass shootings are lower priority than putting a gun in the hand of every possible [white] man, woman and child. If your anyone you know has been affected or is afraid of being affected by a mass shooting, that is just the price of freedom so deal with it.”

    Back these fuckers into a corner and force then to either fix it or say exactly that.

      Exactly. I totally agree with you. Just being sarcastic with what I expect their response would be. I hate the “mental health” response which has been their favorite lately. Such a dumb cop out that misses the point. And they never have any intention of helping with the mental health problems in the country either.
