KazumaKiryu 02/15/18 7:40:26 PM #1:	It's sad because people have lost their humanity. Nobody has ever argued that telling someone you're praying for them will magically make the problems go away. It's about human compassion, to know there are people out there thinking of you after a disaster can help someone to cope. We do have a gun problem in America. But let's not make a mockery of those who are offering their compassion. --- Just your bad luck... to run into me. <cite>KazumaKiryu posted [p:896161918] in I have to ...

Apparently the president doesn't have enough power. No individual member of Congress has enough power. No one to be mad at then. You're just mad at nobody. So, you're either trolling or literally weren't paying attention to the entirety of the Obama years? The GOP spent all eight years trying to block everything that Obama ever proposed regardless of everything, and in spite of that he still made multiple moves to try to push the GOP to make a move on it and signed executive orders to try to combat it. So, he did try repeatedly. And the fault is wholly on congressional GOP for not ever making a move on the matter and for just accepting NRA donations on the subject despite very widespread approval for at least marginal gun control legislation. There clearly is a side at fault here, and even if you think that some Democrat proposals suck it's on the GOP side for refusing to ever take action on anything related to it. --- The poster formerly known as Kakarot181: July 2, 2002 - March 14, 2012.
