    Bullshit. Democrats would be happy to try ANYTHING to solve this issue.

    Republicans have blocked every avenue.

    Do not both-sides this extremely one-sided issue.

      Bullshit. Democrats would be happy to try ANYTHING to solve this issue.

      And yet they’ve pushed literally nothing but various restrictions and bans focusing on firearms rather than attempting to address underlying root issues.

      Do not both-sides this extremely one-sided issue.

      Don’t pretend a failing of both parties is somehow only a failing of one.

        As another poster highlighted, blue team doesn’t want to kill the golden goose.

        As things stand, they have a perpetual wedge issue to capitalize on, they have no obligation to actually put up as voters are too willfully ignorant to actually hold them accountable, and they get to profit off blue-aligned media every time they sensationalize such a thing, all while not actually having to address the pesky class/inequality issues they depend on.

        They have absolutely no incentive to change status quo.
