Because Republicans are in bed with the gun lobbyists that would stop it and money is supreme in this country. Every single problem that persists in this climate is because politicians’ careers are dependent on them not getting fixed and okay with it because it won’t hit close to home. Could “tough on crime” politicians exist if there’s no crime? Out of all these school shootings how many of the children are the children of politicians? That’s why it won’t get fixed.
Children getting aborted in Texas is more important than children getting shot in the same state because “mUh fREedOms”.
Quick, tell us how much the gun lobbyists contribute. (It's not a big number, someone like Gates etc. would consider it pocket change.)
Then what's the REAL reason you ask? The Senate. Look at this map and notice the blue dot in Montana? Wisconsin? Or the two blue dots in MI or CO?
If those democratic senators in rural states with lots of hunters etc. vote in a gun ban, they're toast and the Democrats don't want to lose multiple Senate seats.
You didn't read my post. I asked about Democrats, not Republicans. The Democrats could do it without the Republicans if they wanted to. The Republicans technically have no say as the minority.
No they couldn’t because again, money rules over parties and everything you said. There’s too much and business in the problems continuing than stopping.
Let’s say a Democrat proposed the laws you mentioned. Are you saying Republicans would just say “sure. Let’s do it!”
its not "gun laws" which need to be passed..... its mental health laws that need to be passed
since the late 70's when liberals closed all the institutions and sanitariums due to being "in-humane", mental health is the 800lb gorilla in the room that is never addressed
I believe we need to repell "Gun Safe" zones around schools and explicitly allow any Concealed Carry licensee to carry inside any building without security guard including schools, libraries and townhalls.
I agree with you. But the Democrats don't. They claim to know how to solve this problem, but are adamantly refusing to pass laws to do so. Why is that? What are they hiding? Why are they blaming people like us who do have solutions?

The Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 (MHSA) was United States legislation signed by President Jimmy Carter which provided grants to community mental health centers, which supported and financed community mental health support systems, coordinated general health care, mental health care, and social support services.
In 1981 President Ronald Reagan, who had made major efforts during his Governorship to reduce funding and enlistment for California mental institutions, pushed a political effort through the U.S. Congress -- The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, signed by President Ronald Reagan on August 13, 1981, repealed most of the MHSA.
Please do tell what programs and acts Republicans have raised and sponsored that are to fund more money into mental health. I’ll make it easier for you.
Look at the link above and notice MOST of the programs to address mental health issues are sponsored by democrats. The main funders of mental health advocacy are usually left-wing.
Here’s a thought. If the shooter of 19 kids was aborted would he have been alive to go and do it?
If Democrats really cared about mental health, why aren't they passing laws to help the mentally ill. They have control of Congress and Presidency, yet are stubbornly refusing to do anything. Why do they and you keep blaming the Republicans?
It was pushed on him just like amnesty with great promises for the future which never materialized.
Blame the Republicans for all.....
Bills originate in Congress.....
