He was talking about mentally ill people. Guess that went well over your head.

But he used an executive order to make it easier for mentally ill people to get guns.

You guys need to pick a lane.

The 2nd Amendment doesn’t apply to the mentally ill? Communist!

More hyperbole

Specifically, what Obama did was order to Social Security Administration to take the list of people who were deemed so severely mentally ill that they are unfit to handle their own disability benefits and forward it to the FBI. The FBI was then supposed to incorporate that list in the background checks used to disqualify people from gun ownership. Trump's action basically canned all of that, but it had nothing to do with people like the Florida shooter or anyone else who's committed a mass shooting in the past 30 years.

So Trump should just let people take pictures of his signature on the executive order.

Why doesn't he?

I think you just doubled downed on that hyperbole thingy.

Anytime you start your response with "so", it's almost a certainty that hyperbole, a red herring or a goalpost move is to soon follow. That's a high percentage of the time.

Yeah, you guys should check up on that Executive Order.

"We don't plan to release the picture at this time."

That was another time and another place. I know you want to control the direction of every discussion, but try to stick to the topic.

Yeah, it's totally discrimination.

twitter spent all its time reading all the tweets and making their decisions that way.

This is what you think?

Let this sink in:

The children who survived a mass shooting last week are getting death threats from NRA supporters.

Anytime you start your response with "anytime", its almost a certainty that distortion, ad hominem, or deflections follow.

How Parkland Students Changed the Gun Debate
Possessed of that blend of innocence and savvy peculiar to teenagers, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas survivors indeed have emerged as a rare, perhaps even unique, voice in the dispute over guns.

The email that landed in my inbox Thursday morning from Sabrina Fernandez was brief, polite, and painful.

Hi Ms. Cottle,

I’ve just been back to back funerals which is why I haven’t been able to get back to you. Is there any way I can answer all your questions via email by tonight or do you need it immediately?

Eighteen-year-old Fernandez is the student-body president of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Florida. She lives next door to my oldest friend and had graciously agreed to share insights on how she and her classmates are weathering the aftermath of the February 14 mass shooting—especially amid the national frenzy surrounding the #NeverAgain movement that some of the survivors launched to push for gun-law reform.


It’s hard not to be awed by the Stoneman Douglas students. They have been through a trauma that would leave most adults curled in a prenatal pretzel under the bed. But these teens have elbowed their way into one of this nation’s most vicious policy debates, demanding to have their say. As Emma Gonzalez, a Stoneman Douglas senior, explained at a rally last Saturday: “Every single person up here today, all these people should be home grieving. But instead we are up here standing together, because if all our government and president can do is send thoughts and prayers, then it’s time for victims to be the change that we need to see.”

These kids are awesome.


Fernandez’s week had been exactly as rough as you would imagine. Just eight days earlier, 17 of her classmates and teachers had been gunned down. That makes for an awful lot of funerals to attend, an awful lot of friends (and parents) to comfort, an awful lot of grieving to endure. Still, she didn’t want me to think she was ignoring me—or that she didn’t have anything to say.

How many NRA s in Congress will Stoneman Douglas kids vote out of office? or even NRA s in FL legislature?

That's all that counts towards implementing Federal gun regulations.

Black school students in Missouri walked out Tuesday in protest of school slaughters and gun insanity, were then locked out, and denied school bus rides home.

Missouri racists don't Compromise

We just learned that the school shooter carved swastikas into his gun magazines. And he hated Jews, African Americans, and immigrants. Can we talk about this?

How do you know they're mentally ill without due process, Chris?

Explain how this works.
