Lot of these posts are hypocritical. Shootings have been happening in the US for decades and BOTH parties have failed to pass significant/meaningful gun control legislation even when they held majority and/or control both congress and the white house. It's not just Republicans. We are ALL failing out children.

Principal, you must live in an alternate reality then. Im talking about a practical steps, abolishing the filibuster, which the dems can do, but choose not to. And you're telling me about shaming Republicans and their voters punishing them and what not........I guess when there's a glitch in your reality, you deflect.

Agree. Same with Roe vs Wade. Could have been codified into law long ago.

I agree, but additional regulation need to comply with the 2nd ammendment (or at least the current understanding of the court on that), or the 2nd ammendment needs to fall.

Do you think any of those will happen?

Blame Newt Gingrich; when he became Speaker in 94, the GOP stopped being willing to compromise on pretty much any issue. Since then, both parties have taken that approach and virtually no meaningful bipartisan legislation has been passed.

I agree that this is a bipartisan issue but our government fails to act due to the heavy influence of gun lovers in this country, which strongly leans toward one party. We need to address gun regulation and safety if we’re going to address this issue and that hasn’t been possible due to this large influence.

Been seeing this guy for 1 year now. I just became an American citizen so have been getting more into politics. I lean left but the guy I’m seeing leans more conservative. He treats me so well and we get along great. Yes we disagree about topics but have respectful conversations and have both become more open minded. He doesn’t think it’s an issue. I feel like the media and the judgement of dating someone on the right is getting to me & making me have negative sabotaging thoughts. Any advice?

Hi all. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and it’s been hard to heal with the ups and downs of a very competitive sales position in the current market. Before taking FMLA for 12 weeks I was a top performer. Any advice from those that also live with bipolar disorder, or advice on a potentially a less stressful position to ease out of sales? I have 7 years healthcare sales and 1.5 years as a MLO.

I lost a sibling to suicide a couple of years ago and the idea of her dying because I failed to help destroys me.
