Senator Mitch McConnell signed up for gun control with Sen. Chuck Schumer after the horrific killings in Uvalde Texas. He has directed Sen. John Cornyn to begin discussions with Democrats, including Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and far-left Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
McConnell wants to send Americans to war in Ukraine, barely mentions the invasion at the US border, and now he wants guns taken from Americans who did nothing wrong.
By doing this, he is going along with the Democrats talking points that guns are responsible for the crimes. It’s not the guns, it’s the evil people wielding them.
McConnell made sure he told CNN on Thursday that they were working on gun control. Their gun laws aren’t even implemented in places like Chicago and New York. The gun law violators get out of prison the next day.
SNUGGLING UP TO DEMOCRATS
McConnell thinks he has to engage in a “bipartisan” effort at all costs.
“I met with Senator Cornyn this morning. As you know he went home yesterday to see the family members and begin the fact finding of this awful massacre and I have encouraged him to talk with Sen. Murphy and Sen. Sinema and others who are interested in trying to get an outcome that is directly related to the problem. I am hopeful that we could come up with a bipartisan solution,” McConnell told CNN.
Legislation to respond to mass shootings and counter gun violence has long been one of the most divisive and intractable policy issues facing lawmakers.
Cornyn said he doesn’t know if they can get there on background checks or other bills, but he did say “this hopefully will provide a new, greater sense of urgency.”
Ironically, Cornyn has also said that he does not want to see the shooting used as a way to infringe on gun rights. At the same time, his ideas do infringe.
“There’s a whole list of things that we can consider, but I think particularly mental health, access to mental health treatment is high on that list,” he said, adding, “I think we need to be open to whatever, wherever the evidence leads us. I would say that this is not an excuse to infringe the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens doing that will do nothing to fix tragedies like this.”
We know what they’re up to. They’re going to take guns away from the retired military who have PTSD, which they have thanks to the uniparty and their endless wars.
SCHUMER THREATENS THERE IS LIMITED TIME
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated that Democrats are willing to give some time and space for efforts to reach some kind of bipartisan compromise on gun legislation, though he has noted the odds are long. He has also made clear that these efforts will not be given an unlimited amount of time to play out.
“We have to try everything. We must not leave a single stone unturned,” Schumer said earlier on Thursday.
Schumer declared that “this is not an invite to negotiate indefinitely. Make no mistake about it, if these negotiations do not bear fruit in a short period of time, the Senate will vote on gun safety legislation.”
He knows November could be a washout for Democrats unless they can cheat their way to success. His time is limited.
Sen. Joe Manchin, a so-called moderate West Virginia Democrat, called the bipartisan meeting on gun reform “very encouraging.”
Make no mistake, there is no doubt that the uniparty can come together to take away our rights.
Our politicians are not working for the American people. They don’t even care what Americans think. They do whatever they want. McConnell spends way too much time in the Senator’s lounge. The octogenarian is out of touch.

McConnell choosing Cornyn to kiss the Democrats’ lower backside was an obvious choice.
Remember that Goliath guy, killed by a rock. Yup, rocks do the same thing guns do, although at a much slower rate. There is no difference between a rock and a gun, they are both inanimate objects, as most everything else produced. They all require the input of a human for them to be useable for whatever purpose. The problem isn’t with the object, its with the human.
More humans are killed with hammers than with rifles every year. Ban hammers! Ban knives. Ban all bats. Ban knitting needles. Ban sticks, (sorry you can only have a stick under a certain size). Maybe we should just Ban Humans!
Evil lurks throughout the world, always has, always will. Life is a constant battle between good and evil. Evil people will do evil things when given the opportunity with anything available, guns, knives, hammers, bats, sticks, rocks, cars.
Maybe it all comes down to who and what is being taught, and who is doing the teaching.
China Mitch’s sidekick Cornyn is no better. A real leader would tell Mitch to get lost. Mitch has no actual authority over any senator, even as senate leader. The senate leader position is not Constitutional, it has no legal authority over anything.
Will Mitch sabotage the senate again, as he did in 2020, and as Ryan did in the house in 2018? He is trying. RINO followers (Faux viewers) have a false impression this problem in the party will just go away. It does not work that way, Mitch must be removed, it takes real men to do that, people to take a stand and risks.
It’s time for Mitch McConnell to go! It’s time for all RINOs to be forcibly retired.
It looks like already worthless RINO McConnell is going rogue just like Liz Chaney. As long as this corrupt turtle is in leadership MAGA agenda dies in the Senate. Any Senator running for re-election, or anyone challenging them in primary must promise, if elected, not to vote for this pos McConnell. That must be requirement #1.
I agree. Mitch has been spending 15 years pushing the envelope as far left as he can while still maintaining his power. Mitch was easily figured out, if one tracked his behavior. Mitch wants a left RINO senate with him as king, or else he wants a leftist dem senate. His behavior has been consistent.
