48 people shot during gun control filibuster
Too bad they couldn’t show them all live during the filibuster.
Click here for reuse options!Sen. Chris Murphy staged a 15-hour filibuster on the Senate floor. It lasted from 11 am Wednesday through 2 am Thursday, eventually ending with the GOP agreeing to vote on a gun control bill.
As politicians recounted stories of gun violence before the Senate, there were 38 shootings that killed 12 people and injured 36 more across America.
The shootings began as soon as Murphy took the floor, shortly after 11 am.
Around that time, a man walked into a medical office in eastern Washington, shot his chiropractor to death, and then killed himself.
Moments later, in Cottontown, Tennessee, two men were gunned down in an apparent home intrusion.

People were gunned down by criminals using firearms, not good law abiding folks, but criminals intent on doing evil things. Of course we see in the gun control nirvana of Chicago, there were 7 shootings with 1 dead and 11 injured. Anyone want to bet that the shooters didn’t get their firearms legally?
As I was typing this, I was listening to President Obama’s remarks in Florida. Once again, he couldn’t just be a representative of all of us to the grieving relatives in Orlando, but the usual partisan as he brought up the gun issue as he sees it once again. He can never rise to the occasion and be above all the political bickering on the issue, but remains on the lower level of rank partisanship.

Thank you , now go back to Fox News

Yeah.
Because there’s no such thing as Republican “rank partisanship”.
Nope.(cough*permanent republican majority*cough)
Say, I cut my finger this morning…any way you can blame your duly-elected Commander-in-Chief for that?

Did Ronald Reagan, Daddy Bush, or Baby Bush ever fail to represent us all on somber occasions? No, not once.

All three of those douchebag s did a good job at representing the one percent.
The rest of us got hung out to swing in the wind.

Reagan wanted assault weapons and nukes gone didn’t he?
Don’t think you heard bush-the-non-elected-one

You are fast becoming the world’s worst troll

We’re gonna have to go to court to determine custody of him, considering all the posters that keep owning him…

you’re right M. Dull ron is not just the worst but actually seems to be an advocate for stupid on a daily basis. If his views weren’t so sick, he’d be amusing.

I would say yes – on September 11, 2001.

Rank partisanship: noun, see Republicans.
Larry Schmitt June 16th, 2016 at 17:26
So you would prefer that he toss out some more empty words of “solace” instead or proposing actually doing something, anything, to reduce the killings.

Oh, I can’t just let it go without giving you some “non-partisan” Republican responses to the Orlando shooting:

excellent!
clemans June 16th, 2016 at 21:55
you are so wrong about the President. Add up all the people killed and injured by guns since he was elected President, given two mandates from the public. He was THEIR president too, not just yours or members of the NRA.
Mike June 16th, 2016 at 22:15
I’ll play your comparison game …
So far this year 259 kids (under 11) were killed playing with guns while only 49 were killed by terrorists … you’re exactly right dude 100000000%…..stupid Obama should see that the real threat is kids with a gun

How sad the world is when they reflect on your exceptionalisme and your gunism. There are people dying ahole and evryone of the shot will never breath or smile or play again. You are revolting.

For the GOP, life is cheap (except for abortions)

Part man, part machine , taking care of business…

“Too bad they couldn’t show them all live during the filibuster.”
I am surprised that no one in the television media has picked up on this very relevant and timely information. But then it would only have an impact on those of us normal thinking people anyway, like preaching to the choir. The gun humpers would just mention Chicago.

What would happen when the GOP relations get shot?
