And unfortunately, one can't blame it entirely on the Republicans either. As with so many other causes, Obama's team didn't try as hard as they could have. “Trying harder” is certainly a thing that would get Republicans to vote for reasonable gun laws!

I think Trump actually doing something wrt gun regulation is a "only Nixon could go to China" kind of thing. The only way way Republicans would even get close to cooperating is if a Republican did it. And his approval with authoritarian chuds isn't going to drop no matter what.

Obama could have executive ordered this bump stock ban and could have executive ordered the military to not purchase guns from any manufacturer that makes them for the home market

Meatball posted:Couldn't they set it up so that departments that come under budget could be guaranteed no more than a particular cut (like 5% of what they saved) and the remainder of the money go to workers as a bonus? I have a feeling making what is potentially a significant monetary bonus subject to something that far removed from the employees' control would not go over well.

I don't mean to be combative, but I'm passionate about this. Apologies if I come off like a dick. But how much harder, exactly, should they have tried? What could they have done to get a Republican Congress on board? "If you go for our gun reform plan, we'll sign your 'Literally Execute All Poor People and Feed Them to the Rich' plan?"

Why doesn’t he take senior members to task on the same question when they vote for multi-billion dollar increases to military budgets that Trump requests? And somebody needs to tell him how we’re gonna pay for it: we’re gonna use rich people’s money, same method you used for that vacation home.

That’s about the size of it, I loving loathe that hypocrisy. Obama is an enormous, glaring example of this. Ostensibly liberal, but incredibly loving stingy with giving money to the poor instead of the war. So what the gently caress is wrong with you?
