Looks like the Dems are stretching the definition of the word "compromise" here:

https://twitter.com/AP/status/1536015973324562435

quote:

The compromise would make the juvenile records of gun buyers under age 21 available when they undergo background checks. The suspects who killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo and 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde were both 18, and many of the attackers who have committed mass shootings in recent years have been young.

The agreement would offer money to states to implement “red flag” laws that make it easier to temporarily take guns from people considered potentially violent, and to bolster school safety and mental health programs.

And it would take other steps, including requiring more people who sell guns obtain federal dealers’ licenses, which means they would have to conduct background checks of purchasers.

Basically they agreed with the GOP's idea of doing nothing, but they will still try to run on this as a major accomplishment in 2022.

How many of these mass shooters have any on-record criminal or mental health history at all?

It's gotta be well less than half, right?

Whatever it is, it will drop close to zero if you make it so that any history of getting treated for mental heath issues prevents you from getting a gun

well, fortunately conservative parents have deep misgivings about arming their own children and will generally trust gun control legislation so as long as we trust the system everything hsould be fine

Trump acknowledging problems exist automatically makes him better than Biden. I know Trump did a lot of hosed up things, but I also remember the COVID aid which Biden killed and called an accomplishment. Voting for Trump in 2024 may be the ethical strategic vote

random thoughts while at the grocery today:

* lovely, fatty lamb chops that used to be $3.99/lb tops are now $7.99
:wtf: pass

* the whole wheat bread that used to be $2.99 is now $4.99

* green peppers at $1.79/lb seems high for this time of year; jalapenos are cheaper & taste better

* the corner store near me charges $5.99 for ben & jerry's. The grocery is charging $7.99. I went with the store brand choco mint for $3.50

* the only larger size of matzo meal was gluten-free, and $10/can. :wtf: pass

* except for the green peppers the produce was cheap, like $.99 iceberg lettuce & $1.29 broccoli crowns cheap

I hope they do the same analysis on a July 4th cookout as they did that other time when they bragged about saving a nickel total.

Congressional aides said billions of dollars would be spent expanding the number of community mental health centers and suicide prevention programs. But they said some spending decisions are unresolved, as are final wording on juvenile records and other gun provisions that might prove contentious.

I guess she means that they should focus on keeping their majority after November, by employing such strategies as;

1) Saying "do something"

2) Reminding people that they are big stupid idiot babies if they think things aren't great

3) Whining about 1/6, Joe Manchin, the big stupid idiot babies who think things aren't great, etc.

I'm sure it will go well.

Usually none. Of the deadliest in american history most of the assholes who did it had no criminal records.

"Guns for law abiding citizens" is the same as "let's keep having mass shootings" as a policy stance.
