Any of y’all going to see Matt Gaetz in Jay at the Community Center tonight? I’ll be there. Not sure how these things usually work out but I really have a question I’ve been posing to our representatives (Gaetz, Rubio, Trump) via email for about two months now and I haven’t received any real responses. So maybe I’ll get to ask in person tonight.
For two years the Republican Party had control of the Senate, the House, the White House and Conservatives held an advantage in the SCOTUS. They had basically all of the federal power that We the People of the United States could have voted to them. They had everything. They even had a giant monopoly on the state legislatures, for whatever good that could do at the federal level.
So why the failure to advance our GUN RIGHTS even one iota at the federal level during that time? The Democrats have made it clear over the last six weeks that gun control is their priority and they are going to throw everything they can at the wall to get something to stick. Whatever doesn’t stick will be picked up and thrown again. The Democrats control only the House for the last six or seven weeks and nothing for the two years prior, yet have been on full offense the entire time. The Republicans have been on the heels playing defense, and now have lost the initiative and ability to govern by mandate and get something passed as an advancement, a bulwark for our natural right to self defense, our 2A right. They had two years to WIN progress, and they didn’t even make a significant attempt.
I could (and may) also make this point about guns AND immigration, because I fear the racial and national demographic shift has already occurred and is now irreversible because during the last two years, the Republicans did nothing but play defense. Poorly.
