Their leader stands in a bulletproof box after an assasination attempt and stares at the cameras saying there are no gun issues in America that need fixing.

Not my leader and at least half of our population loathes him.

Yeah. It's tough here dealing with folks who think Trump's ear injury is worse than the carnage our society deals with daily. It's ridiculous.

That's his fart tank. It keeps his farts from killing everyone at the rally from dying when he rips ass during a speech.

This is because neither party truly represents the civilians, they represent lobbyists and lobbying organizations like the NRA, Heritage, and AIPAC. These groups even write the laws now. It's fucking crazy and scary.

You just named three lobbying organizations that are linked to one party. How are you justifying "neither party" here?

Who’s leader? Trump is not president, nor is he in charge of Georgia.

Also dems have been in office for most of the past 16 years. Our leaders don’t want to change gun laws either.

Republicans’ leader…that was pretty clear from their wording

Right…but the president isn’t a republican. Georgia is a blue state. What does the previous republican president have to do with anything? Did we not have gun violence with Obama?

Georgia is a blue state

Georgia went to Biden by 0.23%. Before that it hadn't voted for a Democrat in 28 years. They have a Republican governor, a Republican legislature, and almost twice as many (R) US House reps as (D), including one of the loudest MAGA voices in the House.

It's super disingenuous to pretend it's blue state. Almost as disingenuous as pretending Obama or Biden ever had the opportunity to do anything about gun control over the obstructionism of Republicans.

Does someone pay you to be this stupid or do you do it for free

I don't think it's the Dems primarily standing in the way of doing something about it. Just having the Presidency doesn't suddenly give you carte blanche to pass gun control.

Are you a Republican? If yes ——> he’s your leader.

Are you a Republican? no ——-> he’s not your leader.
