It's not even that, it's just Elise Stefanik, a completely shameless grifter who cares about nothing but her own aggrandizement, seeing an opportunity to demonstrate fealty to Trump. She sees the end of Mike Johnson's speakership coming around the corner and is already campaigning for the job.
For a time. But if you made it illegal to transfer a firearm by any means and set up a buy-back program where when gun owners died the government would claim the guns and provide fair compensation to the estate you could get rid of the guns without taking anyone's guns away. It would take decades, of course, but every day there would be few guns out there and, importantly, the young people that commit most gun violence would be the people with the hardest time getting and carrying one. You can't expect we'll solve a problem that took decades to metastasize overnight anyway.
So there are solutions. That's just one. We don't solve this problem not because we can't but because we don't have the will to.
How about we just get rid of "private sale" exceptions to background checks in states like Tennessee to slow the tide of guns flowing into the black market?

Kayleigh McEnany actually seemed to correctly diagnose the problem. I was shocked. And then she started in on her solution:
Tomorrow, I want the House of Representatives passing legislation for men to pay women child support from the moment of conception, legislation to make the child tax credit apply to the unborn
Her solution to the vast majority of Americans rejecting GOP 'fetal personhood' extremism is to... go right back to trying to shove fetal personhood in through a back door. They really do think everyone else is even dumber than they are.
"None of these really good election results have anything to do with Joe Biden in 2024. Except the results that we can spin into being bad for him, those matter."
