Current Events > Democrat congressman blames McConnell for California school shooting

(+) Yeah! (+)

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, is to blame for Thursday's school shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, Calif. after he stalled federal legislation that could have prevented the tragedy, claimed Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y.

"What I hear from parents is they're mad as hell and they are frustrated that the people in [D.C.] aren't doing anything. And I want parents to know I hear that," Maloney told MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."

"Youre right to point out that 100 feet that way [from where I'm standing] is the House Chamber where multiple important pieces of gun safety legislation have been passed," Maloney went on. "A couple hundred feet that way is the Senate Majority Leader's office where he has bragged about being the 'Grim Reaper' and killing all of those bills, without putting them on the floor, without coming up with his own version."

Now I've seen it all

Maloney full of bologna

Mitch McConnell retreats in to his shell

This really isnt a way to make McConnell look good

aka Cocaine Mitch aka Moscow Mitch is a traitor and coke head

Bump

He's not wrong.

so wait. their blaming him for striking down a universal background check bill for causing a school shooting in california..who already has universal background checks in place anyway?

The only person responsible for a school shooting is the person who fired the gun.

If a little girl gets run over by a drunk driver, is it the politicians' fault for not making alcohol illegal?

Seems a bit of a stretch to blame him for this when you don't have to stretch much at all to blame him for potentially even worse things.

Massacre Mitch rightfully earned that nickname too.

Par for the course for a democrat to blame everyone else and not put the blame where it belongs. No idea how a background check would have stopped a 16 year old from committing a school shooting.

At what point is it acceptable to hold leaders accountable for inaction and stonewalling?

Coming from someone I have tagged as rape apologist, this statement is even more suspect

No idea why you have me tagged as that but good on you for ignoring the other half of my post.

if only california had universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, magazine capacity limits, red flag laws, a "safe handgun" roster, background checks for ammunition, safe storage laws, etc
---

Maloney said Democrats are open to compromise on a gun safety bill

lol, when have gun control advocates been open to compromise on anything

Another classless Democrat.

McConnell openly brags about killing shit that the House has passed all the time and refusing to hold votes. How can anyone defend that garbage?

So California politicians are blaming other people for their own shortcomings...no shit

Possibly at some point, but of actual relevance you can hold at fault the bartender that did not stop serving a visibly impaired individual.

The point that you are so fervently ignoring is that at eventually we have to start holding people in power accountable for not trying to do anything to stem the crisis the people are facing.

Typical left-wing mentality that only the government can save you.

If politicians are necessary to prevent citizens from committing mass murder, our society is seriously fucked.

Well, imagine a country in which murder is perfectly legal. There has to be some kind of pressure from the authorities to avoid a state of total anarchy where everyone kills everyone. Don't you read Thomas Hobbes?

Then why is California downgrading the severity of several crimes?
You don't get a safer society if you let loose criminals who only get a slap on the wrist.

it isn't as exciting anymore, gets warned/suspended every other week.
personal favorite was the time in which he posted the anatomy of the male reproductive system.

I am hereby changing Maloney's last name to Baloney because if California's numerous gun laws didn't prevent this tragedy, then passing the exact same laws at the federal level is not going to do jack shit either.
---

I wonder which one is more ever since Mitch has become Senate Leader, the number of bills hes killed, or the number of schoolchildren killed.
---

I'm all for blaming everything bad that ever happened on Mitch McConnell. It doesn't even have to be true, I'll still fair, next it.

Note: America is the only nation with a mass shooting epidemic.

None of the other soceities on Earth have this problem.

So the "Oh you want Big Government!" defense kinda falls flat.

What the hell use is the government if it can't tackle an epidemic of mass violence? Shit like that is literally the only reason they justify their existence.

Please explain which proposed law might have stopped this particular shooting and why. '

Oh, wait, Maloney and all the rest of you are just callously mouthing off before you even know how the weapon was acquired.

The law that makes murder illegal.

Universal background checks, red flag laws, no selling to violent criminals

For any given shooting will these necessarily prevent it? No. For any given shooting do having these in place at the federal level decrease the odds a shooting will happen? Yes, very much so.
