Finally! The GOP Has a Plan to Deal with Mass Shootings.

Maybe I’m missing something here, and maybe I’m not. But when two of the worst mass shootings we have had recently both take place in Texas, the pro-gun noisemakers have no choice but to come up with some kind of narrative which will go beyond the usual ‘thoughts and prayers.’

A year ago, 22 were killed and another 18 were injured when an 18-year-old walked into an elementary school in Uvalde, TX and began blasting away. This past week, a 33-year-old turned an outdoor mall near Dallas into a shooting gallery and before he was shot down by the cops, 8 people were dead and another 7 were injured, all of the latter may survive but maybe not.

In the ‘olden’ days, like maybe two or three years ago, there would be a bad shooting somewhere and this would be followed by a hullabaloo from both sides that would last a couple of days. The libs would say that we needed to pass better laws, the righties would say that we need to enforce the laws we already had on the books.

But now the current narrative on both sides of the gun debate is all about finding ‘solutions’ to the problem of gun violence, and the appearance of the word ‘solutions’ marks a new phase in the gun debate.
