Which makes you wonder since we have so many people that are still below poverty, actual current tax paying Americans. But he is willing to take just under a billion in tax payer money to help fund that.
But back on topic, all of the ideas coming from liberal democrats to curb gun violence is either misinformed or the information is just plain untrue. Maybe using libtards is wrong, but in the end they have not proposed anything that actually makes me think they are using their brain. I know republicans or (inbred christian nutjobs) have come with ideas that help with pre-screening people purchasing firearms and perhaps training before being able to buy a gun. But simply banning certain weapons will not fix the problem.
I appreciate that fact that you served Jeremy, but I wouldn't be so quick to take offence.

As far as what Obama has done, I would argue that the ACA was a huge deal. Obviously it's still a divisive issue, but I'm still a supporter of it.
When it comes to guns, that's another complicated issue. With urban centers becoming more and more densely populated, the likelihood that a mass shooting can take out more people increases. I'm not saying banning certain weapons will fix the problem, but a line does exist on what weapons are allowed. I've heard very little dissent about the automatic weapons ban. When is the last time you heard about a mass shooting where a machine gun was used? Would you want the ban on full autos lifted? I can't say that I would.
As far as the offense goes, I just don't feel very welcome in a place when I hear shit like that. It promotes taking and defending sides, not discussion.
