Tfw will be disarmed soon in clapistan while the root cause of kids going insane isnt addressed

...

It's more likely that the gun control debate just causes a harder Republican swing in 2018, in particular Cruz getting reelected. Also Net Neutrality is guaranteed dead now, a House vote will be quietly withdrawn as the shouting match over guns happens. This is the same shouting match that will prevent debates on single payer healthcare and a $15 min wage as well.

This is really why liberals are the worst, we are getting pretty close making serious progressive reforms into the defining 2018 issue but then everyone has to cry about the shooting they saw on TV. The same TV that didn't report on all the teachers' strikes either.
