WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed a wide-ranging gun control bill Wednesday in response to recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, that would raise the age limit for purchasing a semi-automatic rifle and prohibit the sale of ammunition magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds.

The really outrageous thing is if measures like these had been passed months, or years ago, that Uvalde 18-year-old would not have been able to buy two AR-15s., and maybe that Texas school massacre would not have happened. But the laws were not in place and 19 children and two teachers are dead. The gun industry must be held liable for the ongoing gun carnage in America.

Way to go House. Sadly, we're going nowhere with anything because hey, lets face it Republicans dont' mind dead kids as long as they get to keep their guns to get ready for the civil war to MAGA and kill all libs.

Am I exxagerating? Not much, really.

@MistyCee We the people will have to force Republicans in the Senate to act on gun safety laws. The Senate R's are being bribed with gun industry blood money. I think it will take a campaign of non-violent civil disobedience actions to make them say uncle.

@badminton Sounds romantic, but I don't think it's going to work.

I get the money issue, but they're in office and getting the money because so many voters don't mind death and violence, or for that matter, lies and corruption as long as they're "winning" and someone else is suffering.

@MistyCee You may be right. However, there is a chance that people are waking up to the reality of gun violence and realizing the next victim could be themselves, their family, friends, anyone. Thousands of people are killed by guns every year in America and it's getting worse. I can only hope and pray there are enough sane people around to put a stop to the murderous gun plague in America.

@badminton im hoping and praying too, but I don't see a solution to selfish, shortsighted, stupid, scared and mean voters.
