Exaggeration is a tool of the desperate, when logic and reason fail -- appeals to emotions via exaggeration and grandiose imagery and claims are all that remain...
People really don't see the seriousness of this unfortunately.

GODDAMMIT METAFUCHS your title is a bald-faced LIE.
A Democratic senator on Wednesday launched a filibuster to force a vote on gun control legislation three days after 49 people were killed at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy said he would remain on the Senate floor "until we get some signal, some sign that we can come together," as he also evoked the Newtown school shooting in his state in 2012. His plea came as presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would meet with the National Rifle Association about the terror watch list and gun purchases.
ABOUT THE TERROR WATCH LIST and allowing people who were once on it to BUY GUNS.
NO-FLY people are allowed to BUY GUNS.
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE PUSHING
Not "taking away your guns." Jesus you people never stop with the lies, do you????
They want a consensus on SOME FORM of control over who is allowed to buy guns......
PERIOD.

For some reason, I feel civil war in the air.

The job of Congress is to represent the will of the people. The majority of the populace feels something needs to be done about all these mass shootings. So aren't these Senators actually doing their job by trying to force a discussion on the matter? It's clear that all the thoughts and prayers arent doing jack to curb all these American deaths. So maybe, just maybe, it's time for both sides to come together and put forward some solutions.
