A lot of people do not succeed on their first run for president. Beto may still turn out to be the fresh, young candidate the Democratic Party needs.

My new solution that I thought of about an hour ago: Make all semi-automatics illegal. Anything that reloads with it's own recoil is against the law. Everyone can still hunt ducks and deer and whatever else you want, it'll be with single action weapons. No pissing about what constitutes an "assault rifle" or anything. Same rules for pistols, too.

It was the most meaningful thing that I've ever heard a politician say on the subject of gun violence. You bet your ass I'm going to mail a check to his campaign this Saturday. All Democratic politicians need to be doing what Beto just did.

I was watching the conference earlier (I was at a restaurant, I did not have a choice) and noticed the coverage suddenly break away. I wonder if it was at this moment ...

fwiw for those that have noticed I haven't posted since this incident: I've put myself on Double Secret Probation from posting.

I'm sure you already know this, but bed in a dark room with an ice pack on your head is the only answer for migraine. Hope you're better soon.

Better yet have the feds take over all gun sales.And only have one gun store per state.And all guns will have to now be all neon pink for safety purposes. You'll still have your so called freedom but like abortion you'll just have a lot less of it.

Tickles me when whiny, right-wing bobbleheads squeal and weep about 'politicizing' anything.

Ain't you all, you know, politicians? You get as pearl-clutchy when you see a cook chopping vegetables too, idiot creatures?
