Donald Trump is the Assault Weapon you should be concerned with.

You're a complete fucking jackass. Why don't you do SOMETHING ABOUT OUR CURRENT ENDLESS IMMEDIATE CRISIS ?!

He is has been such a disappointment!

wow a bill completely dead on arrival? thanks for nothing, don’t you have some trump nominees to confirm or something

It's not going to pass we already know that. And right now is not the time for it when we the people have to remove this regime since the government won't

You are a special kind of stupid, or you’re knee deep in collusion. You know: 1. You will never take guns. 2. MAGA will resort to using them. 3. Senators are not going to arm the resistance. You are not on the side of humanity this time. This is not the issue we need to worry about.

Dumb move, Senator

What is stopping Dems from working together to impeach? Assault weapons should have been banned under Dems...why weren't they? We have a bigger problem now, and you can't miss it...it paints its face orange.

Pretty sure you should be introducing assault weapon requirements for all citizens, to protect from this regime. 🍊💩man needs to be gone. Then we can deal with the rest.

So your plan right now is to waste time.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING? Adam. This is not the priority for the moment omfg.

There’s a stiff wind out of the west if you’d like to go piss into it while you’re at it.

Right now you should be introducing a bill t take away tariff powers from the president.

Read the room

He did. Why do you think he's trying to disarm us for them?

Hadn’t looked at it that way but now that you bring it up 🤔

No you know damn well nothing will come from that.

you suck

I generally support this but let’s wait until Trump doesn’t have unmarked paramilitary orgs sending citizens to concentration camps.

Come and fucking take it

While we agree, and while we are all about nonviolent protesting, and believe the weapons are overkill (no pun intended), given the current state of the administration, ICE bursting in doors unannounced, and active military now encroaching on US soil, some who normally would agree, may no longer.

Could you please start with introducing The Stop The Fascist President Act of 2025!? What you're doing right now, is just like 'playing house'. It's supposed to look normal, but the GOP and The Traitor-in-chief don't give a shit about your normality and decorum. How about STOPPING THE FASCISTS...

yeah dude... as an ex SRA member I haven't seen any of them at protests, armed or otherwise...

I guess, their non-reaction will cost older Democratic leaders and members their seats. Because people demand to see reaction. Now! USA is going down the drain. The GOP is dismanteling citizens rights left, right and center. And Schumers reaction: A stern letter 🤬 What. The. Actual. Fuck?????

My grandpa had "one weird trick" for dealing with nazis and fascists. I bet some of yours did, too. Better ask 'em about it. I can't tell, it's a secret! UWU! :D :D :D

He surely did, my friend.

It’s *now* that you want to remove military derived firearms from the American public?

The MAGAs have plenty of assault weapons. What if WE need some to fight back against their fascist regime. Political posturing doesn’t “cut the mustard”. Can you picture the colonials banning flintlocks before Paul Revere’s ride?

Follow Pritzker's lead, Adam. That is where we are right now. Tell Schumer to step down and take his 'strongly worded memos' with him. It's time for disruption. youtu.be/LaKx_aUpFFY

READ THE ROOM! WE ARE INFESTED WITH NAZI'S. TRY AGAIN LATER.

Don't you think he knows that? Why do you think they asked him to ask you to help disarm us? Why do you think his caucus keeps voting WITH THEM? Put it together, fast.

We asked you for that back when our schools first got shot up, then our movie theaters, then our stores, then our concerts, then our colleges, then on the road, then in the parking lot. But now. NOW. YOU WANT TO TRY AND GET GUNS OFF THE STREET WHEN TYRANNY IS HERE? good luck.. cant wait to watch

Yup. Should have happened the day after Columbine, or certainly after Sandy Hook. They used to always say "It's too early to talk about gun control" Well, now it's too late. It is far too late.

It's ironic that the people fighting to keep assault rifles legal, who cite their own self defense against a possible tyranical government turning against its people, are the same tyrants urging the government to turn against its people

I'm not and my friends aren't :) Fuck the state!

I don't blame you. Your second amendment is supposed to protect you from a tyrannical leader. Circumstances suggest your second amendment and peculiar gun obsession is only a way to kill schoolchildren.

Now? You're doing this now? Holy fuck you people I swear to fucking god

Thank you.

Too much opposition in both houses to pass right now.

All I can say is good luck but make sure All D’s r on board including Schumer ….

The returns are already in: hegseth, RFKjr, bondi, patel & gabbard need to be removed.

Yeah no. I love ya senator, but as a disabled transgender veteran I have the distinct impression that I'm going to need my M-4 in the next year or so. Enough with this performative bullshit Sen. Schiff! You shouldn't be WASTING YOUR TIME on this. DYJ & block EVERYTHING they try to do. Shut it down!

Cum and Take it

Good luck Adam.. but that ship has sailed

It won’t go anywhere, but more and more I agree with them that they need to make the GOP actively fight to protect assault weapons rather than just bury it. Since January, there has more on transgenders playing sports - from both parties - than on school shootings.

having been 1 mile from Santana HS (San Diego) when that happened, been to Columbine, was in Newtown a few days after, and seeing rows of Christmas trees ‘decorated’ with letters from 5 and 7 year olds, written in crayon, to their deceased buddies, on the road to the school, NEVER surrender. Ever.

Wanna surrender right now? Watch. youtu.be/vkM_TDEJxyE

youtu.be/vgb2R37UUz8

Ok, sounds good. maydaymovementusa.org

It’s about damn time!!!!!

How is it possible to be so far behind the ball my guy?

Good job on the hard work assuring that democrat poll numbers continue to come in below trump. The one ammendment MAGA isn't attacking and you fuck wits want to gut it and disarm your constituents while talking about constitutional crises out the other side of your mouth? Fuck all the way off.

Could you stop the fucking NAZIs, first, or is your caucus too busy voting with them?

100% this

He’s on their side. A devil in sheep’s clothing.

I mean - OBVIOUSLY, at this point, too. Rip him out of power.

Schiff is a Zionist, which is worse than a Nazi.

AIPAC and Putin bought America and made it fight.

But you won't end citizens United or Impeach Trump? I'm calling bullshit. You're a NAZI, too, Adam.

Yes he is.

lol

Congress could always grow a pair and remove the traitor

This won't unify more Americans to stand up to the illegal fascist regime..

Should have been done long ago. Better late then never but for todays business...will you vote to remove Trump?

I wish he would answer that because votes do not remove fascist authoritarians. History has repeatedly proven this.

It would be lovely if they did. If we lived in a world where the House has enough backbone to impeach and the Senate has enough humanity left in them to remove him. Sure would be grand.

I am in favor of this. I am surprised by the timing. I am nervous it could backfire. But as a mom who drops off a kid at school every day, I find myself praying—P.R.A.Y.I.N.G.—that maybe something good could happen. And I’m an atheist.

@schiff.senate.gov Why are you introducing the Assault Weapons Ban Act 2025 now? Afraid when American’s protest against cuts, trump, grifting, musk, disrespect of our constitution and laws they may shoot us with them? That’s the only thing that makes sense to me! Give me Liberty or give me Death?

It's interesting that your priority is trampling on our second amendment rights just as we need them because Congress DOES NOTHING to stop an authoritarian fascist wiping his ass with our Constitution

But kinda expected right? They only have the two moves historically.

Indeed.

Democrats stepping on their own dick with attempts to ban guns every chance they have for some momentum is a tale as old as time. I’m just surprised they didn’t do it more when they had the extra support from pro-choice people

Actually, now isn’t the time for an assault weapons ban. Not with ICE roaming the streets

Furthermore, this is the time for people to be actively defending their communities from the fascists. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

Woof...good luck 😬

How utterly useless you are I hope all the money you're making from insider trading is worth it

Maybe you should just reintroduce the U S. Constitution instead of putting little happy face stickers on the deck chairs of the SS Titanic? But I guess you got lunch planned discussing fashion tips with terrorists in the dining room.

How do you find a way to live outside of the historical moment that you're actually in?

I'm beginning to believe you are a trojan horse.

He always was. Could have had Katie Porter — a real fighter — but he fucked her over.

you're so right. he's a wolf in sheeps clothing, at this point i truly believe he hates America & is on the fascists side.

He wants to disarm us now, right now. Okay.

I will not disarm you kapo cunt

👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 THIS

Why????... Like Rethuglicans are going to ban Assault Weapons!... They are as Corrupt as they come!... Disappointed in your actions @schiff.senate.gov!!

Are the heavily armed police gonna have it banned for them also?

Too many pissed off people in this thread. Putting republicans on record opposing this kind of stuff is one thing the minority SHOULD be doing in order to try and reclaim the majority later. It’s done in addition to other obstruction tactics. Walk and chew gum y’all.

bro We Like Guns

But we already know they oppose it. it's on record, like... 100x over. this is a waste of everyones time.

youtu.be/EKnoUbDIpjo?...

How about focusing on that stagflation, chief?

This would get you a vote of no confidence.

Honestly... as much as i would agree with the need, is this really the fight we need to fight right now? We all need to be paddling in the same direction. And that direction is stopping trump from tanking the country. Use your time and energy to get us all paddling in the same direction

Only one thing matters, removing maga from government starting with trump

More waste of time and taxpayer resources. How about you wait until Democrats have the majority? 🤦‍♀️

Maybe we can put a pin in performative gun control legislation until our little FASCIST PROBLEM IS CONTAINED.

Bro, the reason they're talking about gun control rn is because minorities are realizing that the second amendment applies to us, too. they don't want us able to defend ourselves.

That's definitely part of it, like in 1967 when California introduced gun control legislation to counter the Black Panthers arming themselves. In NJ they've made it cost prohibitive to (legally) exercize a constitutional right for anyone not solidly in the middle class.

articles of impeachment would stand a better chance. Or a anti-corruption bill. JHC, the timing of this is nonsensicle.

It makes perfect sense if you want to appear to be doing something while doing absolutely nothing.

You nailed that right to the wall Thanks.

No; it makes the GOP activity refuse, again, to deal with mass shootings. They want most to bury it. They want the Dems defeated to to give up and not talk about the GOP, once again, favoring the gun lobbyists over children’s safety.

Impeachment is a function of the House. They impeach, the trial is in the Senate. Which the first one Schiff lead. Somehow ppl forget that when acting like Schiff is some do nothing.

Really? NOW IS THE TIME YOU WANT TO DISARM US? WHEN THE SECRET FUCKING POLICE ARE OUT HERE AFTER US? ARE YOU FUCKING BRAIN DEAD?

Lol. You have the political instincts of a beached lamprey

You stupid fuck, we're not giving up guns during a global rise of authoritarianism and killer cops. Shut the fuck up.

Good. Impeach the orange jerk first.

Could we get a new Senate leader? Chuck Chuck. Out of touch. Maybe not quite what we need right now? Maybe someone who can LEAD?!

What? How about you opine on the legality of ICE agents cops and troops throwing us in a Salvador in prison? Why don’t you come out and say this is illegal and the people doing it will be prosecuted?

Why haven’t you set up regional offices so we can call and talk to someone in your office? Why don’t you answer your phone? “Sen. Schiff’s voice mailbox appears to be full and they are asking people to use the email contact form. Sen. Schiff has not yet set up regional offices.”

fuck off

This is the last thing you should be focused on right now. Fight for Ukraine. Call tariffs taxation without representation and demand retailers put the tariff on ever purchase. You know all your Senators, The House and the White House are in bed with Putin. Get the fuck out of the way. Coward.

Which will unfortunately amount to nothing. This commonsense action will only happen when Dems have control. However, as Trump has now proved, Congress doesn't matter, as the president can wipe out anything with a black marker signature. Feeling defeated. Why can't Dems obstruct like the GOP?

Dems would need control of the Supreme Court. They would take this and use it to say such laws are unconstitutional

They are. I'm keeping mine, thank you. A government that is trying to actively disarm its citizens absolutely cannot be trusted.

*the government actively planning to kill American people, and is currently deporting US citizens to death camps.

lol it is common sense to disarm the public when the government is sending plain clothes forces to grab people off the streets to send to concentration camps. No this is the time guns are needed the most

I can think of something your constituents want to see more right now. Deal with the weapons later, when the Nazis aren't in the White House, man. Proposing a ban on assault weapons now is like looking Hitler in the eye and saying, "Yeah but you gotta shave the mustache."

The time to act was a couple of decades ago. Now it's just a show because you know it won't get through.

Now???

He's a NAZI, she's a NAZI, they're a NAZI, we're a NAZI. Wouldn't you like to be a NAZI too? - Now, in Democrat flavor!

What?

Yeah, I second that...

Mk

Seriously?! We in Europe are looking at so-called opposition politicians like you in disbelief. What on earth are you doing? READ THE ROOM! My goodness!! 🤯 #USNaziRegime

Yah. This is more a time to buy.

Invest in guns, ammo and training. I just joined my local outdoor range.

Dude. Where was it in the last four years when it had, like, a snowball's chance in HELL of being enacted? ACT? You might wanna DuckDuckGo that word, douche.

Stop what you're doing. Put down your phone. We are under tyrannical rule under an insane bloated king. DO SOMETHING NOW! Shut it all down. You are complicit!

Honestly, when we are facing a tyrannical government who has access to more weaponry than we could dream, idk how to feel on this. I’ve always been for better gun laws and responcible owners having to take mandated courses and safety lessons. Buuuut…kinda want access to big pew pew rn ngl

Let's start by impeaching and removing Trump and Vance first.

So you’re going with bipartisanship? I’m sure you’re assuming that dictators want weapons removed from their general public. No one but the approved militia should have weapons. So what is it you’re doing about the coup, the war we’re in? Are you asking Schumer to step down?

"the time to virtue signal for my reelection campaign is now" This has no chance of passing and is really just reiterating messaging that was more appropriate when Fascism wasnt our greatest threat. I wish Katy Porter had thrashed your ass.

That was EXACTLY my thought. Katie would have been a great senator if only the democratic machine muscle hadn't " chosen" Schiff.

Fuck you. Do something real, and right now. We are dying

Impeach trump vance then fired the dui

Seriously? A bill that has no chance when the federal government is being eviscerated? How about blocking all votes procedurally until DOGE is stopped?

And our civil rights being vivisected. There's too much going on here.

Dude I love you and your work, and I support you 100% but right now is not the time for us to disarm!

Impeach/Convict Trump/Vance and get rid of all traitors.

Only if you disarm the fascists first, dingus.

A government that cannot trust its citizens with the means of self-defense cannot be trusted to rule.

read the room you little shit

An Act is not an EO. What’s a Senator to do? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good luck with that. In my 61 years I haven’t seen those stick to the wall very well.

I have to admit I am very surprised you have started to act. I hope it has to do with your constituents. Having said that, I don't think this is the right time to ban any firearms. The Second Amendment is specifically and only there to defend against this exact moment. Against the enemy of state.

The time was actually two decades ago before the daily school shootings. Thanks for getting around to this? I guess?

Thank you Senator Schiff!!!

#RIPGOP

#RIPGOP

#RIPGOP

That's what I've been saying. They r corrupt If u want the gov to return to "We the People," u must support the AOC-Bernie team

😂😂😂😂😂

Bernie is tossing protestors out of his rallies while screaming "Israel has a right to defend itself", AOC lied to protect Biden and Harris as they committed genocide. Stop licking boots.

Give an example of what u r saying I want to see it

They all lied to further genocide, Harris, Biden, AOC. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250429-bid...

Do you not have internet, jr?

U r the one making those accusation without providing any evidence, son I just did a search in the internet about what your accusation & didn't find shit, son Help by providing supporting evidence, my son

Unfortunately it is true, Bernie—a good man—is a liberal Zionist and he’s not changing on that front. he grew up in Brooklyn in the aftermath of the Holocaust, and cannot fully separate the hope and peace Israel represented for those survivors he knew from the reality of the genocidal pariah state.

Actually I should clarify. It is mostly true. He does insist on repeating that Israel has a right do defend itself (countries don’t have rights), and people have been kicked out for disruptions. But I wouldn’t say he “screamed” it

To put it differently: The US had the right to go after the people involved in the attack of 9/11, but that fact didn't give the US the right to bomb innocent civilians in afghanistan, which in the case of israel, it conducted a genocide against innocent Palestinian women & children

yes and if anyone said to me in 2008 in response to criticism of the Iraq war with “the united states has a right to defend itself” after the hundreds of thousands we murdered, I would have called them a fucking idiot hawk and moved on

I hear you but I think that when he says "israel has the right to defend itself," he means it had the right to after the people who killed the israelis on Oct 6, but then he added that that fact didn't give the right to israel to kill innocent women & children Those r 2 different things

they’re all fucking dead. all the leadership has been killed and replaced. the position is a goddamn absurdity

I don't believe you searched for it, lil fella.

I've also searched for said footage before, since this is not the first time I have heard such accusations. But I have not found any. Perhaps something is being blocked on my end, or the algorithm is fucking with stuff.

Here you guys go. Literally just googled “Bernie sanders protestors Palestine” and this was the very first result. Learn how to navigate the internet. youtu.be/9SCs75DqFH4?...

The actual video lasted 2:30 & shows Bernie being interrupted while the Free Palestine flag was being removed in the background. He had no idea of what was going on back there & was trying to finish his speech while recognizing what was going on in Gaza was serious just like in the US Watch it

That's the video being used to claim that Bernie was kicking protesters out while screaming "israel has the right to defend itself" but not the right to conduct the barbaric war Nowhere in that video it shows what is claimed. It appears people are just making stuff up. Pure fantasy

I was trying to help you, son If I had found something close to what u r saying, I would've post it for u But....just BS accusations

Link to the video is in the post (FYI the news doesn’t cover stuff like this so of course you wouldn’t find anything) bsky.app/profile/paul...

bsky.app/profile/john...

And this is what AOC said in the House floor: "...defended accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinian people and advocating for cuts to US military aid until humanitarian relief flows freely in Gaza" www.cnn.com/2024/03/24/p...

U r leaving the most important part out when he said "...but israel doesn't have the right to wage a barbaric war against the people of Gaza" That's what I have always said but inept harris is incapable of saying I guess u contradicted the other fellow

No, you said none of this happened. I just showed you 2 videos showing it did.

This is exactly what the other fellow said: "Bernie is tossing protestors out of his rallies while screaming "Israel has a right to defend itself", AOC lied to protect Biden and Harris as they committed genocide. Stop licking boots." Your videos, even though interesting, don't support what he said

When did I say that it didn't happen. I said that I did a search & I didn't find anything related to Bernie trowing protesters out for what the other fellow said Stop lying

I hope this bill disarms the police and military 🤞

Why is "now the time?" Why is now better than a year ago, 5 years ago, or 20 years ago? When you're at your lowest approval rating ever, what makes you think NOW is the time to push your most divisive, unpopular, and authoritarian platform? ...You guys are fucking this up on purpose, aren't you?

Nevermind that this is the least likely time for it to pass- they'd have better chance at impeachment- unless the Rs ALSO decide now is the time. Which, ya know... They're all authoritarian fascists, so yeah maybe they will be on board this time. Think this is an accident? Dems are fascist-lite.

If the Republicans let it pass, what do you think their motivation would be? Do you think it would be to help or hurt the American people? I'll give you one guess

What about impeachment articles?

The time to act is not now.

Because you know it won't go anywhere?

This is exactly the performative bullshit we don't need right now.

Million times this. Aren't the tariffs more acute? Is it better to wait for empty shelves, public outcry, protests? Insane.

He wants us all disarmed by the time the shelves are bare so we can't do anything about it.

First - this is just a virtue signaling, nothing more. Second - you can protest peacefully. Third - more guns shown on tv, surely more "radical left" to blame. Fourth - you really can not eat a gun or use it as clothes.

First, what the Senator is doing is virtue signaling. Second, protesting peacefully does not shit when you're being extrajudicially removed to a foreign gulag. Third, you can shoot what you eat with a gun and make the hide into clothes.

Sorry, I've ment the senator is virtue signaling, too.

you can protest peacefully tell me how that's been working out for BLM and the kids on college campuses oh, they murdered the kenosha activists and called it suicide? they put snipers on university rooftops? weird, that go fuck yourself.

Peaceful protest works when the people you're protesting against are willing to listen. Now they're more likely to have ICE blackbag you. Eventually being passive is nothing more than self-congratulating while you allow evil to prosper.

It was never about hunting.

Hey maybe focus literally every ounce of your energy on stopping STATE SANCTIONED ethnic cleansing, and saving the people who are being tortured in concentration camps, for every waking second of your life, until it stops, and stfu about literally everything else because we don't want to hear it.

Introduce a Trump ban

Bro now is when we actually need them... Read The Room.

Get fucked suit bitch

50 cal for u

Thank you!

There's a 'Project 25' action that'll make 'em sit up and pay attention!

Dividing Democrats is carrying MAGA’s water: whose side are you on?? Hopeless bills that divide the center-left and center-right farther from the left are DUMB AS F*CK right now. Agreed with @jjatoupolisci.bsky.social . You suck, Schiff. I see what you’re doing.

#LeftPlusCenter wins elections. The Left, by itself, loses. #LeftPlusCenter is the end of MAGA.

Dude. Are you out of your mind? Focus.

That’s great, dont get me wrong. I’m all for this. But how about prioritizing banning fascism right now? Then, everything else follows. We need more action to save our democracy.

Exactly, let's circle back on this.

I'm keeping mine to protect myself against fascists.

This feels like quake-proofing your house while it's actively on fire

Perfectly put!!

Hahaha. Why did get write this when REPUBLICANS control all 3 branches? Was his account hacked? Or he’s just that dumb.

you are going to get all of us killed. you people are so deeply stupid. i hate you.

Right back at you. Seriously.

get a gun, stupid.

a liberal will always blame another normal person before they blame our leaders

Someone who has a fake photo will sell guns by creating an enemy.

is the faked enemy in the room with us rn?

no they just left but they told me to tell you UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

he goes to another school, you wouldnt know him

lmao.

i cannot imagine having such an easy life that i’m not worried rn. it must be nice!

“you’re creating a fake enemy who will also slaughter you” liberals know they are liars bsky.app/profile/chip...

i hate these disingenuous motherfuckers sooooo much. atp it’s pretty plain to see which libs will readily fall in with trump- seems like that guy falls squarely into that camp.

Unsubscribe. Absolutely not the issue we need to be solving now

Fuck off

if you're going to do failed legislation as a performative act do a fucking impeachment

I wanna be clear I'm entirely behind doing failed legislation as a performative act just, this is a garbage choice

I’m glad I don’t ever have to vote for you, my dude, because I wouldn’t.

STOP BEING SUCH A DAMN COWARD

It is easy to condemn Senator Schiff, but not fair. The Democrats have always had to struggle with thin margins and the presence of members who will stab them in the back, like Traitor Joe Lieberman who blocked the public option. The blame lies with those who continue to hand power to Republicans.

This is some crap. Disarming your citizens in the literal bold rise of fascism in your country is not the right thing to do.

Democrats are fallible human beings under constant attack from the press and some of the most vile propagandists imaginable. Until the voters give the Democrats a functional majority not rotten with traitors this is what we can expect. To quote Dick Tuck "The People have spoken, the Bastards".

Until the Democrats earn that majority, they can get fucked

Until the voters pull their collectives heads out of their asses we are all fucked!

And no, I am not and never have been a right winger. I wish the absolute worst for every idiot that voted for trump. I also wish the absolute worst for the people that destroyed the democratic presidential campaign because they couldn't stand to upset the Israeli apartheid state

You are not a right winger, yet you support their cause by attacking the Democrats. Stop living in your fantasy land, take a look at the reality of the consequences we have to deal with because of Republican rule. How much suffering will take for you to finally oppose them?

What are your feelings on Hakeem Jeffries telling people that the discussion around El Salvador needs to slow down?

Am I thrilled? No. Am I still going to support every Democrat I can? Hell Yes!

People are dying and you are supporting those that are continuing their suffering. How do you reconcile this? You know that they will continue offering up lamb after sacrificial lamb to secure their own positions, right? This is why the Democrats will never win. They refuse to stand for anything.

The reality is that until people like Jeffries are brought to task and held accountable for abandoning people to die, no one aside from the self centered will believe in the democratic party. Roughly a third of eligible voters didn't vote. They need to confront the obvious why.

Why is it the voters fault that the Dems aren't giving them anything to vote for? They need to do better. People are not convinced to vote against a greater evil. It has always been this way and always will be. They know this. The numbers show this. Both sides are working together.

There is a clear choice between the Democrats and the Republicans. The voters chose the greater evil. What exactly is it that the Democrats are supposed to do when people knowingly choose fascism?

Harris is for fascism, too. She said as much.

MANY dems are completely comfortable with fascism, so long as they collect their paychecks. Even AOC has said things in support of Israel.

I vote Dem every chance I get. I do community outreach. I try to make the world a better place and my political views are just "have compassion". Many Democrats cannot say the same

Do you? You say the Democrats give you nothing to vote for and that they have not "earned" the votes. When there is a fire does the fire extinguisher "earn" the right to be used. To oppose Republicans you must vote for the opposition.

Passing this bill now, when the time to do so was around twenty years ago, is suspicious. Minorities are in danger and are looking to gear up to defend themselves. Secret police are vanishing people with no warning and no die process. This is on purpose. They're working together.

You know the difference? MAGA doesn’t let people’s opinion stop them; they shape that opinion. Tens of millions of folks voted against their interests because Trump was able to appeal to them. Dems need to step up their game. This mfer is out of touch.

shut the fuck up

Well aren't you special, and so articulate.

shut the fuck up, dipshit

Is this supposed to impress anyone?

The time to act was long ago. But do keep bringing sensible bills.

the time was actually 20 years ago since they're already armed to the teeth and ready to take the country by force, but ok i guess

How do you think this is the ideal time to do this? I am genuinely curious

How about a nice impeachment first?!?!?!?

Everybody that supports you supports this idea but why now? Anything else going on? Anything at all? What the hell is wrong with you guys

Thank you! 👏👏👏

If the Republicans don't want it, it will never pass. If they do suddenly want it, maybe we don't want it right now. However, this bill will have my full support once the authoritarian coup is over and some semblance of normalcy returns.

Exactly this. The REDHATS will want us to give up our weapons. I refuse.

The only "weapons" we need rid of, are the likes of YOU. 🙄

it's a loser

Might need to hold off until 2027, when Democrats control both Houses. We can pass it along with all the Impeachments.

That’s great Senator. Have you also backed the Articles of Impeachment filing? I hope so.

While you’re at it, how about a law that anyone running for a national office, by filing to run automatically gives the IRS permission to release all of their tax returns for the last 20 years?

There’s no chance of this going through, but you could help gum up the works and stop all votes and all support for any Trump administration efforts going to the Senate. Please stop posing and start opposing.

THE FUCK? THIS is your PRIORITY RIGHT NOW? I am all for reasonable gun control laws. But NOT DURING A TIME OF FASCIST TAKEOVER OF GOVERNMENT. 1) WAY DOWN THE LIST OF IMPORTANCE 2) ARMED TRANS PEOPLE MIGHT NOT GET SHIPPED TO EL SALVADOR.

What a total waste of time. Great.

Yeah this will go somewhere. Not like even Liberals are questioning gun control now that the feds are literally talking about funding their own SS and concentration camp network. Not like this bill is doomed to fucking fail in this environment. You're weak. You have *nothing* to match this moment.

Laudable but I disagree on the timing. They’re weak in several key areas, attack them where they’re weak

What a clown. Is this what AIPAC told you to do this week?

I'm going to be honest with you, I don't really feel good about giving MORE of a power imbalance to the government. ICE agents are raiding US citizens' homes without warrants. I kind of want them to be scared when they do that.

I would have agreed 2 years ago, now I’m pretty sure we’re gonna need them to fight fascists, brown shirts and Nazis at home.

You've got uncanny timing. That's totally going to fly right through congress & get signed by the president.

thankyou for this laugh ❤️

May I also suggest you introduce a bill to abolish all militia? They're acting as Trump's 'brown shirts'. I don't foresee this current situation resolving without a world of hurt. Perhaps shut this whole debacle down ASAP?

We have tyranny staring us in the face. Prioritize.

He is - Who do you think is benefitting from all the tyranny?

You're a tool.

Him, this will look great in his election ads

This is why they "lose" and keep voting in Trump cabinet members - we're idiots and they're enemies.

Schiff is benefitting. He’s a snake.

The time to do that was 15 years ago. Do you pay attention to what's going on in the country?

Applaud the idea but we need our repsto do more than performative politics. All the record breaking speeches on the Senate floor, sit ins on Capitol steps, and rallies mean nothing if our representatives keep voting for Trump nominees. Yesterday’s votes for ambassadors were an outrage. WAKE UP.

I hope you run out of pomade.

Failure to read the room. We’re gonna need those arms.

Wow very cool! impeach the orange already

What a stupid time to do this. Why not in 2021, 2022, 2023 or 2024? This is the time to impeach!!!!!

I'm thinking we might need those assualt weapons with the way this government is going. Idk if we can depend on those elected and military to defend us and the constitution.

Really. You can do better than this, Adam. You’re spinning your wheels on a bill that won’t ever see its first committee debate. You ought to be focused on the regime and not on taking guns away from people who might need them if things keep getting bad here.

Banning weapons now that Americans might need to defend themselves or their neighbours against the Gestapo. Read the room, Schiff.

Fuck off, now is not the time for this in an authoritarian regime

Exactly- I'm sure Trump would LOVE to sign this bill.

He knows that his Nazi and KKK supporters have two ARs each, and trans women are almost universally unarmed. This bill could not be more to his advantage.

You are an absolutely braindead intel puppet.

You're joking, right? Assault weapons may be our only out against the Nazis. I've never owned a gun, but I would like to know that I can defend myself against my neighbors if need be. Concentrate on getting rid of them, and then we can talk.

Contact your local gun range or sporting good stores. They’ll probably have info on gun classes in your area.

Thanks, I do have one within 5 miles.

I just hope this is still an item of focus given all the other crap they're flooding the zone with. Death mitigation pretty much is a priority

Did you guys all get a memo from Chuck to distract from how useless you are to submit bills that will never get even a committee hearing? @senategabe.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/r5-t...

Just stay focused on the felon who happens to be president again.

Assault weapons are serving in the ppls house Time Trump goes.

Great! Nothing will happen. Impeach arrest and remove him - Now. yes act now. Do something

Um bad timing Adam, folks on the left might be needing these soon. You and Bernie need to stop planning how to refight old battles you've lost many times and figure out how to win the raging battle against Trump that is going on RIGHT NOW.

Damn, bruh. You keep saying you're up for the moment and then do some stuff like this.

Now is not the time for performances ffs. There is a time, but now is NOT IT. Ya'll really suck at politics for THIS MOMENT.

Is this guy serious? 😰

Impeach him under Article 4 section 2 of the United States Constitution first. Otherwise, you’re just throwing stones at a concrete wall.

Uhh, i am thinking we are NOW gonna need those for the upcoming Trump Civil War. I am gonna ask my MAGA neighbor to borrow his yellow snake flag that he took down after the election.

Civil War and you'd ask the enemy? I'm just saying, he'd be a lot more agreeable after the needed was done. It would also send a stronger message if bits of the traitors were left on the flag, dig?

The enemy of my enemy....

Well, trumps enemies are all our former allies and our former enemies are now his allies so..

Good point.

Really? I’m all for gun control. But, I think we have a little matter of actual personal freedoms. Why don’t you “act” on stopping his executive orders. He’s pissing on everything.

Cool. Maybe also take a minute to call for a general strike?

yeah I'm not giving up my guns with anti-trans violence on the rise

I've liked a lot of what you've done this year. But this timing is truly idiotic. We need to get non-MAGA conservatives on our side against Trump, and you are busting out a performative attack on the 2nd Amendment? Please, what are you thinking? This is why Dems are polling as badly as Trump.

Like, do they have their heads in the sand? Do they not understand what deep shit we are all in? Establishment Dems are still here playing fucking pattycake while citizens and residents are being terrorized by federal agents.

He doesn't give a fuck. He's introducing this because he knows it won't get anywhere. This is beard legislation to make him look like a functional congress critter.

OH nooo Adam is going to DO SOMETHING! We dare you to do someTHING! 🥱. READ THE ROOM ADAM... Go down the thread and read the comments, I dare you!

Why? I am more worried about tariffs and the ongoing fascist coup. Please explain your position on those two items please?

We might need them in the event of a civil war.

Thank you, Sir!

Bro, when your house is burning, you don't point out that double pane windows would lower heating costs. JFC, DEMS ARE OUT OF TOUCH at a criminal level. At some point, people need to wake up. They're ALL complicit.

I'm thinking stay off my guns

Good luck, buddy. [yawn]

FUCKING FOCUS ADAM JFC.
