Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) says she doesn’t believe “that DC solutions are realistic” for stopping massacres like yesterday’s in Uvalde, Texas.
NBC’s Jake Sherman said Sinema stopped reporters outside the Senate chamber because she “had something to say.”
“This is rare” for her, he added.
Sherman asked if Sinema would be willing to “set aside” the filibuster to force some kind of gun control measure through the evenly divided Senate. Her fellow Democrat Senator, Jon Tester of Montana, waited mere hours after Tuesday night’s slaughter to press for universal background check legislation. “Come on guys, kids got killed yesterday for Christ’s sakes,” he told colleagues this morning.
But Sinema isn’t having any of it.
“I’m going to start having conversations again with colleagues on both sides of the aisle,” she told reporters today, “to determine whether or not there’s something we can actually do to help increase safety and protect kids.”
“Both sides of the aisle” indicates that whatever gun control measure might be considered, it had better have bipartisan support. That means the filibuster stays put.

Do what Israel did to stop Palestinian bombers and shooters.
Arm the teachers and post armed guards.
No more violence in Israel’s schools.
Compared to the last two GOP Senators from AZ, she is a rock star.
Register/ license or give up my guns? Sure damn thing! AFTER you remove your psychopathic children from my world.
Why does Montana continue to re-elect that gun grabber Tester?
Shitlib infestations in Missoula and Whitefish area.
Deal with societal moral decay by bringing back the Bible, or nothing.
She is far better than McCain.
“Arm the teachers and post armed guards.”
Bingo. If we can put armed guards in every bank, we can put armed guards in every school. Otherwise, we, as a society, are saying that our money is more valuable to us than our children.
Universal background checks?
Uvalde shooter must have passed it for his rifles, legally bought.
No kidding.
She certainly is, compared to those NWO RINOs.
Vote-rigging.
I did the Obama 2008-Biden 2020 analysis on Montana, and identified the rigging counties.
Tester is up against it in 2024, after getting a pass in 2018 [non-presidential election year].
The Montana Democrats are gonna have to work to cheat little Jonny Testes back in...

At least on the issue of the filibuster.
AFTER you remove your psychopathic children from my world.
I wish someone would started drawing the straight line from these statist ghouls calls for more gun control on the heels of these massacres with the same peoples’ proclivity to behave like authoritarian tyrants.
No kidding.
The "testes div hilly" percentage is Jon Tester's turnout in 2018 divided by Hillary's turnout in 2016. Such enthusiasm for an off-year "election"!!:
