Democrats are using the mass shooting in Colorado on Monday to renew their push to eliminate the filibuster and pass new gun control legislation.
Prominent Democrats said the Senate must eliminate the filibuster in order to push through new gun control laws in response to the killings. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Rep. Jason Crow (Colo.), Rep. David Cicilline (R.I.), Pennsylvania lieutenant governor candidate John Fetterman, and Pennsylvania Senate candidate Malcolm Kenyatta all called for the filibuster to end in the wake of Monday's attack.
"Things won't get better until Democrats get rid of the filibuster and finally pass gun safety legislation that a huge majority of Americans support," Warren wrote on Twitter. "What are we waiting for – another tragedy?"
On Monday, a man who has been identified by police as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa began shooting people at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. He murdered nine customers and Boulder police officer Eric Talley before surrendering to authorities. He was charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder on Tuesday.
Warren and the other Democrats argued that Alissa's attack justifies getting rid of the filibuster. They said it is impossible to get the 10 Republican votes needed to pass new gun restrictions under the current rules. Instead, they want the rules thrown out so that they can pass such measures as background check expansion and gun bans without the need for any Republican support at all.
President Biden also pressured Congress to pass new gun control legislation on Tuesday during a public address in reaction to the Boulder killings. He called on the Senate to pass the two gun control bills that cleared the House in early March and to implement one of his key campaign promises, a ban on popular firearms like the AR-15.

If they pass HR1 and the gun grab bill, we’ll see. I know for a fact that Ted Cruz and Rick Perry are on board if things get bad. Abbott himself has already said that we will not comply with unconstitutional laws from DC (with regard to 2A at least).
2A bump for later....
Pretty amazing if we end up losing our Constitutional right to protect ourselves with firearms because NeoCons destroyed Syria for the perceived benefit of another nation in the region (which shall go nameless).
Speak for yourself Chunky. I’m over 60 and can outwork, out-think and out-shoot 90% of our population, including those in uniform.
I’m not. Why would anyone?
They consented to be LOCKED DOWN for over a year WHY in the hell do you think they would take a stand on the government being fascist??? Just Askin!!!
It’s for our own good.
And the train station ahead has showers and rest areas.

Disarm democrats, and all the problems go away.
Not on this planet.
Only a huge majority of the power hungry elite who want to run everything without any risk of being challenged.
“Never let a good tragedy go to waste.”
-Some leftist or other
“I’m cool with Democrats killing the filibuster so long as we don’t reinstall it when we have the majority again.”
Bingo.
The democrats won’t keep the senate for long.
If they end the filibuster, all the socialist crap that they put in place over the years can be repealed.
If they kill the filibuster they’ll have to go all in and start adding new states.
Leftism is easy!
Who’s consenting? They’re doing it no matter what you think.
Re-edit:( should be)
If you use a gun in self defence of life or property the government will know who to target. All they have to do is sit back, allow crime, and then prosecute the gun owners.
Q. If I have eight guns, and the government takes seven, then how many guns do I have left?
A. 15. I lied about having eight guns.
Democrats have become a severe burden upon the lives and freedoms of everyday Americans.. And a waste of Gods air... :(
It's well past time that we take the bull by the horns and set things straight...
