It's not a full solution, but it's more of a solution than "thoughts &
prayers."

 AT>  JT> No, they're not. They're bashing conservatives who offer nothing more

 AT> It's idiotic because Democrats often do the same thing. Congress is split

Congress is split almost evenly between liberals and conservatives, too.
Imagine that. On the whole, though, Democrats are much more open to
meaningful solutions.

 AT>  JT>  AT> Nobody ever
 AT>  JT>  AT> said that "thoughts and prayers will prevent more shootings."
 AT>  JT> That's the inference when that's all that conservatives ever offer up
 AT> Democrats have said it plenty of times too. Joe was just saying "God

Joe also called for meaningful gun control laws to be passed.

 AT> I didn't watch the news that day when a Republican suggested using

Pretty much all of them.

That was during a pandemic.

 AT>  JT>  AT> Democrats rejoiced with all the church closures
 AT>  JT>  AT> from the pandemic.
 AT>  JT> [REDACTED]
 AT> Cuomo loved it. He took his fight (against God) to the US Supreme Court.

Church services are not essential services.

 AT>  JT>  AT> Republicans do is offer thoughts and prayers." That's more than 
 AT>  JT>  AT> Democrats have to offer.
 AT>  JT> [REDACTED] Weren't you just complaining about a Democrat gun
 AT>  JT> control-bill, or at least the distorted version of one that lives in
 AT>  JT> your head?
 AT> The house bill says that you've got to be at least 21 years old to do a
 AT> mass shooting. That's not as good as "thoughts and prayers."

It's far better. "Thoughts & prayers" are worthless platitudes.
