Dems blast 'evil' Trump team over debate watch party at gun store near GA school shooting

Ahead of Trump’s debate Tuesday night with Vice President Kamala Harris, several Democratic groups issued a joint statement denouncing the watch party. The groups included Voters of Tomorrow, College Democrats of America, Leaders We Deserve, College Democrats of Georgia, Georgia High School Democrats, Young Democrats of Georgia, Path to Progress and Blue Future.

“Just days after students and teachers were murdered in Apalachee High School, Republicans are hosting a debate watch party an hour away at the world’s largest gun store,” the statement said, according to The Guardian. “The Trump team is evil for disrespecting the victims like this — and by continually refusing to support life-saving gun violence prevention policies.”

These fuckheads give gun owners a bad name.

Gun owners give gun owners a bad name. The rest of the world thinks you people are insane.

Fuck guns. There’s a reason murica has more gun violence than anywhere else.

hint

It’s your obsession with “muh legal right to own a gun” and them being so easily accessible in a huge chunk of your country.

A big part of Canadian gun violence is illegally imported murican guns, so fuck you and everyone that supports guns.

Plenty of gun owners are for common sense gun legislation, background checks, mandatory safety instruction, etc. If you want to enact change we need them on our side. What you are doing just creates division and slows any progress we make toward sanity. Mediate your rhetoric.

Don’t care whatsoever, fuck guns, they cause far more problems than they solve.

Fuck murican gun culture especially, idc how responsible you are, nobody needs anything but a slow bolt action gun for hunting. Anything else is just gun porn for losers.

So you “don’t care whatsoever” about fixing the problem you seem so passionate about and would rather winge about it. The rest of us are interested in solutions. You are soapboxing to primarily left leaning people here on Lemmy so I don’t know who you are hoping to proselytize.

Okay, first of all, not all gun supporters are terrible people. I’m a gun owner because I live in a shitty neighborhood that would still be shitty regardless of guns. I don’t wanna get knifed by a meth head and I don’t think I’d be able to go toe to toe with one in a knife fight.

Secondly, the biggest reason for gun violence in the US is more of a mental health issue. If people had access to the resources they need when they need them there would be substantially less violence in general. Stop trying to treat the symptom by adding more guns and treat the disease by giving people the help they need. The US isn’t the only country in the world that allows gun ownership. We just don’t have enough regulation and our health care system is a joke.

Lastly, the majority of gun violence in the US comes from people going out of state to a more lax area and buy guns there. This isn’t just an issue between the US and Canada. It’s between states in our own country.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you. Gun control in this country is abysmal. But blaming and shaming people for enjoying something or trying to protect their family is just disrespectful. Generalizing an entire country based upon one specific issue is just ignorant. I consider myself left but I still own a gun. I keep it locked away and I’m the only one that knows how to get it, but still. If I ever need to protect myself when my methed out neighbor starts busting down my door at 3 AM again I’m going to do it. And fuck you for assuming that I’m some kind of obsessed weirdo that glorifies guns.

I’m sat down with a republican family member and she curses the television every time Trump starts one of his ridiculous rants instead of answering a question. It’s like watching a sports fan lament their favorite team losing.

Wonderful to hear. Hopefully she gets the entire clue someday.

That’s perfectly on par with the republican brand. It’s no secret that every time a massacre happens, republicans get elected in a landslide. Just look at what happened in Uvalde election immediately after the school massacre

AstridWipenaugh ,

“near” is an hour away? Fuck off with this noise. There are actual bad things Republicans are doing that we should be talking about. Not this.

I’m with you on that detail. How far away is far enough away to satisfy people with decorum? Two hours? Six? Twelve?

The WTF here is that a watch party is happening at a gun store, not where that gun store is.

AstridWipenaugh ,

Still though, is anyone surprised that the party that openly embraces gun culture does things that embrace gun culture?

Gingerlegs ,

Trump stands by children being killed in schools?

MyOpinion ,

Sounds about par for the course. They will then go out and work to ban books about living at peace with your neighbor.

Not just ghouls, weird ghouls.

Weird deplorable ghouls.

Not the Little Mermaid parody song I was hoping for.

The gun store is an eye roller. The location of that gun store should infuriate gun owners.
