They will also deny that homosexuality (male and female) is victimless and that it doesn't harm anybody.
And everybody knows that Repubs have no clue how to prevent urban crime. Well, the only clue they have is to arm everybody and turn the streets of every large city into the wild west.

They come from straw buyers, from gun shows, from being stolen and they come from outside the state where gun laws are more lax (assuming the state in question has tougher gun laws that neighboring states). Evidently Repub governors, who have the power to convince their Repub-controlled legislatures to enact tougher legislation re: the issues raised above, think the situation in their states is just fine. But if a "Saturday night special" that costs $50 on the street of any large city anywhere now starts costing $1000 because they have become impossible to get, it becomes a loosing proposition to buy a $1000 handgun to stick up a bodega to get $100.

"I have taken my last COVID vaccine without RCT (randomized control evidence) level evidence it will reduce my risk of severe disease," Dr. Todd Lee, an infectious disease expert at McGill University, wrote on Twitter.
Moderna presented efficacy estimates for a different bivalent, which has never been used in the United States, during a recent meeting. The company estimated the booster increased protection against infection by just 10 percent.
Lee was pointing to the lack of randomized clinical trial (RCT) results for the updated boosters, which were cleared in the United States and Canada in the fall of 2022 primarily based on data from experiments with mice.
The USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization to updated boosters, or bivalent shots, from Pfizer and Moderna in August 2022 despite there being no human data.
So the current boosters have not been proven to work, and they have no safety profile.
As for harm, that comes from immune imprinting. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/art...id-19-vaccines#Immune-imprinting.
This article is very pro-vaccine but it is honest about immune imprinting.
While many of us will be able to stage an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 that we would not have been able to 2 years or even 1 year ago, the individual response may vary considerably between people, depending on the nature of previous exposure.
"Some people want to be very exotic and sort of biblical about it, call it 'original antigenic sin,' you know, the idea that your immune system is born with some sin on board already, and you can't go change it back to a blank sheet. So that's not the kind of academic nuance, that's a real thing and a big thing," Prof. Altmann said.
And there was this shocking statement: This was because attempts to develop variant-specific vaccines showed that it was not possible to develop them quickly enough to be of use in each wave.
So we are Omicron like version 7 now, but let us say you had alpha Covid and then the vaccine. You have primed your body to fight Alpha. So when omicron Covid hits your body and your body is used to making antibodies against Alpha, that is what it is going to do, and studies showed that those previously vaccinated or infected with one variant of Covid do worse than people who have not had any vaccine or exposure.
And the one certainty about the virus is that it will keep mutating.

We've established that most Republicans are in favor of the Second Amendment. Democrats / fake media / hollyweird / alphabet agencies (aka the deep state) are not.
So, why do the people who are opposed to gun ownership not focus their considerable efforts on the areas where the vast majority of gun crime exists: urban ghettos and handguns?
Why do they ignore the vast majority of gun crime (committed by, shall we say, democrat voters in urban democrat areas) to endlessly attack. Via legislative efforts, hollyweird movies and shows, fake news reports and more. Comparatively law-abiding people in suburbs and rural areas who own rifles and commit a tiny fraction of the total gun crime?
This is the 4th time I've asked, so let's see if you answer the question this time.

As for Switzerland, the fact that there is universal gun ownership with near zero gun violence shows that the most important factor is what kind of people have guns. As we see on the streets of south Chicago and other urban ghettos every week, sadly.

Posts: 5447The Redrawn Districts Pink Tinkle just voted for more crime and higher deficits again
Reminiscent of the recent unanimous vote by House Republicans to Defund the Police, one of the new Redrawn Districts Pink Tinkle Repub House Majority's first legislative acts led by Squeaker of the House Kave-in McQarthy was to increase crime re theft of American Tax-Payer money, most egregiously by wealthy Repub Party donor tax cheats, and increase the Trump / Repubs' record high deficits by $100+ Billion:
House Republicans vote to strip IRS funding, following pledge to repeal nearly $80 billion approved by Congress
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/10/hous...-funding-.html
Known as the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act, the new House Republican measure would increase the budget deficit by more than $114 billion through 2032, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Why Republicans arent likely to budge on gun control

So I ask again, why is it Repubs aren't doing more to stop gun violence?

That is 7 out of the past 8 POTUS elections.
The only other Party that won more votes than any of the rest since 1988 was The Repub Party, in 2004.
That is 1 out of the past 8 POTUS elections.
And that candidate squeaked into a win on the votes with the historically proven advantage as an incumbent and as a "Wartime President", thanks entirely to a Repub SCOTUS awarding him that incumbent status despite him getting fewer votes than the Dem candidate and his colossal National Security negligence, blunders and lies plunging us into his counterproductive, quagmire Wars in the first place.
Additionally, the most beloved, revered and iconic Repub Party Leader and so-called potus of all time just recently presided over the LOSS of the Presidency, the LOSS of the House and the LOSS of the Senate, to the Dems, in his one, twice Impeached so-called potus term, a triumph of LOSS for Repubs and a WIN for Dems that has not occurred for any Party since 1932, ninety years ago.
That is what I am implying.
