  1. Now Rep needs to get several spineless Rs in OH to follow. Hopefully DeWine can contribute to a change including the strange mind and agenda of Jim Jordan..# mental mess

    1. Yeah…..funny how they send other parents kids to war, they let other parents kids get ripped up by assault weapons at home. But one bullet whizzes by their kids head an now they’re screaming liberals wanting gun control. Hypocrites.

  2. He only doing it because his daughter was at risk. If his daughter was nowhere in sight i doubt he wouldve changed sides

    1. @dave singh Yup, I hope he won’t forget about his daughter as soon as the NRA calls him and offers him a large bribe.

    1. David wolf..correct . It has to come to their door before something is done . But why? They can see it happen to their voters and don’t act then . Shameful . !!

  3. This has been an issue for a long time. He had to have it become personal before acting? It’s been personal for many over the years while he cashed his nra check. Dirt bag.

    1. It’s the logical conclusion to pro-gun ideology; if the lax gun laws result in so many guns in society that even the privileged and protected families of pro-gun politicians are at risk, there will be a backlash.

    2. @David Hale: 🇬🇧 There have always been too many guns in American civilian hands but mass shootings are surely a comparatively modern occurrence ?

    3. BoogieMonstah so what bout the Ohio shooter. Wasn’t white nationalist wasn’t trump supporter? Was a socialist. Was a Bernie warren supporter. Praised antifa. So you see the hole in your argument. Gilroy another trump hater. The transgender school shooters another leftist supporters. How bout the attacks on trump supporters in the news daily. And yet you avoid to condemn those or even acknowledge they are real

    4. David Hale You are insane. We will ALWAYS condemn the prevalence of gun slaughter in your once great country….no matter what the perpetrators politics! It’s hardly our fault the vast majority of atrocities are done by far right nutters….

  4. What does it say about this Republican Congressman, that he refuses to take action on the national problem of sensible gun control, until it affects his family?
    Absolutely pathetic!
    What should that say about his lack of concern for his constituents?

  5. the guns … the hate speech … the NRA …. russian money and influence in our elections … its all part of the same package … we are in a constitutional crisis … law is flaunted … it’s all about greed power corruption … a deploreable lot

    1. David Wolf…Thank you for your Brief and Brilliant Synopsis. It succinctly addresses the factors destabilizing our Nation.

  6. Never, ever forget this point about the NRA: they don’t allow weapons at any of their meetings or conventions……mmmmmmm, say what?

  7. Oh, i see. All it took was your being personally affected, to do something to benefit the safety of the people of this country.

  8. The very first thing Trump did as president?

    Made it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns. He repealed an Obama-era background check law.

    1. those people you say are mentally ill ? , they have hate in their hearts . what needs to be addressed is bully . Pass a bill that bully will be prosecuted for their actions . simply the law protects them and innocent life it’s lost, to a kid’s that cannot get the protection from the adults . that is were this should start. hate ! spread by your leader trump it will take you back to the stone age. lol….. Trump is reversing 100 year’s of fight against rasizm . there for trump has his little hands in this horrible crimes . Now he is gone go visit them ? , !!!!!!!!! no way !!!

  9. Ohhhhhh do now that this republican who voted against bills that could have prevented this is finally calling for action now because his family is threatened by his inaction. Wow.

  10. GOP is knee deep in doo all thanks to their “stable genius” bottom feeder. Their position in congress is in limbo for their lack of action after the shootings.

  11. Simply look at New Zealand’s new gun legislation and replicate it. Simple. New Zealand enacted it amazingly fast and without any soul searching.
