        "do something!" No not that, something else. No, not that either. It would help to define "something." Leaving it so vague let's people replace "something" with their own ideas. Not all somethings are the same.

        Assault weapons ban, background checks, limit to high capacity magazines, ban bump stocks. Hows that?

        You know a bump stock is a gimmick right? You can use a belt loop and a rubber strap, or even...nothing. bump firing is a technique.

        I own a gun, I dont hate them, they are useful tools. Folks who LOVE guns need to relax. When we put limits on swords, NO ONE yelled "they are coming for our butter knives". We need to change the "gun loving" culture, to a more reasonable tone

        We protect our beloved banks & celebrities with guns. Why not protect our children in the schools with guns?

        And when is Jimmy Kimmel going to figure it out?! Trump doesn't give a shit! He was bought by the NRA! What do you think the conversation was?! We give you money to help with your election process, in return, you back us and the gun laws and don't change them!

        Why didn’t Obama give a shit when he had a full control of Congress and 60 votes for control of the House and the presidency. Why don’t you ask yourself why he didn’t do anything about this!

        Great start @jimmykimmel...but how about you make a plea to the President to put an end to the murder of the hundreds of thousands of innocent baby fetuses caused by abortion each year in the United States?

        Until we elect a DEM who will work with Trump rather than a policy of HATE TRUMP ...we won't see anything done except him selling out to his establishment Republican base.... that's not what Trump wants...but DEMS are afraid to deal!!

        Maybe we should vote out all politicians who accept money from the NRA and Planned Parenthood. It won't stop non NRA people from killing and it won't stop PP from killing, but maybe it makes the right kind of statement.

        Lol the NRA could go away tomorrow and there are still 10s of millions of gun owners who will never hand them over....

        Of course! Because its the constitution that protects arms rights, not the NRA. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the argument that the NRA kills people so we should vote out their sympathizers, while at the same time defending planned parenthood, which actually kills people
