It kills me when people just see a headline and don't do their own research. Both sides play the Pork game. The devils is always in the details.

And both sides should be condemned.

That's why I don't belong to either Party.

This bill requires a designated officer of the Department of Justice to act as the national coordinator of an Active Shooter Alert Communications Network regarding an emergency involving an active shooter.

The bill sets forth duties of the coordinator, including to work with state, tribal, and local governments to encourage coordination of various elements of the network. The coordinator must also encourage federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies to establish procedures for responding to active shooters.

Finally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office to study and report on state and local responses to active shooters and situations requiring the issuance of a public alert or warning.

There is no doubt that the Senate will not get an up or down vote on HR 6538. How many more Mass Murders will it take to come to senses of the voters to replace the 169 members of the H. of Rep. who reject any gun control - the gun lobby bribes them and they are happy to spend half the day calling for more bribes to keep their job.

Do you think it was the lack of a call from Washington that stopped the officers from going in at Uvalde?

Would seem you flunked basic civics during your K-12 education.
It is customary in Congress, and many state legislatures, to attach other bills (agendas) as "riders" to the main, titled Bill up for voting to be passed or rejected.

It is these attached "Riders", not directly related but added Bills/Legislation, which are part of the Package, that can cause the main/titled Bill to be voted down, rejected.

The OP, along with general ignorance on many matters, also is ignorant of the nuances by which the USA Legislative Branches operate.

I think that HR 6538 is one step to mitigate the damage, the deaths and the long lasting grief of families. As far as I know the Uvalde officers didn't do their job, not only because they were not trained, they were cowards.

An attitude shared by too many of your fellow citizens which is the main reason both parties can get away with following "their" agendas and not ones that better serve the interests of citizens and this nation.

The major flaw with our USA system of government is the low level of actual, concerned, and involved citizen participation. Which is, should be, more than just voting every couple/few years or so.

Yes I did pass Civics in High School, and graduated with a double major of Poli Sci and US History at CAL. Setting your ad hominem aside, what riders were attached to HR 6538 that made 169 members of The House rejected. All of us know the Gun Lobby bribed them.

You can be concerned, involved and participate all without being a part of the two failed parties.

"All of us know the Gun Lobby bribed them."
Do we?
And you have evidence of this?

They've taken money from the NRA, all while blocking lifesaving gun safety legislation.

As I've noted before, the Republican Party put money in their pocket book before the people they represent.

I'd be interested in seeing how you think this applies, can work, etc.
BTW, those many "third parties" have rather limited effect and impact, if that is what you are implying.

Well the Democrats sure got mad at those of us who voted Green party in 2016 so there is that.

Soros alone gives out more than ten times that amount in his efforts to destroy this country.
