I'm not American, right, but how the fuck would this ever actually pass? And if somehow it did, how would it not get repealed a week later? Cuz, like, constitution and shit...

Keep a watchful eye on all politicians.
Very wise words.
But it's America, if any of those cunts tried to start banning guns in the USA there could be an actual uprising. Not just a few protests I mean if they actually start passing those laws they'd seriously piss a lot of people off. Armed people.
Maybe it's me that's trying to have a little faith in anyone being voted into office. You are right, I should know better, it's mostly empty promises.
Trust no politician from either main party. They exist to create division and both will increase state power under different pretenses.
“If we can get a consensus on it, if Republicans and Democrats agreed and it passed Congress, I would sign it.”

That is a lot of ifs.
So basically it'd have to be a bi-partisan agreement.
Seems pretty empty to me then given how unlikely that is.
It says a lot about his agendas don't get me wrong. And he's clearly woke af in general.
But it doesn't sound like something that'll actually happen.
If he really respected the actual constitution, he wouldn't sign it.
Agreed.
As I said it says a lot about him and his agendas. I would not vote for this guy even if he paid me.
And I'm not even American nor do I have strong views on firearms. I just believe in respecting the freedoms granted in the constitution of your nation.
He's into the climate bollox as well.
Standard NPC then.
He's an environmental lawyer. It's his bread and butter.
Let me guess as well he's had 10 jabs of the super effective Pfizer vaccine and 10 of the Moderna just to be extra safe and he still masks up.
He is still pro Bitcoin and anti vax. Has been very vocal during covid. I really want to like him but some points make him a big NO.
That's a weird combo. Pro affirmative action, environmental lawyer, anti-guns in the US, but also vocal anti-vax during Covid...
Sounds to me like political tactics and he might not even believe most of the shit he's saying. His researchers told him going woke will get more votes so he did it.
Naw man , he does a lot to hold pharma accountable for vaccine injuries. He's actually alienated himself from a lot of people as a result.
I read his book " The Real Anthony Fauci" and found it very well annotated and informative, even going as far back as the AIDS debacle, and the disgusting behaviour of the CDC towards the treatment of dying (mostly gay) men. The banned effective off-label medications in favour of a shelved chemo agent called AZT, which was nothing more than a death sentence.
He's (RFK) not without merit, that's what has my knickers in a bunch about him. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water.
I'm not sure that he is woke. He seems old school liberal to me , not neo-liberal. I wonder what he makes of all the cultural marxist bullshit.
The sentiments he's sharing on issues such as affirmative action are very very woke.
Whether or not they represent his true views or it's just political games is definitely an open question.
Well all it says to me is he’s not willing to take NRA money.
In fairness , that could be a clever rhetorical play. They will never get concensus, but could win him normie votes in the interim. Politicians do that all the time. Biden said he was going to cancel student debt, knowing full well it would never hold up in the courts, but it made him look good at a time when his public image was in the bin.
He is widening his voter base. He probably has the widest out any anyone to be honest. Too wide perhaps.
Exactly, it feels like a standard political manipulation tactic because the scenario he laid out will obviously never happen.
The other side is still clensing their ranks:
"At another point in the town hall, asked by an audience member how he would use federal resources to slow gun violence, Kennedy said he does not believe “there’s anything we can meaningfully do to reduce the trade in the ownership of guns,” and that he's “not going to take people’s guns away.” He also reiterated the debunked claim that antidepressants are linked to mass shootings, and said—without citing evidence—that we “should be looking at video games and cell phones” and “social media” as potential explanations for gun violence." - Charolette Klein, Vanity Fair
WRT guns, Kennedy is a mixed bag, its apparent he won't defend the constitutional right of the people to secure the republic against a tyrranical coup.
WRT affirmative action, he stated the democrat position on the subject. Either that means he hasn't given it any considerarion, or he truly believes non-whites have a disadvantage against whites.
The left has used accusations of hate as a justification to create protected classes, but all its done is reverse the hatred. The left has made a case that blacks have a special circumstance because of historical slavery, but leave out that blacks weren't the only slaves, and whites were't the only slaveholders.
Until the left says the silent part of their reason out loud, of which I disagree with, they have no justificafion to create protected classes within the borders of this nation founded on liberty and equal opportunity.
