If his beef is taking illegal guns out of the hands of criminals, I’m all for it. If his beef is taking the guns from law-abiding citizens, not so much.
The narrative is subtly changing from ‘gun control’ to ‘gun violence’.
I’m sorry for his loss, but his pain does not trump my rights. Disarmed citizens make the world safer for tyrants and criminals.
I’m sorry for his loss but you could tell this guy was going to ride the gun control gravy train from day one.
Maybe if he had taught his son to use a gun he could have defended himself.
So he must be for arming law abiding citizens to protect themselves, right? "Not one more!"
Utilizing his logic, we should also ban cars because they are often used to kidnap people, and take them to non populated areas to kill them. Furthermore, they are used by drunks, drug addicts, and the insane to kill themselves and/or others. They also have mechanical failures which make them unsafe, they go off the road and kill pedestrians and puppies.
Murder is already illegal. Taking away guns is not going to prevent much in the way of murder. People hell bent on killing others can and will find ways to accomplish their goals.
You will read a few gun control stories in coming weeks. This is not because gun control is a goal for the left. This is fund-raising season for the next election and gun control makes some of the deep pocketed leftists write big checks to the Dems. The Dems would love to have another tradegy or bad event happen right now so they could fund-raise off it.
That’s what you are witnessing—nothing more.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit to find out that the same outfit that wrote Martinez’ spiel supplied Sarah Brady with her talking points as well. Such people aren’t that smart and are only useful as mouthpieces and must have their words supplied to them, like 0bama...
What is gun violence?
Three stabbed to death. Three shot to death. Four shot and injured. Two hit by a car and injured. Exactly why is this liberal nutcase trying to ban guns and not trying to ban knives and cars (rhetorical question - he's doing it to profit from his own child's death, since Bloomberg and similar rich liberals reward those willing to exploit tragedy)?
