On April 25 California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom used a tweet to call out the NRA and suggests lives being saved by gun control.

His tweet came on the same day Breitbart News reported that the NRA had launched what promises to be the first of many lawsuits designed to challenge California gun control laws. The Los Angeles Times reports that the NRA has a “series” of suits planned now that Neil Gorsuch is seated on the Supreme Court.

Newsom’s tweet appears to be an attempt to convince the NRA that gun control has already won the day. He wrote:

Hey Gav!

What percentage of homicides are committed in “gun free zones”?

That is NOT what “calling out” the NRA looks like.

The NRA Convention is in ATL this weekend...maybe one of
the rare times it will be safe to be in “the city too busy to hate...” or whatever.

Newsom is absolutely correct.

A lot of criminals and thugs are alive today because of gun control.

I hear they are trying to fill holes in the oroville dam spillway. I nominate Gavin Newsome to step up and cement himself into this process.

Oh, good. Gun control won. Now, Gavin, you can have your security staff give up their guns. Oh, and while you’re at it, you can give up your security staff, since we’re all so much safer now.

Gavin Newsom (”Any Twosome Newsom” as Savage calls him) went form SF Mayor to Lt Governor. He set his sights long ago on the CA Governorship to be followed by a bid for the U.S. Presidency.

He’s as Leftist as they come. No principles, just more government and more LGBT.

His problem is he’s a guy (the Left is generally anti-male) and he’s white. Two strikes as far as the Lying left is concerned. I hope his plans fail unless he converts, becomes a Christian, and becomes a Constitution-loving fighter for freedom. Not likely but anything’s possible. Until then, we should stand opposed to this Enemy in Waiting.

I still find it hard to believe that Kimberly Guilfoyle was ever married to Gavin Newsom.

My brother is down there from Connecticut working security with a private contractor. He couldn't get over the size of the event. The gun show has every gun imaginable and takes up an area the size of 14 football fields. I wish I went there with him.

‘Course he said this from behind his phalanx of armed bodyguards.

Nice!

We've got other plans to be in the near-by mountains so otherwise I'd consider venturing into the cesspool known as Atlanta to check that out.

It’s good Kimberly Guilfoyle divorced him.

I’d ask, “What percentage of HOMICIDES are committed by LEGALLY LICENSED, law abiding, REGISTERED gun owners?
The “gun grabbers” do put a lot of effort into dis-arming the LEGAL gun owners, but seem to ignore the existence of the Chicago type gun shooters.

A right not exercised is a right lost. My recommendation? Everyone should go buy a gun.

And I’d respond: Where in the Second Amendment do you find the authority for licensing or registering gun owners or their firearms? Using their terms gives them legitimacy in the argument - cede the gun grabbers no such ground to stand on to make their argument. Make them define their terms and don’t accept those definitions as legitimate due to no such Constitutional authority.
