In the immediate aftermath of the Louisiana movie theater shooting last night, Governor Bobby Jindal and numerous other figures took to the media and urged America to pray for the victims and those affected. In the midst of all this, BuzzFeed News editor Rachel Zarrell tweeted out her frustration with gun violence, but then, she tweeted a message that struck a negative chord with viewers:

(TWEET-AT-LINK)

After a responder suggested that it might not be the right time to politicize the tragedy, Zarrell doubled down:

Funny I didnt hear this idiot tweet for gun control when 10 blacks were murdered in Chicago last weekend, guess that ol black on black crime doesn’t dignify that response

10 dead 34 wounded last weekend in Chicago.
That happens almost every weekend.
They have more gun control laws in Chicago than almost anywhere.
Don’t seem to be working.

The thing is criminals break laws.
That’s what makes them criminals.

Gun control laws are solely to disarm the citizens so they are not an occupational hazard to the criminals. Both inside and outside goverment.

Of course she did. And there are tens of millions like her. And they’re not all Democrats.

Bring it on bring it on bring it on. Let Obama and his minions just TRY to impose gun control. If he really wants a civil war, let him try New Orleans-style house-to-house confiscation. Bring it. Let’s get this over with now, so my grandchildren so not have to suffer this tyranny.

What is actually needed is an end to gun free kill zones.

They operate close to us in Hollywood. A bunch of pussies if you ever see this group who work there. My Filipino bud even yelled at one of them to “why don;t you shut your trap you whiteboy faggot”. being a bunch of liberals with liberal white guilt, they couldn;t answer until he made one of them cry..true story.
