And now these same intolerant violent Democrats demand once again that America must disarm. The Democrats are truly scary people.

Before the facts were even known about Wednesday morning’s 7 AM shooting in Alexandria, Virginia, gun control advocates were already calling for more stringent laws.
■ David Frum, senior editor for the Atlantic, called for background checks, gun licensing and registration, long gun permits, limits on magazine size, and restrictions on open carrying of guns.
■ Windsor Mann, a columnist for USA Today, blamed “easy access to deadly weapons.”
■ Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe blamed the attack on “too many guns” and immediately called for more gun control.
We don’t even know yet whether these laws could conceivably have made any difference in preventing this attack. And Frum is already correcting his posts for misstating Virginia’s gun control laws.
After each mass public shooting, President Obama would call for expanded background checks on private transfers of guns — even though not one of the shootings would have been prevented by such a law. Indeed, not a single attack since at least 2000 would have been stopped.
“News” coverage of these events also shows the same knee-jerk biases for more gun control. Guns are often referred to as “assault weapons” even if they function exactly the same as a hunting rifle. Nowhere do the news reports mention whether an attack occurred in a gun-free zone. They never examine the thought process of attackers who want defenseless victims.
One thing is clear. As Rep. Mike Bishop, R-Mich., told WWJ radio in Detroit, “The only reason—the only reason—why any of us walked out of this thing: By the grace of God, one of the folks here had a weapon to fire back and give us a moment to find cover..” . . .

TAKE guns away from liberals. I could live with that.
I think we need sensible Bernout control, now.
Yes, it is tyranny. and I pity the soul whose shadow darkens my doorway with the intent to disarm me.
Now that we’ve whipped our followers into a rabid frenzy that wants to kill you, we think disarming you should be the next step. :)

Yup. And they aren’t trying to hide it.
Guns are the best overall defensive weapon, but not the best offensive weapon to use if you want to cause mayhem. Vehicles and arson can cause much greater loss of life.
Since their call to ban guns is illogical, and members of their community such as Antifa and that Bernie terrorist have demonstrated what they want to do to us, I will view any attempt at disarming me as an actual attempt on my life requiring a deadly-force response.
Come get them.
Perfectly reasonable response when you consider that 93 million Americans are killed EACH DAY by gun violence.
McAwful is the smartest man in any room: therefore, the country has been utterly depopulated at least 52 times last year alone!
Obviously, we need some strict gun laws to prevent this utter depopulation!
(do I really need to say </sarc>?)
