Since what happened on Saturday would be considered a mass shooting event why hasn't there been a massive call by the usual suspects regarding the need for more background checks, gun control legislation and other anti-2nd Amendment legislation. Could it be they are ok with what happened on Saturday? We have been told that "Silence is consent"
This is my last Vanity for a while. Thank you for your patience.
Biden gave another gun control speech this week
Time to add “holstering your weapon” to class to get your first gun license.
Good point. I’ve seen very little push from the drive-by media for gun control since the assassination attempt. Some, but not nearly as much as they usually do.
Good catch.
Although I have seen a snide version of it a few times from lefties. Usually sentiments to the effect of saying “see, guns are bad. mmkay?”
Because it’s an election year and the policy is a certain loser.
Because the target was their enemy. That was for the good of all of us.
Because many far leftists are saying, "Hmmm...you mean the crazies are going after Trump with those AR-15s? Maybe they aren't so bad after all!"
We discovered the way to turn the left into 2nd Amendment supporters!
Democrats aren’t supporting gun control until someone gets Trump. After that, they’l.p. support it.
You'd have to be seriously retarded to think the police are capable of protecting you.
It’s there but subdued currently. Apparently, at least in our area, baby killing, aka “right to choose” is importanter based on the carpet bombing of air time for “pro choice” ads.
Very good point. Funny, no calls for gun control. Apparently, a few more of “their” constituents still need AR15s. Oh man...
Ordinarily federal agency workers/contractors usually get a virtue signalling email denouncing violence etc. after a major event like this. This time crickets.
That would elevate the Trump shooting that they are trying to deny.
If their assassination of Trump had worked, they would be talking gun control.
Where have you been?
There’s been all kinds of calls for gun control - it’s been getting leftists fired all over the place.
Hard to think that calling for people to better control their guns would have that effect, but there ya go.

Well, the source of this gun was legally purchased by a Democrat Psych-counsellor (?).
Kid was over 18.
He had permission to use gun.
So, he is following the rules up to now.
And, if there had been more strict gun control, he might not have been able to attempt to assassinate Trump!
I believe when they expose who was involved (and they will) it won’t look good for the Dems.
Democrats never mention gun control during general elections. Only primaries.
It’s a loser policy in the general.
This was a scene from one of the big demonstrations in Pennsylvania's state capital back in 2020 against the government's COVID restrictions. Many of these protesters were armed to the teeth -- because under Pennsylvania law, law-abiding citizens are allowed to carry long arms openly in public.
There's a reason why there was no rioting, looting, or even spitting on the sidewalk during those demonstrations.
Their new position on “gun control” is being able to hit the target.
