Democratic Governor of California Gavin Newsom criticized Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) on Wednesday after the tragic mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
At a news conference on Wednesday, Abbott discussed the shooting and said that the shooter “has to have evil in his heart.” He also spoke about the mental health problems of many people in Texas while saying that those in power should try to improve safety at schools and mental health resources.
He specifically pointed to California when discussing gun legislation.
“There are ‘real’ gun laws in Chicago. There are ‘real’ gun laws in New York. There are ‘real’ gun laws in California,” Abbott said at a press conference at Uvalde High School. “I hate to say this, but there are more people who are shot every weekend in Chicago than there are in schools in Texas. We need to realize that people who think, ‘Well, maybe if we just implement tougher gun laws it’s going to solve it.’ Chicago and LA and New York disprove that thesis.”
At a press conference, Newsom called out the Texas governor, and told people not to “give in to the cynicism and all the crap you heard today in that press conference around evil and mental health, [which] completely belies the fact that there’s only one nation on planet Earth that separates itself from all other nations, and that’s the United States of America, in the perversion of a Second Amendment that begins around ‘well-regulated’ gun policy.”

This guy was evil. This guy was messed up in the head. He was mentally unbalanced. How can anyone take issue with that?
And since some places, run by Democrats, have very strict gun laws, why aren’t we supposed to talk about how the criminal element in these places still use guns?
There goes newsome defending his base
“There are ‘real’ gun laws in Chicago“
Newsom really is a special form of a-hole.
Speaking of evil people hit way too close to home for Newsome. He is as evil as they come.
Liberals don’t believe evil exists outside the conservatives in the Republican Party.
If that’s not evil, then what is? (Besides Planned Parenthood).
Newsom is as loopy as his drunken, demented aunt
He’s just criticizing Abbott for diluting the democrat’s anti-gun rhetoric with facts. After all, you should never let a good crisis go to waste.
that begins around ‘well-regulated’ gun policy.”

Liar.
The 2nd uses the words
Shall Not Infringe
Bald face liar at that.
The term “well-regulated milita” in the 2nd Amendment refers to citizens that are well armed and proficient in fighting. Like a well-regulated clock that is in working order and keeps proper time.
++++++++++++++++++
Found the below from “The History Channel” (so not some ‘right-wing-fanatic’ site):
The text of the Second Amendment reads in full: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The framers of the Bill of Rights adapted the wording of the amendment from nearly identical clauses in some of the original 13 state constitutions.
During the Revolutionary War era, “militia” referred to groups of men who banded together to protect their communities, towns, colonies and eventually states, once the United States declared its independence from Great Britain in 1776.
Many people in America at the time believed governments used soldiers to oppress the people, and thought the federal government should only be allowed to raise armies (with full-time, paid soldiers) when facing foreign adversaries. For all other purposes, they believed, it should turn to part-time militias, or ordinary civilians using their own weapons.
‘well-regulated’ gun policy.”

Gavin used a phrase not in the 2nd.
You correctly pointed out the actual words.
AND in context.
Thank you.
My point remains,
gavin is a bald face liar.
Newsom Criticizes Abbott For Discussing Evil And Mental Health After Mass Shooting.
So why is Gav so upset? It’s not like Abbot mentioned him by name or anything.
Ah - now I see what you/Newsom did there.
And how easily it will slip by to the populace. “It’s in the 2nd Amendment!”
The other thing to understand about the original Bill of Rights was that they were viewed as natural rights; God-given rights. Not rights provided by the Federal government.
“There are ‘real’ gun laws in Chicago. There are ‘real’ gun laws in New York. There are ‘real’ gun laws in California,” Abbott said at a press conference at Uvalde High School. “I hate to say this, but there are more people who are shot every weekend in Chicago than there are in schools in Texas. We need to realize that people who think, ‘Well, maybe if we just implement tougher gun laws it’s going to solve it.’ Chicago and LA and New York disprove that thesis.”
Below are how gun laws and Mayor Lightfoot are protecting people in Chicago:
Chicago Mayor Lightfoot defends ‘call to arms’ tweet amid conservative backlash

CHICAGO — Mayor Lori Lightfoot is fending off conservative backlash after she tweeted that the Supreme Court’s draft opinion to reverse Roe v. Wade was a “call to arms” for those in the LGBTQ community.
Conservative figures, including Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., and Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, accused Lightfoot of seeking to incite violence when she tweeted Monday: “To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms.”
Boebert told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, “If anyone in America is an insurrectionist, it’s little Lori.”
In an interview Wednesday, Lightfoot fired back at her critics and said her tweet wasn’t meant to be interpreted literally. She said she only wanted to “sound the alarm” that other protections could be at risk.
“These are the same damn people who were in on January 6 insurrection, where people were injured and died,” Lightfoot said. “So the irony of these people acting like they have any legitimacy in attacking our word choice when they have tried to foment an insurrection against our democracy? It’s beyond hypocritical. It’s ludicrous. They have no legitimacy to criticize anyone.”
