Watch: Reporter Exposes Massive Flaw in Newsom's Logic on Gun Control After Mass Shooting

In the wake of yet another horrific mass shooting in our nation, the left is going after the Second Amendment once again and demanding that gun control measures be put in place.

But one journalist, in a rare piece of actual journalism, pushed back on those demands and exposed a flaw in the left’s gun logic.

On Monday, CBS News journalist Norah O’Donnell interviewed California’s leftist Gov. Gavin Newsom following a mass shooting in Monterey Park on Saturday that left 11 people dead.

Predictably, Newsom repeated the leftist talking points about guns. He even went so far as to describe the Second Amendment as a “suicide pact.”

But what happened next was unexpected. Instead of passively going along with it, O’Donnell pushed back, saying, “But there’s many people in this country that support the Second Amendment and are lawful gun owners.”

So, norah is into magic shrooms now? I mean what other explanation could there be for even thinking anything positive about the (not absolute) 2nd amendment?

He was born without any and has managed to avoid it for many years now. Either there’s a whole lot of hanky panky going on with the (s)elections or we underestimated the level of stoopid out there. Or is simply a case of folks too busy watching funny dog videos on tiktok. Sad eh?

There are SO MANY firearms owners in this country now Newsome is a MORON!! The crime in this country is skyrocketing and law abiding citizens are going to have to defend themselves!!

People break laws are the sort of people who break laws. Writing more laws will not change their nature or their behavior.

Therefore, the current push to write more laws is not aimed at “people who break laws” but it is, instead, aimed at “people who obey the law”. Which tells you everything.

If Newsom had his way you won’t go to the gun store to buy guns, ammunition and magazines. You’d go to the cartels. After all, we have an open border and there is demand.

When pretty boy “gruesome newscum” gives up his own personal security detail, personally comes to Texas all by himself to discuss this “suicide pact” that he speaks of, I will listen....till then, this POS demon and his evil spawn from the failed state of CA can go pound sand where the sun don’t shine....FU, gruesome....

So the first time since taking over the nightly news chair years ago, NorDUH O’Donnell actually asks relevant questions.

Sorry too little too late, they need to be consistent with good reporting to earn any credit as a journalist.

I have no idea what the elderly Vietnamese guy’ s circumstances are. Did he just own what he thought was reasonably necessary to own, and gun control laws overtook him and made him a criminal? Did he go out looking for a weapon specifically for this killing. I can’t imagine that he paid too much attention to politics.

Newsome needs to explain what the danger is of a law abiding citizen having a decent weapon and resources to defend themselves from the terrorists slipping into our country
