Many Democrats Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) among them have shamelessly attacked the NRA and pushed for more gun control in the wake of the heinous May 23 Santa Barbara attacks. To do this they have seized on three shooting deaths but completely ignored three stabbing deaths, although stabbing deaths are far more personal requiring the killer to be very close to his victims.
On May 24 Breitbart News reported that attacker Elliot Rodger stabbed three people to death "in his residence" before getting into his car to shoot and kill three persons, wound seven others, and run down four others with his car.
After all these various forms of attack, Roll Call reports that Sen. Feinstein is "lamenting the 'stranglehold' the NRA has over gun laws" and Sen. Blumenthal is calling on Congress to take up the Senate's failed gun control bill and pass it.
Media outlets like CNN are right there with these senators, describing the heinous and criminal shooting and killing of three people as a "mass shooting" a move which plays into the left's overall push to swell the number of reported "mass shootings" so those reports can then be used as leverage for more gun control.
Rodger did shoot and kill three people, and the fact that those three people are deceased is horrible. But he also took a far more personal action in stabbing and killing three people "in his residence" before he shot anyone, and the act of stabbing them in this way is savage.
Why aren't the three people who were killed with a knife important enough for Democrats to rally around?

If liberals win gun control, they WILL come after knives next.
Look at England as such an example. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

You can count on it every time. Democrats will capitalize like vultures on every shooting death, using it to further their agenda of disarming the public.
Or, killed with a car?
Because it's not the killing, it's the means that has them running around with their pants on fire.
The common thread that runs through all mass slayings is that they were committed by Progressives.
progressives ? you mean the people that are so bat sh#t crazy that they sleep upside down ?
Liberals care nothing of death. Unless it’s the imminent threat of their own. Who was is who said recently - that garbage pile Conyers, or Dingell - that death is just a part of life? They and their dogma are so interchangeable anymore, I need a scorecard to keep up with who vomits what verbiage.
fortunately... it does not look like any were killed by the car. but the stabbees died.
Yes. They are also known as Liberals, and/or Democrats.
They were committed by mindless nutjobs that have been programmed. I truly believe these nuts have been under someone’s control and they go off when the “switch” is turned on. And those who control them are not democrats or republicans. They’re elites who control the democrats and the republicans. The way things have been going in this country nothing would surprise me anymore and I don’t trust anyone. Call me crazy.
"The three people found stabbed to death inside his apartment have been identified as roommates Chen Yuang Hong, 20, and George Chen, 19. A third man Weihan Wang, 20, may have been a visitor."
Every word of the free speech of these agenda-driven, narcissistic, totalitarians needs to be examined and their shooters, too.
Yeah and?...............Expected from the pool of imbeciles we call politicians today
To quote South Park creator Matt Stone, "I really ******* hate liberals".
Because they don't help further the gun control agenda.
Sometimes I have to wonder which of these nutty groups, or what part of the current administration, is 'encouraging' people to shoot up schools, malls, etc. in order to force gun control on people that are completely innocent of any of these crimes in order to disarm the citizens. I know it's far out in conspiracy land but there are so many of these shootings since Obama came to office that it's hard to believe that they aren't somehow related or controlled by an agenda of some sort. How hard would it be to control the mind of somebody that is already 'disturbed'? All of the shooters end up dead, most by their own hand, after leaving pages and pages of notes on why they did it, but since they are dead nobody can ever get them to talk about it again. You can't tell me our government doesn't have the means or the capability of doing this sort of thing.
Ever seen “The Star Chamber”? Too bad it’s only a movie. Then again, do we want to stoop to their level? Probably the only way to combat what’s going on.
They are waiting to see what people say so they make up their fake stories.
