The left is trying to make political hay again over a mass shooting in El Paso and then another one in Dayton, blaming the whole thing on -- take your pick, guns, President Trump, or white supremacy. Just look at them go and this is hardly a comprehensive sampling of all versions of these same arguments out there:

Here is a link to their “Messaging Guide” in case you haven’t seen it. I would think they all have a pocket edition for quick reference.

Unfortunately for them, the Dayton shooter targeted white bar-goers.

When are these MSM clowns going to get into the faces of Buttplug, et al, and point out that the shooter was not a Republican, and, instead, espoused leftie ideas?

The beliefs of these killers are almost always leftie ideas. Why isn’t anyone sticking a microphone in their faces and calling them on it?

I don’t care how many mentally ill jackasses they find to act crazy, after the Democrats performance at Waco.....no gun control.

Never.

These jackasses want to be the next Mao or Stalin killing millions of people.

Just heard that 6 of the 9 killed were Black and one of them was the 22 year old sister of the Antifa punk.

Yes, and they do not want to listen to facts such as Dylan Klebold strongly opposed concealed carry laws and that he and Eric Harris decided to commit their 1999 bloody rampage at Columbine High School on the day that the Colorado legislature was to debate and pass such a law for that state. And btw, the Tech 9 pistol they used was acquired from the son of a well known local gun control advocate.

73 people have been shot in Chicago so far this weekend. You gonna blame that on President Trump and white supremacists, too?

Since leftists and candy-ass RINOs love to put the blame on guns, fine. What type of firearm kills more people in America, rifles or hand guns? So ban hand guns? Great, now only outlaws will have guns. This isn’t Great Britain or Canada. You’ll never get all the illegal guns or even most of the legal ones. Can’t be done.

And yet the only “solution” that will actually stop these mass shootings from happening is...wait for it...more hand guns, more training, more gun culture and the respect for our constitution and freedoms. Why did El Paso happen? Not enough guns.

We’ve lost our country if we value safety and security over freedom. We’ve lost our country if fail to hold parents accountable over the raising of our children. We’ve lost our country when we forget accountability to a higher power. Well you can’t legislate that back in. All you can do is scare crazy would-be shooters. There is currently very little for them to fear.

Even a pro-2A libertarian like Scott Adams seems to cowed by this incident, lamenting that our freedoms will now be curtailed, that you can no longer look in the mirror at yourself and say that our freedoms are inviolable. Excuse me? Everybody needs to buck up and realize that this is a problem that can be solved in American constitutional ways, not with big brother solutions.

The media plays the primary role in drumming up public anger, hatred and all we’re seeing today. They’ve long forgotten what reporting is about ......and they don’t care to return to that.

It’s almost like they have their propaganda and accusations all written out and ready, just waiting for the next catastrophe to add the time and place.

They don’t really care about the victims, just want to use it to further their agenda.

They couldn’t bring down Trump with the whole Russia BS, Mueller failed, so now they are hiring people to shoot innocent people for the left’s final agenda, to take away everyone’s guns..and paint all white people as White Supremacists
