Blumenthal: ‘Gun Violence Protection Is Going to Be on the Ballot this November’
Breitbart ^ | 5/31/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/01/2022 5:09:42 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said Tuesday on “MSNBC Reports” that after last week’s deadly shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX, “gun violence protection is going to be on the ballot” in the upcoming midterm elections.

Blumenthal said, “This time, it really does feel different because of those shouts, ‘Do something.’ I’ve heard them for the last three days, four days that I’ve been in Connecticut, as I watched Memorial Day ceremonies in parades. There is something about how America has reacted and how shaken my colleagues have been. We’ve never before had five Democrats and five Republicans, as we do right, now talking seriously about substantive and meaningful efforts and proposals that will make America safer and save lives. ”

Every time a Blumenthal, a Beto, a Clinton, a Pelosi, and their ilk open their demonic mouths to speak - I always think of Psalm 37.

They will all meet Harry Reid’s fate.

Don’t forget the subway shooter, and the Rittenhouse verdict.

Let’s see....

Gun control on one hand....

Ridiculous inflation and food shortages on the other....

I have a feeling, Dick, that I know which one Trumps the other.

Put Kevlar on the little nippers, and wrap them in bubble wrap. That’ll keep them save from “gun violence and booboos on the play ground. They might suffocate beneath the bubble wrap, and high caliber bullets might break their ribs despite the Kevlar, but “we have to do something!”

The funny thing is, Old Dick is on MSNBC when he says that, which means he's lying to his own cabal. This whole story is halfway into the memory hole, as soon as Sheriff Fat Boy does his follow-up with the Texas Rangers.

Leave it up to the Party of Satan to stand on the graves of these innocent children to try and leverage political power. Disgusting. The Party of lies, death, and destruction.

The last issue Democrats want stressed here in Arizona is guns. They snuck their gun grabber Mark Kelly into office alongside the Biden theft here.

Kelly and Sinema never talk about guns. They never talk about anything. They just quietly vote how Chuckie tells them to with Sinema straying once in a while.

A lot of Democrats own guns here. Rich Baris said his polling shows it is different than the norm and appeals to lots of single issue voters, because of how personal it is.

If he says it’s going to be on the ballot this November, It almost sounds like he is admitting he knows they have no chance of passing anything before the elections. Either way “senator” stolen valor is a POS.

The boy senator, Chris Murphy, from Connecticut who is not up for election this year, has been screaming about gun control but conveniently wants to forget that he introduced federal legislation that Would have prevented any federal funding going to armed SROs because of the BLM movement Sometime after St. Floyd died in 2020

That was exactly my feeling. If they had the votes he wouldn’t be saying it’s on the ballot this November as they would have got it done before the election.

So, he’s saying they’re proposing laws that give an automatic 10 years in prison to any felon in possession with a gun, prosecuting with the max sentence to anyone who is a straw purchaser, and automatic denial of bail to anyone arrested for a crime involving a firearm? I’m all for these gun violence prevention laws.

I’m not so thrilled with more gun control for law abiding citizens only.

What’s the definition of insanity??

So after record gun sales during the Obama regime, and then even during Trump with the ANTIFA crowd; people are just going to turn anti-gun???

Some people must do some really good drugs.
