How much irony and hypocrisy can one single story contain?
Karen Bass, the pro-crime and pro-gun control candidate for mayor in Los Angeles wants to find out.
A burglar or burglars broke into the home of Rep. Karen Bass on Friday evening and made off with two firearms, the Los Angeles mayoral candidate said in a statement released Saturday.
In the brief statement, Bass said she came home Friday to find signs of a break-in and that police were called. She said the thief or thieves stole two firearms, which had been “safely and securely stored,” but left behind cash, electronics and other valuables.
Bass communications director Sarah Leonard Sheahan confirmed to The Times that the guns belonged to the congresswoman and that they were secured in a lockbox. No one was home at the time of the break-in, Leonard Sheahan said.
Neither Leonard Sheahan nor Bass’ statement provided more details, such as what type of guns were stolen.
Bass, as congresswoman, was a militant gun control supporter. And she’s also running on a pro-crime platform of not enforcing laws and giving criminals a pass because of systemic injustice. Meanwhile she was keeping two guns in her home. Why? Because she believed in not shooting burglars? Or because she believed in shooting them, but doesn’t believe that anyone else has the right to defend their homes. Self-defense is a privilege for politicians. Not the people.
Do as I say not as I go - Got it peasant?
Unmentioned that Karen Bass is in her 6th term in Congress and is the leading candidate in the Democrat primary runoff scheduled for November.
“securely store”
Yep!
Laws for thee, not for me
Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.
I swear the hypocrisy of the lefties knows no limits.
If they were "securely stored" how did the thieves get them? Could children have accessed the guns as easily? And what thief would leave behind cash and other valuables?
This stinks to high heaven. She's lying!
Wonder if the perp filled out the proper transfer of ownership required by law?
This stinks to high heaven. She’s lying!

She is lying about something. Random criminals off the street didn’t crack a gun safe. So they were not safely and securely stored, OR, this was a pro job specifically targeting her weapons, OR, he weapon(s) were used in the commission of a crime and she is trying to protect herself.
Being a Dumbocrat, she’s probably shameless and lacking in self-awareness enough to campaign on this as to why private gun ownership is folly:
You’ll just get your guns stolen anyway. See? It happened to me and it will happen to you.
The whole story if fiction IMO.
I suspect she did something with the guns and this is cover for that......or it’s some kind of angle because she’s trying to get elected.
Or someone close to her took them away because they know she's a whackjob. They're too close to her to go public.
Yeah, I’ve heard of people claiming their guns were stolen so that they have an excuse for not turning them over when the gun grabbers go to confiscate them.
Typical liberal hypocrite. I bet she has armed guards like Bloomberg, too.
Not holding my breath this will make LAT front page though they did run a hit piece on her last week.
they normally claim them lost in a tragic boating accident for the gun grabbers
They're all loathsome hypocrites. And by "all", I mean all liberals. Down to a man, woman and in between.
To quote the late, and much missed Rush Limbaugh, you can’t make this stuff up.
