California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) ripped Republicans after multiple mass shootings shook the state in the span of three days, saying they are standing in the way of gun safety measures.
“You just gotta call some folks out. I’m still waiting for Kevin McCarthy, the leader of the House of Representatives, who purports to represent the people of the state California,” Newsom said at a news conference on Tuesday after meeting victims’ families, referring to California Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R), who just took the gavel as Speaker for the new Congress.
“Not one expression of prayers, condolences, nothing. And it’s surprised nobody. Where’s he been on gun safety reform? Where’s the Republican Party been on gun safety reform? They blocked it every step of the way,” Newsom added.
“Shame on them,” the governor said of the GOP. “And shame on those that allow and perpetuate that to be rewarded politically… Only in America do we see this kind of carnage.

We’re talking about people that believe guns can fire themselves......just ask alec baldwin.
Newson is firing himself for a run at POTUS, and I think the Dems will run him after they toss Biden under the bus.
He’s already practicing his talking points:
Shootings: Republican’s fault.
Rising Crime: Republican’s fault.
Raging Inflation: Republican’s fault.
High gas prices: Republican’s fault.
And his favorite, Climate Change.
That too is Republican’s fault. Yep, he’ll make a great Democratic candidate in 2024 for the White House.
And the media will slavishly print everything he says as if it’s the word from God himself.
The shooters were already violating California gun laws. Does the Govtard think criminals will start obeying additional laws?
They won’t be on death row for long, they’ll be free.
Newsom and the Soros-funded DAs in California are busy freeing violent criminals and closing down prisons as fast as possible - b/c racism.
Nancy Newsom. Our next President.
It is time to make them prove their allegations. Make him prove the guns committed the crimes. Then prove that his own rat criminal/gang friendly policies caused it.
“Illinois lawmakers wasted no time in the new legislative session, taking just five days to pass major gun safety measures that include a ban on semi-automatic rifles, high-capacity magazines and gun attachments that simulate automatic fire.”
“’A crime hasn’t been committed, and they’re getting their rights taken away,’ he said. ‘There are just a myriad of issues — all sorts of due process issues.’”
So as Governor he can’t do what Hochul does in NYS and constantly passes more and more gun laws that never help anything?
Same old boring bromides. Fine, this is just throat clearing, letting sleepy Joe and Kamela that he’s fundraising and running.
Surprised he’s being so cautious, after almost three years if raw power grabs.
You couldn’t be more wrong. The rest of us eventually get hit with everything Ca does wrong. Trace the whole National mess back to the source and you will find Ca was that source. All of it...
Nazi RATS still after the people’s firearms. That’s the last thing they have left to do in order to make America a communist SLAVE STATE. Gruesome Newsome Sucks! Wake up America. You’re having a nightmare thinking you’re WOKE. You’re in a deeper REM state now than you were before the RATS “woke” you up.
There are millions of semi-automatic rifles around the USA.
“Let sleeping dogs lie.”
Not to discount the importance of the 2A, but folks said this during Clinton, Obama and now Biden and yet I still retain all the guns I had then, plus some new ones.
A good sight picture and a smooth trigger pull.
Just like “climate warming” morphed into “climate change” so that they can cover all their bases no matter what the climate decides to do
New York even bans body armor for civilians. Because body armor has been used in so many mass death events, dontchaknow.
Well, it appears all that is about to change. They never had this much support from the ignorant before.
The US military had the good sense not to try “gun control” in Iraq or Afghanistan.
And remember, if you couldn’t do “gun control” in South Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan, you will fail miserably in the USA.
“Amendment XIV

Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same....”
Rebellion or insurrection against the Constitution of the United States can lead to unemployment. Trampling on the Bill of Rights is at your peril. Courts can enforce Section 3 just like they enforce Section 1 - impeachment is not required.
