In a stunning attempt to shift blame for Sunday’s deadly shooting at a Waffle House in Tennessee away from the mentally unstable criminal who perpetrated the crime, on Monday, an MSNBC panel claimed that gun he used, an AR-15 rifle, was the “real criminal” and that America’s pro-gun culture was also responsible for the killings.
“What is your message, I guess I want to ask, to those who say, ‘Don’t touch my guns no matter what’?,” anchor Stephanie Ruhle fretted to New York Times columnist Bret Stephens early in the 9:00 a.m. ET hour. Seizing on the opportunity to immediately exploit the tragedy to push the gun control agenda, Stephens proclaimed: “Well, that’s exactly it. The problem that we have is that we have not just a legal regime, but a culture in which the way in which guns are treated as sort of ordinary household implements is precisely what leads to the deaths of the sort we just saw in Waffle House.”
The faux conservative op/ed writer, who recently called for the repeal of the Second Amendment, reiterated: “But this, again, the central problem that we have here is that we have too many guns in this country and people who don’t think that they are dangerous....it’s also a kind of a failure of culture...”

I do recall Rush taking them to task about that.
Well it’s a darn good thing all those state run loony bins were closed.
Not too Swift, which is the only connection to Taylor :)
Whatever it was, the kid needed professional help for this illness which often times can be helped with meds.
Well said
Did this muscle car conspire with its radio to try to kill its owner?

The Left is so far gone championing the crazy that reopening them would be impossible.
If only one of the customers or staff had been a concealed carry holder then there would be no need for the current manhunt to find the perp.
Now, imagine if all the people the Left despises were somehow completely disarmed. Do you think, with the problem of guns having been 'solved,' Leftists would then go about their business and leave their adversaries alone? Do you suppose Leftists would then become nicer towards those they loathe?
The answer to that question says a lot.
Just commented on that. Couldn’t decide. Ban Camaros or radios
The is no understanding or dealing with morons.

Well yes. As long as I am not breaking any law why the hell should you care about my guns and what I do or don’t do with them? Get a grip and start acting like an adult!
According to the signage, they would have had to be out on the street and not even in the parking lot. Certainly not inside. NOBODY ever has a gun inside Waffle House. Ever.
I guess a guy walking around nude isn’t a clue to some mental instability.
5.56mm
Exactly
He could have killed just as many with Joe Biden’s shotgun.
Can I get Taylor Swift to stalk me? PLEASSEEEE???
I promise to put up no resistance and gladly submit to whatever she has in mind...!!!
Of course MSNBC is blaming the gun, they cannot tell the truth and always blame guns, the NRA and Law-Abiding Americans for not kowtowing to their demands of disarming so as to have control over us. Remember People, the MSM doesn’t care about us. They only care about spreading the lies and deceit of the leftist/socialist/snowflakes to make themselves feel good.
But the Hillary supporter who used the gun is not responsible.
The anti-American left means to disarm us and then destroy us. It’s not about “safety”. It’s not about “common sense”. It’s not about “reducing crime”. It’s about The Revolution.
Alinsky, you demonic bastard! I read your book!
