The True Flaws in Alyssa Milano and Fred Guttenberg's Gun Control Argument

“So let’s do it” is representative of the common response from gun control advocates when their political opponents condemn acts of gun violence. While this may not have been Mr. Guttenberg’s intention, the fact is that the Left cannot see the difference between agreeing with a problem and agreeing with their proposed solution. For them, if you agree that mass shootings are morally abhorrent, then you must therefore agree with their gun control proposals. Ted Cruz agreed with the problem, but until we agree on the “it,” we will not move forward together.

The second moment came during one of several ignorant and illogical interjections by Alyssa Milano. This was not her emotional appeal as someone with “anxiety,” or her emotional appeal “as a mother,” or even her emotional appeal as someone who wanted to see for herself that Ted Cruz was human. It was her assertion that the scale of a problem justifies the experimental implementation of any policy, regardless of its efficacy or constitutional legitimacy.

Ted Cruz: “I don’t think [background checks] would have a meaningful impact in decreasing gun violence.”

Sorry Ian. While no doubt (maybe) intended, you have let the "gun violence" verbiage spoil your column. Then again I suppose it's possible that it had to be framed in the context of the meeting. If so, then Ted should have corrected it. As in a column yesterday, someone noted that "shooting" is a sport. Murder is a crime. But the left continues to set the tone with their wording.

Alyssa admitted to owning two guns for home defense as she was fearful for her children.

That should end the debate right there.

The Left has weaponized gun ownership....("Unconstitutional and Tyrannical Red Flag Gun Confiscation Laws Are Coming FAST")

Why do we give miss morono a forum? Because she was reasonably attractive 20 years ago? Or because she acted as a child in the 80’s on a third rate sitcom?
