Gavin Newsom Responds to Apalachee High Shooting By Pushing Gun Control That Wouldn’t Stop Attacks

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) responded to the Apalachee High School attack by pushing gun control Sunday that would not stop attacks on schools from occurring.

Newsom posted to X:

Notice 75 percent of Newsom’s proposed gun control deals with point-of-sale: 1) Add background checks to private sales, 2) Raise minimum purchase age to 21, and 3) Put a waiting period in place for gun purchases. None of these gun controls would have had the least impact on the Apalachee High School attacker as he was only 14-years-old, which means he was already too young to buy a gun, period.

These same types of point-of-sale gun controls were pushed following the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School attack, even though the attacker in that instance stole his guns, rendering point-of-sale gun controls of no consequence.

Gruesome Newsom is such a moron. He’s responding after the student on student murders after the dirty deed because the school officials and law enforcement didn’t respond prior to the public school student attack. GUNS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT RETARDS.

Right you are. It’s about mental and spiritual illness. He knows it, but chooses instead to stir up the idiots out there in hopes of getting their votes. The kid professed his desire to massacre his fellow students. Then his father went out and bought him the tool to do the job. Doesn’t get much more demonic than that, really. And yeah, I was raised way back when guys ran around —including to high school— with rifles and shotguns on display in their pickups. And we had one of each, ready to go, right by our front door, for the occasional varmint. We didn’t go around shooting innocent, unarmed people. Guilty, armed people, maybe, but not anyone who didn’t deserve it. God I miss that world...

You’re not the only one who misses those days when America was full of Americans and acted that way. I can see why the RATS don’t want America to be great again.

If one effectively stops school shootings, doesn’t that just move the inevitable to another time and place? Just saying....

Gun control will happen. Crime and govt terrism will explode. Guns will be carried by all, because to not carry is to die, like my friends knew in Detroit.

1) Add background checks to private sales, 2) Raise minimum purchase age to 21, and 3) Put a waiting period in place for gun purchases
= = =

I thought all these were already in place in CA.

If not, I’ll take the correction.

Any time there’s a mass shooting, the gun grabbers cry for the removing of all assault weapons. Their reaction reminds me of dogs chasing their own tail as a sign of irrationality.
