Pop icon and left-wing activist Barbra Streisand reacted to the Apalachee High School shooting by pushing the very gun control that failed to prevent the infamous Columbine attack.
Thirteen people were killed in Columbine High School when two attackers opened fire April 20, 1999, a time at which the federal “assault weapons” ban was in full effect.
Despite the “assault weapons” ban’s failure to prevent Columbine, Streisand is pushing a renewal of the ban as a remedy to the attack that occurred September 4, 2024, at Apalachee High School:
Streisand not only failed to point out that the federal “assault weapons” ban was in place when the Columbine attack occurred but also omitted mention of the fact that one of the Columbine attackers used a TEC-DC-9, which the DOJ’s Institute of Justice listed as prohibited under the very ban Streisand wants to see renewed.
Nevertheless, Streisand is not alone in pushing an “assault weapons” ban in the wake the Apalachee High School attack.

Gun control doesn’t work-—they know that. We need to control leftist policies because that would decrease all violence.
Once and idiot....................
Babs needs to retire to make way for the next generation of rich, liberal, dimwitted women who want the world to know their political opinions.
Sounds like Babs has been pouring too much syrup on her pancakes.
Who?
I favor legislation for Streisand control. Catch and release in the Pacific ocean.
Barbra Streisand pro Cuba
I hope she has fired any body guards she may have and then shames all her hollywood peeps for still having body guards.
My dog says Barbara whatsherface is wrong, and he’s smarter than her.
HOW MANY “SECURITY” PERSONS ON HER PAYROLL???
No doubt that biotch has no problem with the armed invaders.
Not to worry - lucifer will be calling her home soon.
In my heart I have committed adultery with Barbra Streisand and now she wants to commit adultery with the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
All have sinned.
BS to BS.
Limousine Commie.
I thought she was dead.
Lets have “Celebrity Control” instead
***a time at which the federal “assault weapons” ban was in full effect. ***
What the “ban” did was ban rifles by name, and if they had a flash suppressor, bayonet lug, 10 rd magazine or folding stock.
So the makers simply changed the name to “Target” rifles, removed the offending parts and they were still for sale all through the ban.
The Columbine shooters did not use these modified firearms but earlier ones.
I still remember 1962 when Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler ONLY wanted to register handguns. Rifles and shotguns would not be affected.
The lies we have been told by the democrats since then...
Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
In 1976, the founder of handgun Control Inc told in a New Yorker interview his goal was to make ownership of all handguns “TOTALLY ILLEGAL”.
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, They came for the rifles.
