White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday discussed the brutal slaying of five people in Texas without noting the fugitive accused of the heinous crime is an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported four times. During her daily briefing, Jean-Pierre provided an update on the manhunt currently underway for 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa, the Mexican national accused of gunning down five people – including a nine-year-old boy – inside a home in Cleveland, Texas, last Friday. The White House spokeswoman called for more stringent gun control measures – but not immigration controls – in the wake of the tragedy....

Five people are dead after being shot in a home by a suspect armed with AR-15 style rifle, police say. The incident occurred at approximately 11:31 p.m. local time when officials from the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office received a call about harassment in Cleveland, Texas -- a small town located about 55 miles north of Houston. But when authorities arrived at the location they found several victims shot at the property, police said. The youngest victim in the shooting was 8-years-old and two female victims were discovered in the bedroom lying on top of two surviving children, authorities told...

The semi-automatic rifle used to kill five people and injure nine at the Louisville bank shooting on Monday will likely be auctioned off and be “back on the streets,” Mayor Craig Greenberg said. Greenberg — who has called for an end to the gun violence plaguing his city — said current Kentucky law allows guns seized by the police to go to auction, including those used in violent crimes. “The assault rifle that killed five of our neighbors will one day be auctioned off,” the mayor said Tuesday. “That murder weapon will be back on the streets.” The Louisville Metro...

Karine Jean-Pierre specifically said, "The transgender community is under attack." Those were her exact words. This was in response to criticism of inaction on the part of authorities to delve deeper into motivations and/or refusing to release the manifesto of the Transgender Killer of Nashville. She appeared to be JUSTIFYING Audrey (Aiden) Ashley Hale's murder of three older adults and three 9-year-old children at the Covenant School in Nashville. She only killed because she believed (s)he and it's fellow transgenders were under attack. If folks would stop the criticism of the transgenders, she appeared to say, the violence would stop....

The M16 or AR-15 rifle is one of the US's most divisive symbols To gun enthusiasts, it is an effective, lightweight weapon. To anti-gun advocates, it's a symbol of mass shootings. Experts estimate approximately 16 million adults in the US now own at least one of these rifles.

A look at some core facts and truth regarding the nation’s most popular rifle.The AR-15 is the most popular rifle in America today. Estimates put the total of privately owned modern sporting rifles upwards of 20 million, which would clearly meet the “common use” standard the Supreme Court says qualifies weapons for protection under the Second Amendment. Yet because mass murderers like the “transgender” biological woman in Nashville sometimes choose this weapon for the commission of heinous evil, leftists relish in attributing that evil to the tool rather than the perpetrator.So let’s focus for just a moment on the facts...

As president, Donald Trump privately pushed for banning AR-15-type rifles, according to a new report. Trump was — and is — a big defender of Second Amendment rights. So the new revelation is surprising that he tried to renew the “assault weapon” ban during his first two years in office. In the summer of 2019, after back-to-back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso involving an AR-15-style pistol and an AKM-style rifle, Trump told aides that he wanted to ban AR-15s, according to people present for the statements. “I don’t know why anyone needs an AR-15,” Trump told aides...

The gun’s brutal efficiency: The AR-15’s mechanics, which allow shooters to easily fire bullets at a high velocity in rapid succession, make the weapon lethal and destructive. When the bullets penetrate the body, they create a blast effect that blows up organs and pulverizes bones. The weapon’s power magnifies the impact of gun violence, both because of the number of victims and, for survivors, the long-lasting effects on physical and mental health.

Lying Rep. George Santos has co-sponsored legislation introduced in the House last week that would name the AR-15 the “National Gun of the United States.” The bill, put forward in the House last Friday by Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.), more specifically seeks to declare that an “AR-15 style rifle chambered in a .223 Remington round or a 5.56x45mm NATO round [would be] the National Gun of the United States,” according to a summary of the legislation. The full text of the bill has not been released. Santos, who has been under fire since admitting to The Post in December that...

CHICAGO - An appellate court has upheld a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Illinois’ assault weapons ban, and expanded it to cover the entire state. The TRO was issued by an Effingham County judge after attorney Thomas DeVore filed a lawsuit in state court against the law on behalf of 866 plaintiffs. Tuesday’s ruling actually expands the restraining order statewide. Judges suggested that lawmakers who rushed to pass the legislation earlier this month should have slowed down to explain why police and security guards, and several other categories of people, get to buy the firearms but others do not. "This...

FOX News personality Geraldo Rivera backed President Biden’s push for an “assault weapons” ban and said that the “AR” in AR-15 stands for “automatic rifle” on Tuesday’s The Five. Newsweek quoted Rivera telling the co-hosts, “I submit to you, ladies and gentlemen, there is no legitimate reason … to have an AR-15.” He described the AR-15 as a “machine gun” that people own in order to make them feel “macho.”

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) is weighing a push to end or repeal a grandfathering clause in a gun control bill in order to force residents to hand over any AR-15s. The CT Mirror noted that Connecticut’s General Assembly has passed two “assault weapons” bans, and each time, the bans had a grandfather clause, allowing those who already owned the banned firearms to keep them.

Three Oklahoma teenagers were killed when they broke into a house and were met by a homeowner with an AR-15. Now the grandfather of one of the teenagers is speaking out about his grandson’s death. According to KTUL-TV, Leroy Schumacher, grandfather of 17-year-old Jacob Redfearn, believes the death of Redfearn was unjustified because the homeowner’s AR-15 gave him an unfair advantage over the three burglars. Speaking to KTUL, Schumacher acknowledged that breaking into a house was “stupid,” but death was not the appropriate consequence. “What these three boys did was stupid,” Schumacher said. “They knew they could be punished for...

Ladies and gentlemen, make sure your blaster is secure because hot dog are these takes hilarious! HAAAAAAA! Checkmate right there! Problem solved! (By the way, I have to show you screenshots because Twitter considers this too "sensitive" for you to see, since guns are yucky and evil to the nerds paid to censor us all from SoCal.)
