After the horrific Texas elementary school shooting which killed 21 people, including 19 children, the Democrats reacted as follows:
“As a nation, we have to ask, when in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?” Joe Biden said. “When in God’s name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?”
“Enough is enough. As a nation, we have to have the courage to take action and understand the nexus between what makes for reasonable and sensible public policy to ensure something like this never happens again,” said Kamala Harris.
“Nearly ten years after Sandy Hook — and ten days after Buffalo — our country is paralyzed, not by fear, but by a gun lobby and a political party that has shown no willingness to act in any way that might help prevent these tragedies,” said Barack Obama.
“For too long, some in Congress have offered hollow words after these shootings while opposing all efforts to save lives. It is time for all in Congress to heed the will of the American people and join in enacting the House-passed bipartisan, commonsense, life-saving legislation into law,” tweeted Nancy Pelosi.
Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke used the shooting to stage a publicity stunt. O’Rourke interrupted a presser held by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and viciously attacked Abbot saying “It’s on you”
Hillary Clinton tweeted: “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. After years of nothing else, we are becoming a nation of anguished screams. We simply need legislators willing to stop the scourge of gun violence in America that is murdering our children.”
Far-left propagandist Michael Moore, appeared on MSNBC to call for a repeal of the Second Amendment, claiming that the Founders never would have included it in the Constitution if they had knowledge of bullets.
There are two problems with all their assertions.
The first problem is that most of these individuals have been in positions of power for long periods of time, but did nothing to implement any form of ‘gun control.’
