Nothing in any of the current proposed legislation – even the ‘Covid Hate Act, whatever that is supposed to cover – would have done anything to stop this. The demoncraps know that, but ………..<\/p>\n
What Gun Control Proposal Would Have Prevented Georgia Shootings?<\/a><\/p>\n Never let a good crisis go to waste. That\u2019s the Washington, D.C. mantra, it seems, especially among the left. They\u2019ll latch onto anything and everything that happens as a way to advance an agenda, no matter how much reality interferes with their efforts.<\/p>\n Take the shooting in Atlanta. Let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s awful. Any time someone takes human life so indiscriminately, it\u2019s just awful. There really aren\u2019t enough words in the English language to describe just how terrible that is.<\/p>\n But almost as terrible is the fascination among some people to try and twist events. That\u2019s what\u2019s\u00a0happening in the wake of Atlanta<\/a>.<\/p>\n The U.S. House member whose district includes the first massage parlor targeted by a gunman Tuesday night said he was grateful the suspect was quickly apprehended and praying for those affected.<\/p>\n \u201cMy staff members and I are horrified by the violent shootings that took place at businesses in Woodstock and Atlanta this afternoon,\u201d U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville, wrote on Twitter late Tuesday. Our prayers are with the families of the victims this evening, and for healing for those injured.\u201d<\/p>\n U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams represents the Atlanta neighborhood where two spas were attacked. She said the shooter must be held accountable but the wider issue of violence against Asian American people and Pacific Islanders, which has increased during the coronavirus pandemic, must also be addressed.<\/p>\n She noted that the House Judiciary Committee already had a hearing scheduled for Thursday to discuss this issue. And Williams supports a bill two Asian American lawmakers filed last week that would direct the Department of Justice to assign a point person to review COVID-19-related hate crimes. The\u00a0COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act<\/a>\u00a0would also provide additional support for state and local law enforcement agencies in responding to hate crimes.<\/p>\n \u201cThose are immediate steps that we can take in Congress beyond thoughts and prayers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u2026<\/p>\n President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer were also among those who released statements condemning the violence that appeared to have roots in misogyny. U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar said the news of the shootings gripped her attention and she hoped that her colleagues and people at home are watching, too.<\/p>\n \u201cWe still know that this risk of gun violence is out there in a big way,\u201d the Minnesota Democrat said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what you saw, sadly, in Atlanta.\u201d<\/p>\n Klobuchar said she was happy Georgia voters recently elected Democratic U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, who she said are poised to support gun control measures.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n About those gun control measures\u2026\u00a0 I\u2019d be interested to know which of the plethora of gun control bills currently in Congress would have stopped this atrocity. He used a handgun, so no assault weapon ban. The killer purchased the gun legally, which means that even if he didn\u2019t buy it at a gun store, he could have, so universal background checks would have done jack squat. There\u2019s been no mention of \u201cred flags\u201d before his attack, so no red flag law would have stopped it.<\/p>\n So what which bill would have?<\/p>\n None. None would have. There\u2019s no evidence that even a waiting period would have done a damn thing except delay him.<\/p>\n But for Democrats, it\u2019s never\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0about addressing the incident, it\u2019s about advancing an agenda and using the bodies of slain individuals as the soapbox from which they pontificate from. They don\u2019t give a damn about the lives lost. They care about taking your guns. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n And they\u2019re not going to let a good crisis go to waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nothing in any of the current proposed legislation – even the ‘Covid Hate Act, whatever that is supposed to cover – would have done anything to stop this.
