Biden’s call for gun control smacked down by reality<\/a><\/p>\n

President Joe Biden, like many gun control advocates, wasted no time at all in calling for Congress to enact new legislation in the wake of the latest\u00a0<\/span>shooting in Sacramento<\/span>. In their minds, another mass shooting could only mean gun control was needed and needed swiftly.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, as we now know, reality <\/span>slapped the president in the face<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the immediate aftermath of a\u00a0<\/span>mass shooting in Sacramento<\/span>, California, that killed six and injured 15, President Joe Biden echoed a familiar sentiment among Democrats: \u201cWe must do more than mourn; we must act.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Biden was specifically calling for further restrictions on Americans\u2019 second amendment rights as an answer to the country\u2019s ongoing surge in violent crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe also continue to call on Congress to act,\u201d the president said\u00a0<\/span>in a statement<\/span><\/a>. \u201cBan ghost guns. Require background checks for all gun sales. Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Repeal gun manufacturers\u2019 immunity from liability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But new revelations from law enforcement quickly discredited Democrats\u2019 broad claims that gun regulations would have prevented the deadly incident. Instead, it appeared that, if anything, a tougher stance from law enforcement was due.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, news broke that one of the suspects in the shooting, 27-year-old Smiley Martin, is a dangerous career criminal who was granted early release from prison only weeks before the shootout occurred \u2014 in spite of\u00a0<\/span>pleading and warning<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from the county\u2019s district attorney. The other suspect, 26-year-old Dandrae Martin, also has a criminal record.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then on Wednesday, police in Sacramento reported that at least five suspects and \u201ctwo groups of men\u201d were involved in the shooting. They added that it had become \u201cincreasingly clear that gang violence is at the center of this tragedy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

See, this is what they get for jumping and calling for regulations before we know anything.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, even if this had been exactly what Biden and his crowd thought it was, I\u2019d still oppose gun control, but at least we\u2019d be looking at things that had some degree of bearing on what happened.<\/p>\n

Instead, we get the same blanket pronouncements and the advancement of still more gun control policies that have been on the table for a while\u2013all of which exist in California, it should be noted.<\/p>\n

Biden and others pushed that narrative, confident that it wouldn\u2019t be challenged, which was idiotic. This is California, which has all the gun control laws they\u2019re talking about, and what good did it do?<\/p>\n

I mean, one of the shooters had a weapon that was illegally modified to be full-auto\u2013that violates federal law as well.<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t help, now did it?<\/p>\n

Time and time again, gun control jihadists do this. They jump at the opportunity to push their agenda without waiting for all the facts.<\/p>\n

Usually, they screw up things like calling for an assault weapon ban, saying how it\u2019s needed to stop a mass shooting like the one that just transpired, only for us to learn the shooter used a handgun. Things like that.<\/p>\n

This time, though, it\u2019s not even a mass shooting as we tend to think of it. It was gang warfare and at least one of the shooters was free because of policies explicitly backed by Democrats.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s kind of hard to make pronouncements about how Republicans are making people unsafe when one of the alleged killers is only free because of Democrats.<\/p>\n

President Biden would have done well to simply offer his sympathies to the families of those killed, then said we need to wait and learn exactly what happened before we try and figure out how to address it. However, that\u2019s not his MO and it never has been.<\/p>\n

Which is why reality treated Biden like he was Chris Rock and he\u2019d just joked about Reality\u2019s wife\u2019s hair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
