They can\u2019t admit that gun-control laws don\u2019t protect us because suicidal murderers won\u2019t obey our laws.<\/p>\n<p>It was more politically expedient to blame the gun\u00a0than to blame their failed political polices, and too bad if it cost the lives of four innocent people. Those innocent lives were merely the incidental cost that Democrat politicians were willing to pay to remain in office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you think this is an isolated event and that these are isolated lies, then you should keep reading because it happened again after another high profile Sacramento shooting.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That was when gang members with long criminal records had a shootout only a few miles away from the church shooting.
