Gavin Newsom immediately criticized the Republican controlled Congress after a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/mass-shootings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deadly mass shooting<\/a>\u00a0at a mall in suburban Dallas, Texas killed at least 8 and injured 7 others on Saturday afternoon, slamming Congress for not passing gun control reform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">\u201cThis is freedom?? To be shot at a mall? Shot at school? Shot at church? Shot at the movies?\u201d the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/gavin-newsom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democrat governor<\/a>\u00a0wrote in a Twitter post shortly after police confirmed the causalities. \u201cWe have become a nation that is more focused on the right to kill than the right to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, sick burn.<\/p>\n<p>Except, of course, it\u2019s total male bovine excrement.<\/p>\n<p>I challenge Gov. Newsom to show me one place in the United States that actually has a \u201cright to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sure, many have taken steps to preserve the right to self-defense, but that\u2019s fundamentally different. Even Newsom will acknowledge\u2013publicly, at least\u2013that you have a right to defend yourself if you find yourself being threatened.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not \u201cthe right to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So where is it, Newsom? Where is this \u201cright to kill\u201d that Congress is supposedly so focused on?<\/p>\n<p>Nowhere. That\u2019s where it is.\u00a0At least, not with a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>California, however, wants to be an abortion mecca for people who feel like they can\u2019t get one in their home state. For a lot of people, that sure looks like California and Newsom are worried about an actual \u201cright to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also California\u2019s euthanasia law that allows anyone who has lived in the state for six months to get assisted suicide\u2013another thing that sure looks like killing to a lot of other folks.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, a case can easily be made that Newsom\u2019s California is one of the few places that actually\u00a0<em>does<\/em>\u00a0have a right to kill.<\/p>\n<p>The truth of the matter is that no matter what gun control you pass, there will be a potential for mass shootings. I reported on three from Europe just recently, including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bearingarms.com\/tomknighton\/2023\/05\/06\/serbia-gun-control-n70191\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two in Serbia just days apart<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bearingarms.com\/tomknighton\/2023\/05\/01\/killed-mass-shooting-n70026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Another was in Portugal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Those three were within the span of a week, folks, and there is no nation in Europe that is particularly gun friendly. Not by American standards, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom and people like him would do well to stop focusing on the guns and start looking at what we can do that might actually work.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not going to happen, though. It\u2019s not going to happen because Newsom wants to square up his anti-gun credentials prior to his presidential run, whenever that actually happens.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, I don\u2019t think that will work the way he intends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gavin Newsom tries anti-gun attack that backfires California Gov.
