Many people were wondering what was going to happen now that we know that the shooter is not a white, Christian, Conservative. Well, we aren’t hearing about white supremacy or nationalism, the phrase “hate crime” is not being thrown around, and pretty much anything about the shooter is being ignored. It’s all about gun control/grabbing
What the heck is an "AR-15-style pistol modified with an arm brace"? Sounds like a handgun with an arm brace, which would mean the "white Arab" didn't actually use an "assault rifle" https://t.co/Rqx754kpO0

In fact, it was a Ruger AR-556 Pistol, per USA Today. Not technically a rifle at all. Not that much difference, though. But, the Usual Suspects do not care, and they’re going double time after guns because they can’t complain about white people and conservatives (of course, the notion that a goodly chunk of the assaults against Asians was occurring from Black people, and primarily in Democratic Party run cities, was ignored as the media blamed whites, Trump, and Conservatives).
You have Biden, along with so many others, pushing for an assault weapons ban and other gun restrictions. Let’s say we do this: what will Democrats push when it makes no difference in criminals using guns (especially as they take advantage of law abiding citizens being disarmed)? And, their other big push
What has to happen after the Colorado killings
(many paragraphs about previous shootings and attempts to gun grab, which is actually a setup as we learn about gun grabbing legislation offered by Democrats being either watered down or killed because Republicans refuse to gun grab)
Despite former President Donald Trump’s “big lie” that led to the attempted coup on January 6, President Joe Biden, who ran on a strong gun-control platform, is in the White House and has signaled that he is ready to sign gun violence prevention bills into law.
Had to have some TDS in there, right?
On March 11, the House passed Thompson and Clyburn’s background check bills once again. Sen. Chris Murphy who introduced S.529, the companion bill to Rep. Thompson’s bill, is tasked with passing the bill in the Senate.
Without eliminating the filibuster, this legislation will require 10 Republicans to join 50 Democrats to support the bill, a herculean challenge in so partisan a political environment that 43 Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump for inciting unprecedented insurrection against our nation.
Well, write better bills. Don’t make them intrusive. Don’t make them violate the Constitution. Don’t make them punish the law abiding because criminals are criminal
The Brady background check and the assault weapons ban bills were signed into law more than 27 years ago, the last time Congress passed a meaningful gun control bill. With 253+ voter suppression bills in 43 states, Republicans are only interested in regaining power that serves the interest of the corporate gun lobby.
When you go hyper-partisan, why are you surprised when Republicans won’t work with you? And the Brady bill was supposed to fix all this. Weird it didn’t, eh?
The gun violence prevention movement worked tirelessly to secure a Democratic majority in the House, the Senate and the White House. It’s time for Democratic senators to reform the rules to force an up-or-down vote on lifesaving gun violence prevention measures. They must not squander this opportunity to take meaningful action to end the gun violence crisis in our nation.
Without ending the Senate filibuster, public safety policies with broad American support will not make it onto President Biden’s desk. That means we can expect more than 100 Americans to keep dying by guns every single day. And that we’re likely to see more of the tragic deaths that we’ve just seen in Atlanta and Boulder.
Never let a good crisis go to waste, eh? The bodies aren’t even cold and Democrats are using that to push gun measures and killing the filibuster (which they will immediately want reinstated when they next lose the Senate, right?).
Oh, and perhaps liberals should be looking at their politicized, left leaning FBI
Why do I have to pretty much go to overseas news outlets to find this stuff out? Known to FBI https://t.co/ZsXx0Xfr0w

That’s right, he was known to the FBI. Yet, was allowed to pass a lawful background check, and the conditions for gun ownership are much more burdensome in Colorado.
