Of course the Democrats are calling for new gun control
Pelosi says Senate remains hurdle in passing gun bill after Buffalo shooting
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday said the Senate remains a hurdle in passing gun legislation after a gunman opened fire in New York one day earlier, killing 10 people and injuring three others.
Asked by co-anchor Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” if she, President Biden and other Democrats should make gun measures a bigger priority, Pelosi said “it is a huge priority for us, and it has been a huge priority for Joe Biden.” (snip)
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) told CNN on Sunday that the gun used in the incident, an AR-15, was purchased legally at a gun store in the state. She noted, however, that the high-capacity magazine had to have been purchased in a different state.
So, what will these bills do? He purchased legally. Do they not think a person looking to commit murder wouldn’t acquire stuff illegally? The reason that they will not pass is because it’s all about going after law abiding citizens, not criminals.
The man who carried out the mass shooting in Buffalo on Saturday was reportedly investigated last year for making threatening comments to fellow students about carrying out a shooting potentially at a graduation ceremony. Police investigated him then.https://t.co/adIXjPw6jF pic.twitter.com/nLogQQtGFA

Yet, he was allowed to purchase a firearm? No one was watching him?
Pelosi calls for ‘balance’ between free speech and safety after Buffalo shooting
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday that social media companies have to address and track down extremism on their platforms, after a gunman who reportedly espoused white supremacist ideology opened fire at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket on Saturday, killing at least 10.
“Obviously you have to balance the free speech issues,” Pelosi said. “Freedom is so important to us but that freedom also carries public safety with it and we have to balance that.”
“Did you ever think you would be Speaker of the House, when our greatest national security threat, according to so many analysts, is domestic terror?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“The statistics have been showing us there’s more of a threat of domestic terrorism and violence than international, global terrorism affecting our homeland,” Pelosi replied.
So, in the name of “security” free speech must be “balanced”, as in, diminished, and the Dems and their pet media will blamestorm their political opponents as domestic terrorists, simply for not toeing the Democratic line.
