One man declared himself “furious.” The other was solemn. One insisted that Americans “be angry.” The other touted recent reforms already done.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and President Joe Biden both watched in horror as a mass shooting left seven people dead and wounded dozens more at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park. But their responses in the hours after the July 4 massacre were diametrically different, reflecting not just a divergence in temperaments but of their political approaches to the issue of gun violence in America.
Whereas Pritzker demanded that people make politics of the moment — as grisly as it may be — the president initially
Maybe they could condemn the Antifa Socialist that pulled the trigger...

New York City - Macys flagship store burned and looted along with deaths and $2 billion damages across Atlanta, Chicago, Portland and other cities. Where was the outrage then??? A Antifa Democratic Socialist supporter kills seven and injured 43 and they want law abiding gun owners arrested?

All part of the plan: manufacture yet another random shooting, gin up outrage from politicians, Hollywood, the corporate media and social media, put pressure on elected officials to “do something,” politicians then claim a mandate and attempt draconian legislation to deal with situations they, themselves, created. Rinse, repeat.

These people must be just physical wrecks. I know they’re mental ones. A body can’t stay perpetually furious and angry without it affecting the stomach and nerves. Imagine the indigestion and bowel disorder they live with constantly. Awful, just awful. (Smiley face!)

Dems have no problem with this collateral damage. Yes, it's a shame some died and some were injured and all will be scared by the whole incident but it's for "the cause". Soon the mantra will be "There are NO laws we can pass that will stop this insanity. Therefore, confiscation is the only answer". That is where this is headed. For the trifecta. Control our mobility, control the food supply, take away our personal protection. It's for our own good don't you know?

I'm furious, at the woke news media, for exploiting every tragedy to propagandize their socialist narrative.

If you're not hysterical at wanting everyone disarmed, you are a bad person.

As usual politico serves up socialist gruel for its Elite Soviet hopefuls. It ignores that nearly all of these murderous creatures are young liberals raised in liberal conclaves, treated for depression and violence, and despite the 'toughest' gun laws in the country, still able to acquire said firearms and use them to slaughter in liberal-decreed 'no gun zones'.
Most of the violence could have been avoided, simply by treating their age-normal feelings of confusion and anxiety, but psychologists, overwelmingly liberal, must prescribe anti depressants to their work for them, even though they have a recorded history of inducing murderous rages.
The gun - an inanimate unfeeling tool is treated as the Great Evil, despite the failure of the already existing laws and the failure of law enforcement.
Which is why honest people buy guns. When danger is seconds away, police are minutes or hours away. Owning a gun might not save you, but it gives you a chance. When a nation outlaws guns only criminals (usually including the government) have guns. The honest man or woman is nothong but a waiting victim.

FTA ... “We’ve got to get this under control,” Biden said. “We’ve got to get this under control.”
Sure ting Joe. Defund more cops and drive the rest out of the job by jailing them. That should cover it.

The Left's scripted response to these aberrant acts of violence is so tiresome.
The feds spent the last 2 years driving everyone crazy with Covid lockdowns, mandated vaccinations, needless fear, and then they act so surprised when people begin to snap.
I am a law abiding gun owner.
I will not be disarmed by a bunch of incompetent morons.
I don't care how many people die.

I like when Lizzie Borden-Warden is shaking her hatchet in rage. One of these days she will self-combust.
