🚨Dave Rubin notices THIS about the Democrats' Shallow 'Gun Control' Narrative: If guns are taken away after this, it would create a short-term incentive where people would commit violence to trigger gun confiscation, believing that killing people would lead to guns being taken.

#WATCH: Elizabeth May says the death of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy and the reason political violence spreads more in the U.S is because of their weak gun laws. Is she drunk? In May's mind, if guns were banned, nobody would be shot and killed with a firearm.

Trump: This would be the only insurrection in history where people went in as insurrectionists with not one gun. The people that you are talking about have a lot of guns in their home for hunting and shooting and entertainment.. But there wasn't one gun that they found

What’s working to reduce this kind of gun violence? Kris Brown | @KrisBrown.BradyUnited.org of Brady United: “Being anchored in facts is super important and there are a lot of lies that the gun industry has propagated…including the big lie that more guns make us safer. If more guns made us safer, we’d be the safest country on earth.”

Two West Virginia National Guard members lay in critical condition after being shot in Washington DC today, just steps away from the White House. Donald Trump had already left Washington in favor of Florida for the holidays, so there was never any danger there. This has to make us question if we’re doing gun control right. …right?! There needs to be a line when it comes to gun legislation and our rights. …even the military knows that. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #guns #gunrights #2a #military #veteran

Steve Kerr calls for common sense gun control after the Brown University shooting. "What we're trying to do is minimize the deaths and minimize the violence. And we know that common sense gun safety laws actually do that. In fact, the states with the five strongest gun safety laws have a 75% reduction in gun death rates compared to the five with the weakest gun safety laws." In a made up, idealistic world, that would be great. In REALITY, gun control is FAR from common sense.

To put it plainly, yesterday this out-of-control SCOTUS ruled that the right to carry a gun is more important than a state's right to protect its people. Our country is awash in guns, and these decisions do nothing to make us safer.

Kentucky doesn’t need to codify federal gun control. Yesterday in Judiciary Committee, legislators heard a bill proposal that would change Kentucky law to adopt a federal firearm restriction. I’m vehemently opposed to gun control at the federal level—why on earth would we want to codify it into a state law here in the Commonwealth?! As a stalwart defender of our Second Amendment Rights, it is my hope that federal firearm restrictions will be repealed by Congress, or at least overturned like the bump stock ban. The last thing we need is more gun control at the state level. Those of us working to repeal existing gun control laws already have our hands full! This is Kentucky, and our right to keep and bear arms is not negotiable. 🇺🇸

When it comes to America's gun debate, Jason Kander explains why one relatively unknown piece of legislation is the key to changing everything. "The real thing that's going on in this country is not between people who want gun safety and people who own guns — it should be between everyday Americans, whether they love guns or not, and the gun companies that are making enormous profits without having to have any responsibility for the danger of the product they create."

🚨SHAMEFUL: House Democrats Disrupt Moment Of Silence And Prayer For Charlie Kirk Shouting NOOO NO! In the US House, they tried to honor slain Conservative activist Charlie Kirk with a moment of silence. The Chair says: "Please rise for a moment of prayer for Charlie Kirk and his family." But heartless Dems? They SHOUT "NOOO! No!" – not in grief, but to push their gun control agenda DURING the tribute! Evil? Heartless? Absolutely. They can't even let a family mourn without politicizing tragedy. This is who they are – soulless radicals mocking the dead. Wake up, America!

🚨 UNBELIEVABLE Democrat Zohran Mamdani is already exploiting Charlie Kirk’s assassination — using his death as a platform to push gun control. “Charlie Kirk is dead — yet another victim of gun violence in a nation where what should be a rarity has turned into a plague.” “We can and we must do more to challenge a status quo that has allowed this pain to become routine, that has allowed the question of which mass shooting to respond to the news of one that is shared.”
