Kamala Harris Pushes Gun Control That Wouldn’t Have Prevented Jacksonville Shooting
NY Post ^ | 08/28/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

Vice President Kamala Harris reacted to Saturday’s shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, by pushing gun control that would not have prevented the attack.

Harris released a statement Sunday noting the shooting was racially motivated and will be investigated “as a possible hate crime and act of domestic violent extremism.”

She closed her statement by saying, “Every person in every community in America should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence. And Congress must help secure that freedom by banning assault weapons and passing other commonsense gun safety legislation.”

It’s not the gun, it’s the person using the gun that hurts or kills people!

Hell ! Trudeau used US shootings to justify gun confiscations, where the guns used in the US shootings were already illegal in Canada.

It’s like its about gun confiscation, and not about preventing shootings....

(we know that because radical DA’s like Bragg campaigned on not prosecuting gun possession)

Problem is:
It’s not OUR guns,
It YOUR sons.

...”...banning assault weapons and passing other commonsense gun safety legislation.”....

blah, blah, blah.....same ol’ s**t....assault weapons are never defined, although every left-wing politician wants to ban them, and “commonsense gun safety legislation” is just code for eventual confiscation......

Both grew up in Montreal and both have the gun-grabbing mentality.

***“Every person in every community in America should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence. ***

That problem was solved back in 1968. The democrats said so!

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.

And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...

“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.

So, this insane man who was arrested in 2017 was declared sane and allowed out on the streets gain.

“”There were no flags that could have showed up that would have prevented him from purchasing those guns,” Waters said, adding that the suspect was only 15 when he was committed for a mental evaluation under the Baker Act in 2017.”

I remember when the École Polytechnique massacre happened in Montreal Canada by one Marc Lépine. The shooter used a Ruger mini-14.
Decades later I found he was actually named Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi, a Canadian moslem whose dad was from Algeria. He hated women.

They used an Islamist anti-female terrorist attack to disarm whites.

For decades, from 1962 until 1985 the anti-gun radicals always said they ONLY wanted to register and ban handguns! “Rifles will not be affected!”
Then when the crazies let out of mental institutions started using them they found a better target than handguns to go after.

The AR-15 was not well liked back in the 1960s or 1970s.
Gun writers hated it.
Too small a caliber for deer hunting. A “Mouse” Gun!
Not really accurate.
No beautiful walnut wood.
So they spent lost of ink writing about how horrible it was.

Then in the mid 1970s Mel Tappan wrote his book on Survival Guns and an interest in the AR-15 began.
Soon Tappan started a series in a gun magazine on Survival guns and interest really took off! All sorts of semi-auto military rifles began to sell off the shelves!
Here were defense rifles even a little woman could shoot in .223 without bruising your shoulder!
Soon other magazines began to publish how great the semi-auto rifles were! “ASSAULT WEAPONS AND TACTICS” “S(urvival).W.A.T” “GUN TESTS” “GUN REPORTS”and many others.

Uzis! AR-180s AK-47/S, Fn-Fal, Styer, Daewoo, England’s SA-80!, Australia! Several nations began to make their military rifles in semi-auto just to sell in the US! IT WAS GREAT! After all, the anti-gun radicals always said they “ONLY wanted to ban HANDGUNS! Rifles would not be affected”, till they found the military looking rifles were a better target to ban than handguns!

And the screaming began about “A-S-S-AULT RIFLES! Sudenly George Bush banned the import of such weapons and all we could then get was US made semi-auto rifles.

Soon the mentally ill criminal element took notice and began to use semi-auto rifles in their crimes and mass murders.

Clinton then “banned” certain items on such rifles and called it an AW Ban!” Those same bowdlerized rifles remained on the store shelves and were selling all through the “ban”.

By now the US citizenry had taken to such semi-auto rifles like a duck takes to water! Before the “ban” there were maybe a few thousand rifles in private hands. When the Clinton administration “banned” them people rushed to buy! today there are an estimated 25 million such rifles in private hands and tens of millions of high cap magazines out there. And the government thinks they can control that?

I will say one thing. The anti-gun media did more to popularize such weapons than all the pro-gun writers in the US. People who would never touch such a rifle suddenly became interested in them.

Never give up your rights to own such rifles or handguns!

he was actually named Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi

I did not know that.

Absolutely fascinating ... Wikipedia article has a lot of interesting information on him. Moslem, from a broken home on account of his mohammedan father abandoned wife and kids, rejected for enlistment in the Canadian Forces (on account of being a nutter) ...

71 murders in Jacksonville so far this year and the media and liberals only care about three of them.

Every person in every community in America should have the freedom to live safe from gun violence, says Kamala.

Does that include American citizens along the Mexican border?

Or innocent bystanders in most American cities?
