Here we go again.
Before anything is known in detail about the tragic shooting in Lewiston, Maine. Before the alleged shooter has been captured. Before anything at all is known about his weapon and how he acquired it, the gun controllers are out there. Here’s Breitbart’s headline: https://www.breitbart.com/2nd-
Shannon Watts Criticizes Lack of Gun Control in Maine Before Suspect Apprehended, Facts Known
The story reports:
“Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts reacted to Wednesday’s shootings in Maine by criticizing the lack of gun control in the state, and she did so prior to a shooting suspect being apprehended or facts being known.
Watts tweeted, “MAINE DOES NOT: Require background checks on all gun sales. Have a red flag law. Prevent domestic abusers from accessing guns. Ban assault weapons. Limit magazine capacity. Require concealed carry permits. Restrict open carry.”
Then she went on:
“This year, Republicans in Maine rejected a bill @momsdemand fought for that would have required a 72-hour waiting period. THAT’S IT – 72 fucking hours was too much to ask the GOP to buy a gun.
IT IS HARDER TO BUY SUDAFED THAN AN AR-15 IN MAINEhttps://t.co/B2rvSOXJYM

She did not mention that California has all the gun controls she accused Maine of lacking, yet California ledthe nation in “active shooter incidents” in 2021.
Moreover, Watts criticized Maine’s gun controls before facts about the shootings were known or a suspect — or suspects — were apprehended.”
This was reported by Breitbart’s seriously astute reporter AWR Hawkins. For those not familiar with him, his Breitbart bio notes:
“AWR Hawkins is an award-winning Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News and the writer/curator of Down Range with AWR Hawkins, a weekly newsletter focused on all things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News. He is the political analyst for Armed American Radio and a Turning Point USA Ambassador.”
Which is to say, Hawkins knows what he is talking about when it comes to the never ending efforts to eliminate the Second Amendment. And note well that Hawkins points out this:
“She did not mention that California has all the gun controls she accused Maine of lacking, yet California ledthe nation in ‘active shooter incidents’ in 2021.”
Bingo.
The obvious here is that if someone out there is determined to commit mass murder, getting the gun to do it is easy to do illegally. The law, the red flags, the barriers put in place by gun controllers will make absolutely no difference. If they are willing to commit mass murder, getting their hands illegally on the gun to do it is not a problem.
Will the gun controllers learn this?
Are you kidding?
