Terry McAuliffe Immediately Exploits Shooting to Attack Second Amendment Rights

Bernie Sanders fan James Hodgkinson has been exculpated by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe. Hodgkinson didn’t shoot House Majority Whip Steve Scalise; a gun did — and McAwful wasted no time making the most of it:

McAuliffe (D) advocated for stricter gun laws on Thursday after Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and several others were shot on a baseball field in the Washington suburb of Alexandria, Va.

Bellowed McAwful:

“I have long advocated — this is not what today is about — but there are too many guns on the streets. We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.”

Wow, 93 million Americans are killed by guns every day. Before long, that could add up to a lot.

When called on the absurdity of his assertion, McAwful said he meant 93, not 93 million. He used the 93 million figure twice in his eagerness to capitalize on the violence.

The type of hysterical hyperbole leftist demagogues like McAwful build careers on can be assumed to have motivated Hodgkinson’s shooting spree.

Anyone who doesn’t feel sick at the idea of Terry McAuliffe being Governor of Virginia probably already wants law-abiding citizens disarmed so as to leave us at the mercy of criminals, terrorists, maniacs, and hypertrophied government. As for the rest, the idea of being disarmed by moonbats like McAwful so that we cannot defend ourselves from moonbats like Hodgkinson will have limited appeal. The bad guys have no problem acquiring weapons regardless of gun laws, as Muslims have proved in Europe.
