The ghoulishness of gun control activists comes in the wake of tragedies they know nothing about while offering proposals that would do nothing to prevent them. President Joe Biden perfectly embodies that mindset.
The shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade predictably brought out the braindead takes from liberal athletes and sports pundits who know nothing about guns, gun laws, or much of anything else. But Biden, who should know better, also raced to stand on corpses to promote his own agenda. “Today’s events should move us, shock us, shame us into acting,” Biden said. “What are we waiting for? What else do we need to see? How many more families need to be torn apart?”
What are we waiting for? How about a single fact about how or where the suspects got a gun or even who the suspects are in the first place?
Had we done that, you would start to see some flaws in Biden parading around a corpse along with the 22 other people injured to promote gun control. For one, two of the three suspects who were arrested were juveniles, meaning that they are younger than 18 years old, meaning that they are not allowed to own a gun.
So, what then? Do we need to make minors owning guns even more illegal than it already is? In fact, we don’t even know if those two juvenile suspects were the ones who fired shots. We don’t know if they had guns, where they got the guns, who the third suspect is, if that person had a gun, where that person got a gun, or whether any of these three have gang affiliations or criminal histories. While witnesses saw the suspect and the gun, there has been no media reporting even on whether the gun was a handgun or an “assault weapon.”

Therefore, we don’t know whether an “assault weapons” ban would do anything. We don’t know whether the “gun show loophole” applies. We don’t know whether an “expanded background check” would have solved anything. (We don’t even know what “expanded background check” means). We don’t know whether the guns were purchased legally or not, why two juveniles were involved and to what extent, or almost anything else. All we know is that Biden does not care about any of this. He just wants an excuse to take people’s guns.
Gun control activists, whether sincere in their concerns or not, do not treat shooting victims as victims. They treat them as opportunities, as stepping stones that they then use to try and reach their gun control goals. If they cared about them, they would focus on what went wrong and what can be fixed, not on their one-size-fits-all gun control talking points that would do nothing to prevent most shootings and likely would do nothing to have prevented this one. Biden personifies that ghoulish mindset, which is why his position should never be humored.
