Democrats will never cease in their efforts to strip us of our Second Amendment rights. Any time there is a mass shooting, they trip over themselves to get in front of a microphone to demand more gun control laws. It doesn't matter that there are countless gun control laws on the books already — laws Democrats refuse to enforce — they insist more gun laws will magically make us 'safer.'
The reality is they won't. Last month, former Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax killed his estranged wife and himself in a murder-suicide. Fairfax was a proponent of gun control, including red flag laws that weren't followed as Fairfax's marriage fell apart and reports of increased drinking were apparently known. In Massachusetts, Judge Janet Sanders gave Boston career criminal Tyler Brown only five years after Brown — a man with a 20-year history of crimes, including firearms charges — tried to shoot two Boston police officers. Sanders admitted she was 'taking a risk' on Brown because law enforcement told her he was dangerous. Last week, Brown used a rifle to open fire on a Massachusetts road, critically wounding two commuters. And in Fairfax County, VA, Prosecutor Steve Descano released illegal alien Marvin Morales Ortez, dropping gun charges against him.
This reality doesn't matter to Democrats, because their goal is to take guns away not from criminals, but from law-abiding citizens. And when they don't get their way, they get nasty and violent, as Minnesota State Rep. Aisha Gomez did after a radical gun control bill failed to pass.
Gomez reportedly told her Republican colleague, Rep. Elliott Engen to 'go f***ing shoot himself.'

This isn't the first time Democrats have behaved poorly in a statehouse. In Tennessee, all members of the House Democratic Caucus were removed from committee assignments following their meltdown over the state's redistricting vote.
And, I fear, it won't be the last.
Once again, Republicans have chosen the gun lobby over the safety and lives of Minnesotans.

We aren’t done fighting. Not at all. But every Minnesotan deserves to know that every Republican just blocked comprehensive gun safety legislation. pic.twitter.com/uZcn5EoP84
No, they've chosen to protect the Constitutional rights of Minnesotans from Democrats' unconstitutional gun grabs. Gun grabs that do not address violence, as we've seen Democrats are unwilling to put criminals who commit gun crimes behind bars.
Governor Tim Walz didn't help, placing the blame on Republicans for not voting for 'gun violence prevention.'
Minnesotans deserve to know where their representatives stand on protecting our children.

It’s long past time for House Republicans to hold a vote on gun violence prevention. pic.twitter.com/FfIlgm0Tug
Perhaps the Democrats could start gun violence prevention by not telling their Republican opponents to shoot themselves when they don't get their way. Then again, Democrats nominated and supported Jay Jones, who fantasized about shooting Virginia Republicans and their children to enact his radical gun control agenda.
Democrats accuse gun owners and Republicans of fomenting gun violence, but the reality is far different. At the drop of a hat, Democrats are willing to engage in violence when they do not get their way politically. Their accusations are really confessions, as Gomez once again demonstrated here. They know their Republican opponents are not violent; they wouldn't say such abhorrent things if we were.
Instead, they're the violent ones, and imagine what they'd do if they ever did succeed in getting our guns.
