Realizing that linear thinking and logic are fading fast in America, I can't help but raise this question once again: if liberals are so concerned about gun violence, why do they oppose tough measures to stop it?
The problem is horrifying; you can't even have a Super Bowl celebration without a mass shooting. School kids gunned down, shoppers at malls in danger, criminal gang members shooting up neighborhoods.
But when I suggest making all gun crimes federal crimes with harsh mandatory prison sentences upon conviction, the left and even some conservatives will not support the solution.
So here's a reality check. The Second Amendment allows law-abiding citizens to protect themselves with firearms. That is not going to change, and individual states should pass public safety laws that provide as much protection as possible from gun-toting criminals.
But with about 300 million guns in circulation, bans will not work; only tough punishment will.
Sell an illegal gun, five years minimum. Carry an illegal gun, three years. Fire one, ten years. First offense, no parole.
How about getting behind that, Joe Biden?
He won't. The left wants a phony gun ban, not accountability.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
