It’s almost astonishing to witness how determined the Republican politicians are to commit seppuku by embracing gun control:
Congressional Republicans, under intense pressure to respond to this weekend’s massacres, are coalescing around legislation to help law enforcement take guns from those who pose an imminent danger — a measure that, if signed into law, would be the most significant gun control legislation enacted in 20 years.
Now, after back-to-back shootings this weekend left 31 people dead in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, Republicans who have long resisted gun restrictions appear rattled. In Ohio, Gov. Mike DeWine was shouted down on Sunday by mourners in Dayton demanding that he “do something.” On Tuesday, he urged his fellow Republicans in the state legislature to pass measures establishing red flag powers and expanding background checks.
“They were absolutely right,” Mr. DeWine said Tuesday morning at a news conference. “We must do something, and that is exactly what we are going to do.”
Gun control is unconstitutional, immoral, unAmerican, and intrinsically dangerous to the citizenry. It’s also electoral suicide for Republicans. If we didn’t already know many of them are cucks hell-bent on surrendering at any cost, it would be hard to understand why they are so quick to embrace the media’s false narrative on the subject.
