Predictably, celebrities are blaming the NRA and not the shooter for the massacre, and they’re calling for what Sally Kohn is now calling “BASIC common sense gun reform.”
Another mass shooting, this time at an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in Tehama County in Northern California. Tragic and sickening! Exactly how many people have to die before Congress acts on BASIC common sense gun reform?!?!

Doesn’t California already have some of the most strict gun control in the country? And that didn’t stop the shooter?
California has the top state rating from the Brady Foundation. Try again. https://t.co/l2PXGpGLg8

California's laws are the MOST strict in the country, not a single national law proposed is as tough as California, not even close. Try again. https://t.co/wtRLEWU451

What, exactly, is basic common sense gun reform?
Stop. Be specific. https://t.co/Ubn2k4FTA5

Just because you call something "common sense":
1. Doesn't mean it is
2. Doesn't make any promise to work. https://t.co/9Z37cYewrE— Sexiest Jedi Alive (@LaBeardGuy) November 14, 2017
Sorry, Sally, but people like you have made it quite apparent that knowledge on firearms is not common. How are we to believe equally ignorant lawmakers will pass any "common sense" gun laws? https://t.co/rwABIAhoWD

Define "BASIC common sense" or is it just a term you use to be condescending towards people who don't hold the same views as you? https://t.co/s3FDKtaKcb

They never define "common sense gun reform" it's just a buzz phrase the left uses to put up a guise of caring. https://t.co/N3FhRZ3JdV

As usual, Sally is completely fact-free in her analysis. https://t.co/rTDBuhWYhW

It was at 7 different locations and no students were killed at the elementary school.
But hey, I can type in ALL CAPS and use lots of ?!?!?!?!?!?! https://t.co/BBWqDby817

1. It wasn’t a mass shooting
2. It started out as a domestic violence incident
3. What makes you automatically assume this person was a legal gun owner?
4. Stop blaming congress because CRIMINALS break the law https://t.co/pRIhrkQgAN— chels (@thefunnymuggle) November 14, 2017

I bet Sally wishes we had background checks and a ban against "assault rifles" and "30 round clips". https://t.co/629Dp4haCH

Does common sense mean ban, seize, mandatory buyback? That’s the only thing to decrease # of guns. So why not be specific and say so? https://t.co/i44aDI80dh

Another lefty scream of "common sense gun control" without any substantive suggestion. How is this helpful? Its this type of hysteria that leads me to believe they won't be happy until it's Australia-level crackdown on guns. Even then… https://t.co/10jB0tfOha

Just yesterday, The Boston Globe floated the idea of gun seizures and buybacks from law-abiding citizens.
Schools are already gun-free zones, Sally. And just look how well that worked out. https://t.co/ayYDFLl6IK

This quick reaction – without some basic facts – is why her side loses on this issue. https://t.co/hJNeHSqAqN

Congress has enacted "BASIC common sense gun reform." Those laws are on the books and have been for a long time now. You ought to be honest about the fact that you and many other on the left want far more extreme and divisive action on guns. https://t.co/DVszOsftQv
