There have been a lot of sad and sorry takes on the church shooting in White Settlement, Texas, on Sunday morning (looking at you, Tom Nichols). But the saddest of all may have been this response by actor John Leguizamo, who tagged failed presidential (and senatorial) candidate Beto O’Rourke in his tweet as if the guy who said, “Hell yes, we’re gonna take your AR-15” during September’s debate is going to do something about it.
Besides, there were no AR-15s involved in the White Settlement incident, despite those being the bogeyman of the gun-grabbing crowd and the one firearm they always promise to ban.
In any case, Leguizamo proclaims that Texas is unsafe because of the lax gun laws.
Texas Unsafe because of lax gun laws! @BetoORourke these candidates will change all that!!! @GinaOrtizJones @_SemaHernandez_ @JCisnerosTX https://t.co/snehpxLDyJ

Dana Loesch wants to know which lax gun laws allowed the shooting to take place, and which ones stopped it from becoming a massacre.
I am not sure to which “lax law” you’re referring? The murderer was already a prohibited possessor. The only change in law was the one affirming the right of law-abiding congregants to defend them selves in houses of worship. Do you mean that one? https://t.co/8A7l2OlKiV

I think he does mean that one about law abiding congregants being allowed to protect themselves. I think these creepy crazies on the left would prefer more casualties.

You hate to even think it, but judging by some of their reactions, it seems the pro-gun control crowd would have preferred the armed hero who took down the assailant to have been prohibited from carrying.
Does @JohnLeguizamo know criminals don't obey laws?

Why don’t we pass a law to make murder Illegal?? Problem solved!

Because a man not scared by 1st degree murder charges will definitely think twice about going against a stricter gun law. Yes, this is definitely going to stop him!

Texas gun laws seem to work pretty good if ya ask me!!

Lot of DA texans voted for Beto.

Texas doesn't have lax guns. It as all the laws of the federal government + additional state laws all regarding who can have a gun, where they can have a gun, and which guns they can own.

Yes, I think that's the one he means. He makes no distinction between criminals and the law abiding. To him, if you have a gun you're part of the problem because guns let people do bad things. It's simplistic, almost childish, but evidently it's what @JohnLeguizamo thinks.

He is referring to, you know, the un-lax one. The one that would prevent all gun violence. That one. Everyone knows which one. Don't play dumb. The one where people can't use a gun to or get a gun or load a gun. You know. pic.twitter.com/msETrVMmiK

My daddy always said ignorance is curable.
Thing is you gotta have a curious mind to search for knowledge otherwise you’re susceptible to the folly of misinformation— The Mayor (@WadeHollowell) December 31, 2019
I think he means the criminals are unsafe because their victims are allowed to defend themselves

Why are these people upset there WASN’T a massacre? Were they ready to virtue signal in their script now they can’t??? Shame. pic.twitter.com/guQVI8ZyZN

Why do people demanding “common sense” gun laws lack the former and know nothing of the latter?

Kinda odd that his tweet has 1 retweet and 8 likes compared to Dana’s with 90 retweets and 385 likes

This is why we need not spend much time on the musings of the court jester class.

Hey, he’s not out of work. He was in “John Wick” — you know, that movie with the strong anti-gun message?
