A shooting in Jacksonville, Florida yesterday at a video game tournament left two people dead and more than ten injured before the killer turned the gun on himself. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin was among those rushing to assign blame in predictable fashion:
I’m heartbroken for Jacksonville. No community should have to suffer from such senseless gun violence. When will Congress have the courage to stand up to the NRA and pass meaningful reforms to help prevent these shootings in America?

Weren’t many Dems just recently criticizing Republicans for “politicizing” a horrible story?
Funny how it's okay for Democrats to push gun control every time there's a shooting, but not okay for Rs to call for immigration control when an illegal murders someone…

Dems like Durbin make up the rules as they go along, and if something doesn’t fit the preferred narrative, they look away:
#NewMexico Terrorist Camp…murdering children and training them to be school shooters. Not a peep from the #GunControlNow crowd and the cowardly politicians. Why is that?

Go figure!
Durbin was told to get his priorities straight:
Maybe start in your own back yard?

Seriously, did you send this tweet from your Chicago office? https://t.co/GSTW7nz8Hm

Gun control is working so well in Chicago, right Dick? When will YOU have the courage to address Chicago gun violence? Not heartbroken for them, huh? https://t.co/VNkxij2rtx

As for new laws Durbin seems to want, first maybe he should explain why the old laws didn’t work:
"Meaningful reform" == laws that punish gun owners, make libs feel better about themselves, but will do absolutely nothing to reduce or eliminate attacks with guns.

It was a gun free zone Senator. https://t.co/cBETP0ANeu

The killer was in a gun free zone. There was a law against guns being present at the venue.
What laws do you need to pass when the current ones aren't being enforced?
Immigration laws aren't being imposed so you want new laws, gun laws aren't being imposed so you want new laws? https://t.co/nNZ7whIuRh— Rising serpent (@rising_serpent) August 27, 2018
