“Gun violence” was a topic of discussion on Nicolle Wallace’s MSNBC program today, and one takeaway quote is a real head scratcher (video via Grabien News founder Tom Elliott):

“What about a vigilante law on the other side. I mean obviously if the Supreme Court has green-lit vigilantism, why hasn’t the Left come out with laws about illegal guns?”
Well, for starters, perhaps because “illegal guns” are already illegal?
Yes, we need a law that people can’t break laws. 🤦🏻♂️ #dumbasastick pic.twitter.com/Bi5WVKsYHD

You’ll see nothing but the hottest of takes on MSNBC.
Why don't we just, like, make murder illegal and stuff?

“Why doesn’t the Supreme Court come out with laws against _____”
First, they’re so used to doing this they forgot that courts aren’t supposed to MAKE laws. That’s the legislature!
Second, illegal guns ARE illegal, you IDIOT!!! https://t.co/OCMJY9eu9z

Other than that her logic was totally sound!
Aren’t illegal guns against the law by definition?

As is murder, but that fact seems to be overlooked by many in their quest to score political points off horrific mass shootings committed by psychopaths.
