'Here, have a rainbow': ThinkProgress' Igor Volsky thinks criminals care about laws

Igor Volsky is smarter than you. He’s also smarter than Marco Rubio. No, really! Prepare to be astounded by Igor’s massive intellect.

Earlier today, Rubio had the gall — the gall! — to suggest that criminals won’t be deterred by stricter gun control laws:

New gun laws won’t stop criminals intent on committing violence. https://t.co/UFLFd7rgPM

None of the major shootings that have occurred in this country over the last few months or years that have outraged us, would gun laws have prevented them. In fact, many of them existed despite the fact that local jurisdictions had gun laws even stricter than what you find in other jurisdictions. We have a violence problem in America, and we should be concerned about the violence . . .

Well, Igor knows better. He knows a lot better. Just look:

The problem isn’t that criminals don’t follow laws. It's that criminals aren’t dissuaded by WEAK laws. https://t.co/qMwIeyUTu8

If you could all just take a moment and bless Igor’s heart, that’d be great.

@igorvolsky @marcorubio Make believe can be fun.

It’s certainly a lot easier than reality.

@rclifford70 @igorvolsky what makes you think if guns are completely illegal that criminals pre meditated mass murders won't happen?

@igorvolsky @marcorubio Like the laws we have against murder? Are those too weak?

.@igorvolsky The law against homicide is a weak law? Because mass shooters aren't dissuaded by it either.
