Guess who's being blamed for the Walmart shooting

Just like the left would like to have the government take on all of the responsibilities of our lives, they want to make President Trump responsible for the behavior of a crazed mass shooter who killed 20 and wounded 26 in an El Paso Walmart on Saturday morning.

Predictably, the Democridiots jumped on the "Blame Trump for All Bad Behavior in America" bandwagon, even before all of the dead were removed from the scene. It's their go=to knee-jerk reaction because their actual ideas are untenable promises designed to get votes from a naive public.

And to blame anyone for the violence of another individual is not only stupid, it's immoral. Notice how quiet the left and the media was when a Bernie Sanders supporter shot up the Republican baseball game a few years ago, seriously injuring Steve Scalise.

Two immoral nonessential Democrats faced sharp criticism on social media Saturday after attempting to link the massacre to President Trump.

Sen. Amy ["the staff-abuser"] Klobuchar (D-MN), one of many socialists and Democrats hoping to block Trump's bid for a second term in the White House, made her remarks at a labor forum event in Las Vegas.

“The individuals who do the shootings are responsible," Klobuchar said, stating the obvious, "but I do think Trump's rhetoric has fueled more hate in this country.”Klobuchar, never letting a horrible tragedy go to waste, tweeted for gun reform legislation.

"Today innocent people—families—went to that mall in El Paso," she tweeted dramatically. "Some of them never came home. The U.S. House has passed common sense gun safety legislation. It is long past time to pass it in the Senate. The question to ask: Whose side are you on? The NRA’s or the people’s."

So not only is it President Trump's hatred that fueled the shooter, it's also the fault of the National Rifle Association because they teach gun safety and responsible gun ownership while advocating for the inalienable rights of the people under the U.S. Constitution.

Next we have Beto. An upward-bound loser who is also hoping to win the Democratic nomination for the 2020 presidential election and promises the country that he will eat dirt and say something in broken Spanish if he loses his bid.

Here's Beto after eating dirt

O'Rourke, whose real name is Robert Francis, not Beto, also blamed the president for the shooting while speaking Spanish and English in El Paso, which he represented when he was in Congress and later lost to Sen. Ted Cruz in a senatorial bid.

"He is a racist, and he stokes racism in this country," O'Rourke told reporters, as he stoked anti-Trump hatred in this country. "We've had a rise in hate crimes every single one of the last three years. During an administration where you've had the president call Mexicans rapists and criminals."While some on social media praised the candidates' comments, others criticized them for politicizing the shooting.

Actually, the Texas violent crime rate increased in 2015, possibly due to the serious decrease in the state's police force. with a police-to-population ratio that is the lowest in the nation.

But O'Rourke is to facts as oil is to water.

So people took to Twitter to comment on Klobuchar and O'Rourke:

“Amy! Thank you for all that you do and we need more! This president needs to be held accountable for these deaths and this carnage. He is complicit, he is an accessory to this crime as he instigates hate amongst his followers,” one willfully blind supporter tweeted.

Another responded to Klobuchar:

“I see you blamed President Trump as usual for supposed hate crime in shootings in El Paso GMAFB you Democrats always trying to get a Political over this BS. You have had years to fix the gun violence but you and all of congress can’t work,” one wrote.

One user said that Klobuchar is the one spouting hateful rhetoric.

“Ms klobuchar enough, don’t blame President Trump your hateful rhetoric fuels hate so just because your running for President,” the Twitter user wrote. "Better yet get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness since the Dems have taken God out of everything the devil is dancing.

"@BetoORourke Could you stop the politics long enough to be respectful to all that have been affected by this horrendous act of violence. R.E.S.P.E.C.T." another user tweeted.

At last week's presidential debates, Klobuchar said that she supports an assault weapons ban, but didn't explain what an assault weapon is--apparently, any weapon that fires as a semi-automatic weapon is an assault weapon in her mind. In actuality, a military-style assault weapon is one the fires automatically and usually contains a selector switch to allow it to fire semi-automatically. If you don't know the difference between these two functions, you probably shouldn't be discussing gun control. Klobuchar doesn't seem to know.

In the United States, automatic weapons [aka machine guns--those that keep firing as long as the trigger remains depressed] are already banned. A semi-automatic weapon requires a trigger pull for each round fired, but if you're reading Brain Flushings, you probably already know that.

Klobuchar also said that she would have universal background checks for gun buyers. Not many conservatives are against that, but let's not kid ourselves, the Democrats want total gun confiscation. And if this happens, only law abiding citizens will give up their guns while the lawless will keep them; only the lawful will be disarmed.

Klobuchar also criticized the president, saying he hadn't done enough in response to a shooting in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 people dead in 2018, but she did not criticize President Obama for the 156 mass shooting incidents that occurred during his watch in which four or more people were killed, not including the shooter. In total, there were 1,187 victims shot, 848 were killed, and 339 were shot and injured.

In 54 percent of cases, the shootings were related to domestic or family violence. In nearly half the cases--42 percent--the shooter showed warning signs before the shooting that indicated they posed a danger to themselves or others. Over a third of the shootings--34 percent--involved a shooter prohibited from possessing a firearm. The vast majority--63 percent--took place entirely in private homes.

So what is the solution? Here are a few ideas:

1. Background checks on all firearm sales. This should be a no brainer to prevent the wrong people, from buying guns.
2. Strong domestic violence laws to keep guns out of the hands of abusers.
3. Red flag laws that allow family members and law enforcement to seek at least a temporary removal of guns from those people who have exhibited recent dangerous behavior.

Some folks think that restricting magazine capacity to limit the number or rounds shooters can fire without reloading is also a good idea, but it takes just a few seconds for a practiced shooter to pop in another magazine and start shooting again.

The president reacted to the El Paso shooting on Twitter, writing, “Today’s shooting in El Paso, Texas, was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice. I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today’s hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people....”

As this is being written, I have just learned of another shooting in Dayton, Ohio in which 9 people were killed, I believe. You know the words to the song the Democrats are going to sing, as usual.

But yes, some things need to be done, but gun confiscation or attacking the NRA are not any of those things.
