There a was a shooting at a garlic festival in Gliroy, CA on Sunday in which 3 people were killed and 15 injured. This qualifies as a mass shooting under the Obama interpretation so of course the democrats are exploiting the tragedy to push their unconstitutional gun control agenda. Joe Biden woke up from a nap and said this shooting proves “we” have to fix our broken gun laws. Eventually one of his staffers will let him know that the shooting took place in California, a place with the strictest gun control laws in the country.
Fox News reports the actual facts of the shooting:
The deceased gunman who killed three and injured 15 at a Northern California food festival Sunday night has been identified by authorities as Santino William Legan, according to multiple reports.
Police said it took less than a minute for officers to respond after gunfire erupted at the Gilroy Garlic Festival at 5:41 p.m. last night.
“We had many, many officers in the park at the time that this occurred as we do any day during a festival, which accounts for the very, very quick response time,” Gilroy Chief of Police Scot Smithee told reporters following the shooting.
So the actual story is the quick response of police, who mitigated the death toll. I wouldn’t expect any democrats to note how the presence of armed good guys stopped this from being a much bigger tragedy. No, they are going with the counter-intuitive argument that less good guys with guns means more safety.
Here’s Joe Biden’s take:
This violence is not normal. How many more families will have to lose a loved one before we fix our broken gun laws? We must take action, starting with real reform.
Our thoughts are with everyone in Gilroy this evening. Enough is enough. https://t.co/wHqY9RE8Nu

As was mentioned, this shooting took place in California, a state with more gun “reform” than any other place in America. Califonians have to pass a background check to buy ammo, for crying out loud. The only takeaway from this shooting is that California’s insane gun control laws don’t do jack-shit to stop crazy people from doing evil things.
The only way Biden’s tweet makes any sense is if he’s calling California’s gun laws ineffectual and demanding their repeal, which he is most certainly not doing. He’s saying California and the country need more gun control laws that don’t stop criminals from committing crimes, which is exactly as stupid as it sounds.
Also, did you notice how Biden offered “thoughts” for the victims, but stopped short of adding prayers? As you know, democrats are shitty people who think offering “thoughts and prayers” is an offensive gesture. Biden almost f*cked up.
Some of the other 2020 also couldn’t let a tragedy go without exploiting it. Here’s Elizabeth Warren with a factually-challenged tweet:
Yesterday, 4 people were killed and dozens more injured in senseless gun violence attacks in Gilroy and Brooklyn. One of the victims was a 6-year-old child. And these are just the few that made headlines. I’m heartsick. We have a gun violence epidemic. It’s our duty to act—now.

No, it was 3 fatalities, but whatever. Actually what Warren is doing is counting the gunman in the death toll, which is another shitty thing democrats do to make shootings sound worse. Nobody besides liberals thinks it’s a tragedy that a piece of shit was killed by the police.
Speaking of space cadets, Beto O’Rourke essentially dedicated a love song to the victims:
Sending love to all who are hurting tonight—and all who are affected by the 40,000 gun deaths in America each year. We can accept this as our fate or we can change it. Following the lead of the students marching for their lives, and for all of ours, I know we can end this crisis.

“This one goes out to all of the victims and anyone who feels victimized. Much love from the Beta Man.”
Weirdly enough, most of the other 2020 democrats didn’t even bother tweeting about the garlic festival shooting because they were too busy raging against President Trump’s “racism” over calling Baltimore a toilet. What that means is that democrats actually believe that Trump saying something true about a filthy crime-ridden hellhole is more important than innocent people getting murdered. Like I said, democrats are the worst people there are.
