The post-Sandy Hook era was the golden age of liberal gun ignorance but a coordinated effort by gun control groups got them to STFU and stop saying stupid things. There are however indications that the stupidity is coming back. MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace is demanding answers to why the left doesn’t create laws that make illegal guns illegal.
Wallace was reacting to Oklahoma, which recently passed a law that pretty much bans all abortions. Since all liberals think that guns and abortions are the same thing, she posed this asinine question to her guest:

“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?” Wallace asked.
This is such an insanely stupid question, it’s going to take some time to properly unf*ck. First of all, the Supreme Court hasn’t green-lit vigilantism in any way. I’m assuming she is referring to the leaked draft decision that indicates Roe v. Wade is going to be overturned. That hasn’t happened yet and when and if it does, that’s not vigilantism, it’s a Constitutional ruling by the highest court in the land.
Next, and most importantly, illegal guns are already illegal. Why in the f*ck would the left or anybody else need to make a law against something that is already against the law? She’s demanding that something that is already criminalized be made into a crime.
This is as dumb as her saying, “I don’t understand why people keep getting murdered. We should have some kind of law that makes illegal killing illegal or something.”
Wallace’s guest knew the question was stupid and tried to be nice by waffling that he supposed something could be done but added, “The thing I wouldn’t want is people taking guns away from other people.”
To which Wallace interjected, “Illegal guns!”
Wallace can’t wrap her head around the idea that nobody is doing anything about illegal guns so ,in a really stupid and unaware way, she’s essentially saying that gun laws should be enforced. Of course she doesn’t realize that these gun laws already exist so she gets no credit for stumbling across it.
In the context of the Oklahoma abortion law, what Wallace is really demanding is that blue states pass tough gun laws. Since she’s the least informed person on television, she doesn’t realize that California, New, York, Illinois, etc… already have extremely restrictive gun control laws.
And in the context of her “vigilantism” line what she’s saying is that blue states should pass gun laws that defy the Constitutional 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Again, New York and California have gun control laws that are being challenged Constitutionally. Is it weird that someone on MSNBC has no idea what’s going on or what the hell she’s talking about?
I get the impression that Wallace’s real intention is to say, “If Oklahoma can ban abortions why can’t California ban guns?” The answer to that is easy, which would explain why Wallace doesn’t understand: Gun ownership is protected by the Constitution while killing babies is not.
