The monster commonly known as ‘Gun Violence’ will never be effectively addressed by the unconstitutional passing and attempted enforcing of gun laws—specifically those laws aimed at law-abiding gun owners and users.
Of the five deadliest shootings in the U.S. since 2020, four of the states in which they occurred have at least a “B” grade for gun laws from Gun Control Nonprofit.

The mass shooting in California that left 10 people dead this past weekend is the latest reminder that nearly all of the deadliest mass shootings in America since COVID-19 have occurred in states with strict gun laws.
The worst mass shooting by far since the start of the COVID pandemic occurred in Uvalde, Texas, when 21 elementary school students were killed. The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gives Texas an F grade for gun laws, as the state allows permitless carry and does not have restrictions on assault armalite-style weapons, among other things.
However, of the five worst shootings in the United States since 2020, four of the states in which they occurred have at least a “B” grade from Giffords.
Excluding murder-suicides within a family, half of the ten deadliest mass shootings over this period occurred in states that received at least an “A-” gun law grade.
Date | State | Giffords Gun Law Grade | Fatalities, excluding perpetrators | More information |

5/24/2022 | Texas | F | 21 | 18-year-old kills 12 at Robb Elementary School before being killed by officer |
1/21/2023 | California | A | 10 | Monterey Park shooting at ballroom dance studio following Lunar New Year celebration, suspect on the run as of Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023 |

4/15/2021 | Indiana | D- | 8 | Former FedEx employee killed eight workers before turning the gun on himself |

6/4/2020 | Alabama | F | 7 | Seven people, purportedly part of a local “Seven Deadly Sins” club, were allegedly killed by two club members at a home, which was subsequently set on fire |
With an “A” grade, California is ranked as the state with the strongest gun laws, according to Giffords. The state says it generally prohibits “large-capacity” magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and warns residents who were arrested without having charges filed against them that they may be unable to obtain a license to own a firearm, among other things.
Just three of the states where the ten worst shootings occurred have “F” grades: Texas, Georgia and Alabama.
Final thoughts: What does this tell us about Gun Laws? Exactly! Gun Laws are not the answer and passing new gun laws is not addressing the actual problem–gun violence. In America, the elected and appointed communists/globalists are mistaken at best and harbor harmful, evil ulterior motives at worst.
Gun Laws are Unconstitutional and the communists/globalists are not seeking to end gun violence by passing new gun laws. They are lying when they say that is their goal. Their goal—direct and simple—is to disarm We the People.
Conservatism—with a commanding control of both houses of congress and the executive branch—will be able to go a long way toward sensibly identifying the causes of and addressing gun violence.
God speed to Conservatism.
