I have not heard any Democrats, or anyone in the main stream media talk about
gun control since the shooting
gun control since the shooting
That's because you only watch Fox. You also may have missed yesterday's hearing in Congress (the now departing head of the Secret Service was testifying).
Of course it's possible that Fox did not cover the segments where gun nuts were asking questions. Plenty of other lawmakers talked about the real problem.

@Reason10 Fox literally got sued for lying about the 2020 election for Trump. They even admitted they were lying in their texts.

You dont listen.

They like guns now. Lucky for us they couldn't even hire an assassin who knows how to use one.
@Musicman Knowledge and actual ability are two separate things.

You have chosen news sources which do not tell you about them.

Nice fantasy, but once again fantasy is not fact. As after every shooting, there have been renewed calls for gun safety standards, gun control, and banning of AR-15 military style weapons. Why not say, why aren't there more calls for "Thoughts and Prayers" from maga-nuts after Cry-Baby-trump got grazed with a bullet? It seems those calls were muted... that's a first.

Mainstream conservative (who make up most of America) have actually taken the time to READ THE CONSTITUTION.
It would never occur to us to OVERTURN THE CONSTITUTION just because a DemoNAZI sniper missed Trump's head with all those shots.
Our amazing LEGALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT raised his fist in the air, daring the rest of the NAZIS to take their best shot.
We don't want gun control. We want to fix the country.

Gun control?
They knew there was a shooter and had something been done by the secret service or law enforcement, that would have been actual gun control!
Talking and yelling and shaking your fists about it doesn’t mean a damn thing.

I've heard Democrats call for more gun control. It's like calling for a ban on automobiles after someone gets killed in a car accident.

They chose the Republican response of “thoughts and prayers”

President Biden renews call to ban AR-15 rifles after Trump assassination attempt July 17, 2024
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden renewed his call for stronger gun control Tuesday following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump ...
... in a speech Tuesday in Las Vegas at the NAACP National Convention, Biden finally did − declaring it's time to ban assault weapons like the one used in the shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pa.
"An AR-15 was used in the shooting of Donald Trump, just as it was assault weapons that killed so many others including children. It's time to outlaw them," Biden said, drawing applause from supporters.

@sunsporter1649 If guns make you safer,
Why are guns banned from RNC meetings??
Why are guns banned from NRA meetings??
Why are guns banned from EVERY TRUMP RALLY??
C'mon dude, why do all these groups ban guns if guns make you safer??
Answer: Guns DON'T make you safer, and these groups know it!!
Firearms have been the leading cause of death for US children and teens since 2020, representing 19% of all deaths for children 18 years and younger in 2021.

@ElwoodBlues So why has gun crime gotten worse lately? We have far less households
with guns now, than we did 40-50 years ago when we had very little mass shootings.
Something has been broken in the mental health arena, it has nothing to do with guns.
In 1970 50% of households had guns. When I was a kid in the 60's & 70's, every family
I knew had guns and ammo in their unlocked closets, and no one EVER even thought
about playing with them, or using them. Something has changed, and it has absolutely
NOTHING, to do with guns. Only 35% of households have guns now days, and most
have them are in locked cases and safes.
What changed???

I have. It wasn’t hard to find.
Musicman · 61-69, M
You noticed that too huh. Sleepy Joe mentioned it one time then the media, Democrat propaganda machine, let it go. No one else screamed for more gun control.
swirlie · 31-35, F
The Dems don't want gun control anymore because they now see the point of gun ownership.
Of course, because the so called "target" was someone they want whacked.

@NativePortlander1970 I still wonder if the guy had succeeded would they have given him a medal and made his birthday a national holiday???
@Musicman They'd make him gun czar
