Ocasio-Cortez Uses Synagogue Shooting To Push Gun Control Bill

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Saturday used a shooting at a California synagogue that left one person dead to demand the Senate act on a gun control bill.

One person is dead and three others are injured following the shooting at Chabad of Poway synagogue, authorities said. Police have one suspect in custody, who is described as a 19-year-old male.

“Heartbroken to hear of the San Diego synagogue shooting, particularly so on this final day of Passover,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a tweet, before pivoting to gun control.

“We have a responsibility to love + protect our neighbors,” she wrote. “The longer the Senate delays holding a vote on #HR8, the more we put Americans at risk.”

The legislation expands federal background checks to include private transfers and could effectively ban Americans ages 18 to 20 from acquiring handguns. The Democratically controlled House passed HR8 in February.

California, where the shooting took place, recently tightened statewide gun laws.

Legislation that took effect in January raised the age for purchasing a long gun from 18 to 21. A federal judge in March struck down a law banning firearm magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

Gun control is the hallmark of tyranny.

This horse faced horse toothed braying jackass needs to be put to pasture. I am so goddamned tired of hearing the screeching about gun control when the places that have the most stringent laws have all the crime. All of said cities are run by Democrats. You do not see these kinds of crimes in Republican controlled states now do we?

Surrounded by armed guards, the Hogg Bros sing - Take The Guns

AOC has come out of the closet as a Trumpkin Republican.

I am tempted to say it takes a lot of gall for HER to pretend she cares about Jews being killed,but the truth is she is so stupid she really has no idea what she is saying most of the time.

I hope that someday someone develops a drug that makes you semi-sane. I also hope it is a Jew.

For every person killed by a guy in the USA, 100 are killed in auto accidents. Therefore, it far more important to ban autos than guns.

Over 1 million times a year, a person with a gun stops a crime, without shooting any one.
