In an incredibly unsurprising move, anti-gun activists have decided to try and make political capital out of the tragic murder in Charlottesville. The advocacy and political activist group Everytown for Gun Safety has decided that because some of the attendees at the event were armed (remember that not a single shot was fired nor a gun drawn), that this is a good enough reason to start promoting gun control!?!?!
The murder was disgraceful and tragic, but it was committed with a car. These is political opportunism like we have never seen before. These groups will stop at nothing and use every tragedy they can, regardless of who gets used to push their agenda.
If they had a reasonable argument, that would be something, but this is just pure idiocy. It’s like saying someone died by falling off a roof, so we should ban pencils! There is no logic, no case, and no argument.
On August 12, “Everytown for Gun Safety” pushed for more gun control in the wake of the Charlottesville, Virginia, rally where some attendees were run over by a car.
CNN reported that one attendee was killed and 19 were injured after the driver of a car, 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr., allegedly rammed into the crowd at the rally.
In the wake of the tragic event, the political advocacy organization Everytown for Gun Safety decided to focus on the open carry gun laws in Virginia and the fact that some attendees were openly armed.
