That Really Did Not Take Long -- Democrats Are Pushing Gun Control in Response to Bombings

As if on cue, senate Democrat leader Harry Reid came out with a statement in response to the terrorist bombings in New York and New Jersey and the knife attack by ISIS in St. Cloud Minnesota.  According to Reid, it is up to Congress to make sure that suspected terrorists cannot buy guns.  I would quote the entire text, but I don't want anyone to get sick.

It's something that ought to enrage us all.  In the space of a few days, we had multiple stabbings by an ISIS terrorist in St. Cloud Minnesota, bombs in NJ aimed at Marines, bombs in New York City aimed at random people on the street, and bombs in Linden NJ with unknown targets.  No guns were involved except for the gun used by the bombing suspect arrested today.  Of course, the suspect was not on any list of suspected terrorists, so the law that Reid proposes would not have kept him from getting that gun.  Americans have been put at risk, and the Democrat answer is to talk about gun control.  Gun control is totally useless for stopping bombs.

Why can't the Democrats address the actual situation?  The senator from my own state of Connecticut is a non-stop advocate for useless gun control measures.  Now that we have seen all these pressure cooker bombs, senator Murphy may start calling for common sense pressure cooker safety legislation. 

I wonder what's next.  Will Hillary Clinton announce that her plan to stop terrorism involves ending global warming?  After all, she doesn't seem to have a clue on most things.  She puts a quarter of the American people into her basket of deplorables as "irredeemable" racists, sexists, homophobes and other terrible things.  Somehow, though, Hillary cannot manage to say anything nasty about the Islamic terrorists who are trying to kill Americans at random on the streets of our cities.
