How the Gun Nuts Try to Excuse Away the Santa Barbara Slaughter—and Why They’re All Wrong
And this heart wrenching interview with the father of one of the Santa Barbara victims pretty much sums it up for me. What he says about the politicians is bang on.
They have their talking points at the ready for these, and they immediately got started: If we ban guns, they warned, then we have to ban knives and cars, because he used those to kill and injure people, too. California has liberal gun laws, and this proves they don’t work, they insisted. There is nothing we can do to stop gun violence, they recited; guns don't kill people, people do.
As usual, the gun nuts are wrong, and not one of these stands up to the slightest scrutiny.
