In a Texas a man armed with a rifle entered a church with intent to kill and was taken down by an armed citizen.
In New York a man armed with a machete entered a rabbi’s home, encountered no resistance, and stabbed five people.
What was the reaction by our politicians?
Governor Cuomo sent out a press statement condemning the recent series of antisemitic attacks in New York which isn’t worth the paper it was printed on.
Several state representatives called for the National Guard to patrol Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in the City.
As far as I can tell not a single one has come out in support of repealing our oppressive gun control laws. One, however, did try to use the Texas incident as an excuse for more gun control:
Gun violence has devastated communities & often targets the places we hold most sacred. Nobody should have to worship, or simply exist, in fear. Republicans need to work with us to #EndGunViolence & start caring about people more than the NRA. #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/CAoJtaxv3q

Republicans didn’t have the brains or the balls to stand up for 2A:
Do you see @NickLangworthy or any of the @NewYorkGOP "leadership" advocating for #2A?
No.
It's not an oversight on their part.

Neither did NRA:
@NRA you give nationwide distribution to the latest stupid shit from Marion Hammer and are dead silent here. You have a perfect opportunity to promote #2A RTC and you say nothing. Is it really asking too much to bang out a 2-3 sentence presser and e-mail it to the LCA? https://t.co/Z6A1z7H9Z5

There is a bright side, though:
