Trust the democrats to turn anything into a gun control rallying cry and it really didn’t take long this time. Monday’s knife attack at Ohio State University was first reported as a shooting but later authorities clarified it was a knife attack. Minutes after news broke that there was an alleged active shooter, Twitter users called for stronger gun control and blamed the attack on lackluster laws.
The democrats never let a good violent act go to waste, and the facts never need to enter the argument as was apparent in this case.
- The attacker used a car and a knife to attack the students.
- The only people with guns were the police who saved lives by shooting the terrorist.
- The OSU campus is a gun-free zone.
