Newsom After Monterey Park Shooting: "Second Amendment Is Becoming A Suicide Pact"

[TrappedinCalifornia]

I made this a post in the OT thread on the Monterey shooting; but, I felt Newsom's reaction might deserve it's own thread in terms of how he views the Constitution (both Federal and State), how he views fundamental rights (including the right to keep and bear arms), and the fact that his name is being bandied about as a Presidential candidate. If nothing else, though we knew he wasn't done with us, what does this potentially portend in terms of gun ownership in California? If he now considers the 2nd Amendment to be a 'suicide pact,' uh...

Never let a good crisis go to waste... Newsom after Monterey Park shooting: "Second Amendment is becoming a suicide pact"

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is renewing his calls for stricter gun control measures following the mass shooting at a dance hall in Monterey Park on Saturday that killed at least 11 people and injured nine others.

"Nothing about this is surprising. Everything about this is infuriating," he told "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell on Monday. "The Second Amendment is becoming a suicide pact."

Newsom clarified that he has "no ideological opposition" against people who "responsibly" own guns and get background checks and training on how to use them...

Gee. What an even-handed guy. Aren't you glad he's our Governor? After all, he's only interested in your rights... and how quickly he can take them away.

[The Gleam]

So ironic; Maoist, Leninist, Stalinist NeoSocialist tyrants like him are the very reason we have tar, feathers, and the 2nd Amendment.

Of course he wants to do away with it and will use any rhetoric to achieve that goal and exert absolute power.

What a jerk off ! Murder is already ILLEGAL ! All the unconstitutional arms laws didnt stop that murderer. Go soil your pants Newsom.

[CessnaDriver]

I don't see him giving up his armed security details. Until then, grand hypocrite.

Whose to say both shooters hadn't done those things?

Anyone willing to give up freedom for safety deserve neither. Thy name is Newsom.

Jump'in on that soapbox ....
Dems playbook / never let a tragedy go to waste

His picture reminds me of Joe Isuzu "" Trust Me ""

Gavin is a wonderful guy and doing a great job as governor. Just ask him !!

Exactly. And the worst part is that we as taxpayers pay for his armed security.

But Newsom has it backwards. The law-abiding people who died in those shootings couldn’t defend themselves because of Newsom’s gun control laws. The shooters didn’t obey those laws. Anyone who supports gun control measures that take guns out of the hands of law-abiding people are entering into the kind of suicide pact that Newsom is talking about, because they’re agreeing to disarm themselves and the good people around them against the predatory acts of criminals who will never obey those laws.

What about building reservoirs? We already have the 10 Commandments to forbid killing...

The problem is, as despicable as he is, how many young idealist is this douche influencing? Yes, he should be standing up for our rights, not trashing them.

[CessnaDriver]

Electing democrats is the national suicide pact. Look at California”s descent.

[Jimi Jah]

So what new gun control laws does Newsolini propose that haven't been passed here yet?

We need criminal control because the old chi guy broke about every one of them.

Someone should point out to him that criminals don't obey his stupid laws.

We need criminal control. Not mass releases of felons from prison.

[broadside]

A MAC-10 with a homebuilt suppressor is already illegal, as are the assaults and murders he committed with them. What are these people thinking will happen if they had a total ban?

[Reno-Kid]

I would drop his *** in the middle LA gang bangers, from Crips/Bloods to all the Latin gangs.

Don't try to apply logic to anything Gav Boy or any California politician does. They're not stupid. They're evil, but not stupid. Every press conference, Tweet, press release that these Demons put out is carefully calculated to inundate their followers with more of their hogwash.

They're the worst of the worst, blatant psychopathic Commies, hell bent on disarming first California, then the country, then turning it into China as far as how society is ran.

I cannot wait until Miller and Duncan succeed and overturn the AW and Magazine ban. Newscum is going to cry like a little beotch.

It is interesting to me that There are a number of unconstitutional laws on the Chopping block with Judge Beintz and here we go couple mass shootings in California in a couple days.

[Rickybillegas]

They (Newsome and his anti-gun supporters) want us to be like Mexico where all ownership and carry of open or concealed weapons is prohibited and only the police, military and criminals have concealable firearms. And the murder rate is significantly higher than the US.

I am not being facetious in the least. It is not the murder rate that bothers them as much as the idea of civilians being armed. That is what they object to more than anything else. That criminals may have guns bothers them less than law abiding citizens having them.

We haven't hit bottom yet. When that does happen it will go further.

Seems like they are planned. It's like clockwork. 2A cases proceeding to possibly repeal laws and bam mass shootings back to back in California.

It's also expected before the families grieve of the loss politicians like these douchbags are at it per their manual.

[Aeneas]

At least he's somewhat admitting his intent. That's much better than the typical crap about "I support the Second Amendment" while in the same sentence saying that deer don't wear kevlar, or whatever doublespeak the Dems are using at the time.

I'm glad to see the delineation between the people who believe that they are elites and the rest of us. More people will wake up when they see what these planners have in store for us.

[Oneaudiopro]

It was amusing to see Newscum mention Judges Benitez and Nelson in his comments in Half Moon Bay today. You can tell the gloves are off in California moving forward as far as gun control goes. Just wait and see.

We know this guy would have simply gotten his hands on some firearms illegally, regardless of any laws, maybe even from politicians like Leland Yee or Eric Holder.

However, let's hypothesize that the laws were so effective he could not have: it's clear this guy was intent on killing and injuring people out of some social-misfit concocted revenge, so just what might he have done for lack of a firearm?

Possibly something worse, judging by the set-up and layout of these clubs. He could have simply chained all the doors externally and used 5-gallons of gas to set the place ablaze, watching everyone burn to death - everyone.

Consider that nearly 20 years ago, a mere accident with a gerb, on-stage in full view by the audience - caught on tape - and observed long enough to prevent a catastrophe, after setting flamable foam on fire (incorrectly used as accoustic foam) with doors chained shut to prevent unadmitted entrance, with only the front doors and backstage doors of the club open - led to 100 people dying and 230 people injured in The Station nightclub fire February 20, 2003, in Rhode Island - this guy had plenty of time to emulate that and sit back while roasting a whole bag of marsmallows, before police or firefighters ever got there.

A depraved, sick mind is not going to let the lack of a gun hold him back. He might even cook up something worse.

Completely agree but more germane to our plight as civilian gun owners is that politicians are wholesale and successfully trampling on our civil rights. I believe that large part of why politicians want to disarm the populace because they are afraid someone will overcome their large and well funded security perimeter and will shoot them.

Unlike the public, most politicians have a pretty honed sense of history and know what has happened to unpopular and even popular politicians in the past. I don't believe any politicians actually care about the "safety" of the electorate more than their own self-preservation. All of the politicians that I have worked with first hand are world class Narcissists, it's kind of a requirement to succeed in politics. A Narcissist is incapable of true empathy. The electorate is a tool to be used to reinforce their ego and assert control and dominion over.

They paint civilian firearms ownership as a problem and their heroic legislation and disregarding the Constitution is the solution to the problem. A majority of the electorate obviously buys into this or we wouldn't have the gun laws that we do in this state. It's all about optics and framing their goals and they're obviously very good at it. We, as law abiding gun owners, have had our heads buried in the sand mostly for decades and our activism has not been effective. From a strategic execution standpoint, they are much better at taking our rights than we are at preserving or expanding them.

Newsom's remarks about the guy who disarmed the MP shooter were about as literate as remarks made by Joe Biden.

It's a nice warm day for a stroll along the avenue...the Governor doesn't need a coat.

But behind him, they are wearing sunglasses, coats and insulated vests. You have to hide the weapons under something. (And there are at least 3 more behind the cameraman paving the way...all armed to the teeth.

He must be 'running' again... California Gov. Newsom lashes out at 'trash organization' NRA after Second Amendment 'hypocrisy' accusation...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he looks forward to the day when the National Rifle Association (NRA) "is obsolete" after the gun-rights group called him a hypocrite for his remarks on the Second Amendment while flanked by armed guards.

The NRA criticized Newsom after he told "CBS Evening News" that the Second Amendment was becoming a "suicide pact" while walking in Monterey Park, California, the scene where 11 people were killed and several others were wounded in a mass shooting over the weekend...

In a Wednesday tweet, Newsom responded, saying: "People were just gunned down at a dance club and their workplace -- and THIS is your response," he said, referring to the Monterey Park shooting and another in Half Moon Bay on Monday where seven people were killed at their workplace. "I look forward to the day your trash organization is obsolete."

The NRA responded via Twitter, saying it was pointing out a double standard.

"Respectfully, trash politicians usually squeal when their double standards are called out," the group posted online. "You surround yourself with armed security while denying good Californians their fundamental right to defend themselves and their families."...
