Republicans Want To Solve Gun Violence By Focusing On Looting, Fentanyl And Hunter Biden!

Our priorities will he focusing on fentanyl and Hunter Biden.

They already signalled they will not pass any laws that involve firearm safety or preventions of potential gun violence. Republicans have an agenda of noise.

The noise's plan is to undermine President Joe Biden and Democrats. 

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) is an ineffective lawmaker. He should be appreciative to the president for giving unlimited disaster relief to the victims of Mayfeld, Kentucky. In December 2021, a destructive EF5 tornado tore through Comer's district and killed over 100 people.

I guess all good deeds must be punished.

Comer and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) are going to launch investigations into Hunter Biden.

Nevermind the Jan. 6 insurrection which a former president led a mob of his supporters to overthrow democracy. Let's worry about Biden's troubled son.

In the wake of a mass shooting in Colorado Springs, Chesapeake and two more in Atlanta and New Orleans, Biden called for Congress to pass a bill that would ban semi-automatic firearms.

What the Republicans and far right do, turn to Chicago. Turn to looting and fentanyl.

While appearing on GOP Sundays with Chuck Todd, Comer pivots.

"I mean, we already have many gun laws on the books. If passing a bill would simply end gun violence, then I think you would have overwhelming support in Congress for that. That’s like saying 'Congress could pass a bill that reduced inflation.' That didn’t reduce inflation.

So you know, passing bills doesn’t solve the problems. We have, as Governor Youngkin said, a mental health crisis in America. And I think there’s overwhelming bipartisan support to fund better mental health programs, and try to increase communication between law enforcement agencies and social services groups to try to better identify these troubled people before they commit crimes."

Todd kept pressing to no avail. 

"How would you suggest we go about preventing mentally unstable folks from purchasing guns if we don’t have a waiting period, or don’t have certain classifications for certain weapons? Is there a way to do this?" said Todd.

Comer responded with a pivot to fentanyl.

"It’s very difficult. You know, the number one priority with respect to crime in America for Republicans is going to be the fentanyl crisis. We talk about terrible gun crimes in America, but we’ve had over 100,000 deaths because of fentanyl pouring across our border, which is unsecured right now. That’s going to be the top priority for Republicans come January ...... you talk about this a lot on Meet the Press, but when you look at cities that have the most strict gun laws, like Washington D.C., Chicago, these are the cities with the highest rates of crimes committed with guns. So you know, just simply passing more bills isn’t going to solve the problem.

I think we need to get serious about law enforcement, we need to invest in more law enforcement, and again, we need to invest in mental health and try to improve communication between our social agencies, as well as our law enforcement."
