Newsom attacks DeSantis over a gun bill and then the shooting victim’s father wakes him up: “Bear it”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom may be trying to orchestrate a nascent presidential campaign by throwing bombs at his fellow Florida governor over the Sunshine State’s stance on Second Amendment rights.

But this week, the father of the girl who died in the infamous school shooting shared the news for Newsom:

Criminals don’t respect the law very much.

Ryan Petty’s daughter, 14-year-old Alaina Petty, was one of 17 students and staff killed in the 2018 massacre at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

As the father of the shooting victim, and a member of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, which was formed with the authority to investigate mass murders and recommend improvements that could prevent such crimes from happening in the future, I can safely say that Petty has a personal understanding of the matter. the security of a weapon that eludes the well-groomed chief executive of the once Golden State of California.

On trend:

Newsom attacks DeSantis over a gun bill and then the shooting victim’s father wakes him up: “Bear it”

And he doesn’t have time for Newsom’s opportunistic critique of a bill going through Florida’s legislature that would allow state residents to carry concealed weapons without a permit. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a staunch supporter of Second Amendment rights, said he would sign the bill if it hit his desk.

On Monday, California’s governor took the time to post a tweet condemning the bill being considered in the Florida state capital of Tallahassee – more than 2,500 miles from his own government in Sacramento.

“Fact: Unauthorized carry does not make you safer,” Newsom wrote with the condescending arrogance that Americans have come to expect from California liberals. “States that allow concealed carry have higher homicide rates.”

Petty responded with his own Fact. It’s the liberal fetish of “gun free zones” that doesn’t make people safe. In 2018, The Washington Times reported on a study that found that nearly 98 percent of mass shootings take place in “gun-free zones”—a figure that is both startling and almost expected, given that “gun-free zones” are potentially dangerous. the victims are the least able to fight back, and the killers know it.

“Hi Gavin, my daughter Alaina was killed in Parkland and I support gun ban in Florida,” Petty wrote. “If my daughter were alive, she would be pregnant because she would be defenseless in a gun-free zone.”

And he added some advice to the Ken doll from California politics: “Stand with it.”

In an interview published by Fox News on Wednesday, Petty noted that California’s progressive politics and its draconian gun control laws have also failed to prevent mass shootings.

“California has enacted what you could only call a ‘dream’ for gun control advocates, and it doesn’t make Californians safer,” Petty Fox said. “The reason is simple: criminals are not subject to gun laws.” This statement is self-evident, although logic still eludes liberals.

“The only thing that Gavin Newsom and the California legislature have achieved is to limit the rights of law-abiding Californians, and by doing so they have not made anyone safer,” Petty said.

Looks like they don’t exist in California. For all of Newsom’s preening and preaching, his own state isn’t exactly an Eden of harmony without guns and crime.

According to the Associated Press, there were three mass shootings in California in January alone.

But Newsom feels compelled to weigh what is happening on the other side of the continental United States.

It is clear that the governor has presidential ambitions and has said he will run if President Joe Biden does not run for another term.

Do you think Florida should have a gun ban?

A trembling Biden may be making noise about running again, but the weakness of the octogenarian is obvious – physical and mental – and, in the words of the great sage Rocky Balboa, “Time kills everyone. Time is invincible.”

Thus, Newsom is clearly reminding Democrats at the national level that he is on their side when it comes to guns.

And he does this by indirectly attacking Ron DeSantis, a Republican who just won overwhelming support from his voters in the November election and, apart from former President Donald Trump, is the most widely discussed potential GOP candidate in 2024.

(This isn’t Newsom’s first attack on DeSantis and Florida, but other attacks haven’t gotten much better either.)

The Florida bill will not make the state an exception. According to a Washington Times report on Tuesday, citing the National Rifle Association, the bill would make the state the 26th state in the nation to ban concealed carry—for those familiar with white supremacist racist math, that would make it the majority of 50 states. .

Newsom’s transparent claim could play well politically for the left and bring him predictably positive attention from the ever-watchful mainstream media, but it won’t sit well with Americans who cherish the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution.

And when there is a man among these Americans who lost his own daughter in a school shooting, maybe Newsom will want to take his advice and wait it out.
