we are now experiencing.
You'd think they would. Anytime anything bad happens, blame it on Biden. That's Republican-craft 101. Inflation? Blame it on Biden. Gas prices go up? Blame it on Biden. And, of course, illegal immigration increases? Blame it on Biden. But they haven't criticized him one bit over this.
Because what are they gonna say, "Why hasn't Biden passed tougher gun laws?"
The Republicans can't pile on Biden over this because they know that they themselves are the ones to blame for the carnage. They are the ones sucking up to both the NRA and to their gun-loving base, just to get reelected. It's too craven and depraved for words.

Not out of concern for children and other regular people getting slaughtered, mind you, but out of concern that it has gotten so bad that even Republican voters will not vote for them if they do not support an assault weapons ban.
