Trump is an authoritarian fascist. Vance’s post is right out of Goebels propaganda 101.

Enter stage left

8. as a republican Senate hopeful J.D. Vance opposed bipartisan deal on gun control

WASHINGTON, D. C. - A bipartisan group of twenty U.S. Senators, including Ohio Republican Rob Portman, on Sunday announced an agreement on legislation aimed at keeping guns out of the hands people who might use them for violent purposes.

The deal would enhance background checks for buyers under age 21 and provide major funding to help states pass and implement crisis intervention orders known as red flag laws that allow law enforcement to temporarily remove weapons from people who pose a danger to themselves or others.

In an appearance on the Breitbart News Daily podcast, Vance singled out for criticism provisions described in the bill that would help states set up “red flag” laws that give courts the ability to seize guns from people deemed to be an imminent threat to public safety.

It would increase penalties for gun trafficking and straw purchasing, and expand the current prohibition on domestic abusers getting guns to include romantic partners. It would also expand community mental health services for children and families and provide money for school violence prevention efforts, training and the implementation of safety measures at primary and secondary schools.

11. nearly 70% of Americans favor some sort of gun control.

...so two fools on display in front of voters wondering why they're not doing anything, even fighting back against doing anything about the access to guns.

And gun control's the ONLY thing our candidate needs to take responsibility for, as president, in relation to this shooting.

9. Wow. So JD knows more about the shooter than anyone else does?

Is JD still ok with public executions proposed by Trump for people like Liz Cheney? How about fights between immigrants for entertainment? What an empty headed fool.

They have always been paranoid that the Left's violence is organized.

Thing is, The Orange Martyr is an Authoritarian.
