Democrats and activists jump the gun on gun control again after Los Angeles County shooting

Gun control groups can never be bothered to wait for details when a high-profile shooting happens. In responding to the Monterey Park shooting in California , it appears they have once again jumped the gun.

A 72-year-old man is suspected of killing 10 and wounding 10 more at a Lunar New Year celebration. While authorities are still trying to nail down a motivation for the crime, gun control groups jumped feet-first into their typical gun control talking points. Giffords declared, “The Monterey Park community deserved better.” David Hogg declared that this wouldn’t have happened “if we had leaders who did their job.” Newtown Action Alliance complained that Congress won’t pass an "assault weapons" ban.

Politicians joined them. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said that “we’ll never quit demanding real action on gun safety.” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said that it was a “reminder that Congress must act boldly and now.” California Gov. Gavin Newsom called for “real gun reform at a national level.”
