Gavin Newsom
Blames NRA for Baton Rouge Police Shootings
by AWR Hawkins 18 Jul 2016
California Lieutenant Governor
Gavin Newsom responded Sunday to the
shooting deaths of three Baton Rouge police officers by blaming “the firearms
industry, its spokespeople at the National Rifle Association, and their paid
subsidiaries.”
There is no evidence that the suspect who ambushed the
officers early Sunday morning was somehow affected by the NRA.
According to ABC 10, Newsom said began his statement by
admitting all the facts were not yet known. Yet, he said, “there is one
conclusion to which we must leap: enough is enough.”
He continued:
An armed society is a dangerous society and we cannot
accept the profit-driven fallacies promulgated by the firearms industry, its
spokespeople at the National Rifle Association, and their paid subsidiaries.
The endemic of gun violence terrorizing our society – inflicted upon police
officers, nightclub goers, places of work, churches, movie theaters, schools,
and disproportionately upon and within America’s minority communities – is by
definition a political issue and elected leaders must not back down from
calling for tougher regulation of firearms and ammunition in fear of political
retribution from these defendants of death.
Newsom called for “Congress to act immediately,” but did
not explain what law could prevent evil men from behaving in evil ways, or
stop the criminally-minded from acting out their criminality.
In Louisiana, broken-hearted East Baton Rouge
Sheriff Gautreaux sees things completely differently: he believes the
issue is about hearts, not guns. During a July 17 press conference, the
UK Guardian quoted
Gautreaux saying:
With God’s help, we will get through this.
To me this is not so much about gun control as it is about what’s in men’s hearts. And until
we come together as a nation, as a people, to heal as a people. If we don’t do
that and this madness continues, we will surely perish as a people
