DeSantis Ignores Domestic Gun Violence as He Targets Immigrants

Just in 2023, America has endured mass shootings perpetrated by domestic offenders such as the:

•  Lewiston shootings where 18 were killed, and 13 injured.
• Trabuco Canyon shooting at the Cook’s Corner bar, where three were killed, and five wounded.
• Baltimore shooting where 2 were killed and 28 were injured in South Baltimore.
• Monterey Park shooting where 11 were killed and 9 injured after a gunman opened fire at a dance studio in Monterey Park after a Chinese New Year.
• Dadeville shooting where gunmen opened fire at a birthday party, killing 4 and injuring 32 others.

But Republicans like Ron DeSantis won’t acknowledge domestic terrorism and the source of terror…guns of war flowing freely on the streets of America. Nor do they acknowledge the accidental shootings or crimes of passion arising from guns being prolific in the homes of Americans.

Needless to say, DeSantis and other far-right Republicans do not include January 6th insurrectionists among feared terrorists, nor do they place domestic terrorists arising from neo-Nazi organizations among those who threaten our tranquility.

So, it appears it is not the violence that he fears, but the brown people who might immigrate here.  We must focus on our gun laws here in America that allow folks next door to wreak terror in the streets. Let’s stop the almost daily incidents of gun violence in America by AMERICANS.  Let’s call it American-on-American crime. Why don’t we try to stop that!
