Of the 62 rookie dem congressmen 80 % ran on some sort of gun control platform.
In California the biggest issues for voters are: gun violence in schools and college affordability.
Colorado and New Mexico both pushing new gun control measures. As is the city of Pittsburg.
Because the voters want it.
Yes HOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What you are telling us is that LIE-beral policy is in TOTAL DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And LIE-berals are focusing on gun control as a way to AVOID having to talk about crime control and about illegal immigrants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is an article illustrating why the Trump idea of a serious border barrier makes sense to a lot of people! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Man deported from U.S. 6 times accused of beating homeless men to death

LOS ANGELES — A man who was deported from the United States six times was expected in court Wednesday to face charges after police say he killed three people and injured four in attacks targeting sleeping homeless men in California.
Investigators believe Ramon Escobar, 47, began attacking the men at random on Sept. 8, shortly after he arrived in California from Houston, where he’s considered a person of interest in the disappearance of his uncle and aunt.
(Oh nice- not just a killer of homeless guys- he MAY be also a killer of family?)
Escobar, who was believed homeless himself, likely targeted victims to rob them, Los Angeles police Capt. William Hayes told reporters Tuesday.
Detectives have seized a wooden baseball bat and bolt cutters that they believe were used to bludgeon men as they lay sleeping on the beach or on the street in Los Angeles and suburban Santa Monica, police said. All but one of the men was homeless.
Escobar was arrested Monday and was expected to be charged with murder and attempted murder as early as Wednesday, followed by his arraignment.
It wasn’t immediately known whether Escobar had an attorney who could speak for him.
Escobar was being held without bail but U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials have filed a detainer seeking to take him into custody if he is released, the agency said.
(Lets hope that Los Angeles city hall does not forget this guy is a potential killer and pull the usual Sanctuary City Crap and release the guy BEFORE alerting the immigration dept -as has happened with killers before!)
Escobar was first ordered removed from the country in 1988 and was deported to his native El Salvador six times between 1997 and 2011, ICE said in a statement Tuesday night.
He was released from ICE custody last year after successfully appealing his latest immigration case, ICE said. The agency didn’t indicate his current legal status.
However, Escobar has six felony convictions for burglary and illegal reentry, ICE said.
(And HOW can a Homeless guy with felony burglary convictions successfully appeal a deportation order except in LIE-beral land?)
Escobar spent five years in prison for robbery starting in the mid-1990s, Hayes said. Records in Texas show Escobar has had arrests for vehicle burglary, trespassing, failure to stop, public intoxication and two assaults, most recently in November 2017. That case was described as a misdemeanour.
(In the minds of the long suffering public- any ONE of these offenses should have been sufficient excuse to deport him!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Texas authorities also want to talk to Escobar about the disappearances late last month of 60-year-old Dina Escobar and her brother, 65-year-old Rogelio Escobar, Houston police said in a statement.
Dina Escobar’s burned van was found in Galveston, Texas, a few days after she went looking for her brother. She was last seen Aug. 28, two days after her brother vanished, the statement said.
Dina Escobar’s daughter, Ligia Salamanca, told KTRK-TV in Houston earlier Tuesday that her cousin, Ramon Escobar, had never come across as violent and wasn’t a source of trouble for the family.
(Oh yes- the standard family claim and excuse!)
“She loved him as she would a son,” Salamanca said of her mother’s devotion to Ramon Escobar.
Salamanca said he had been looking for work and needed a place to stay, so he was taken in by his uncle, who went missing days later.
(Either the “motherly love” was based on DELUSION or based on FEAR of Ramon Escobar and his retaliation if he did not get motherly aid?)
Investigators believe Escobar was the man who used a baseball bat to bash the heads of three homeless men sleeping on downtown Los Angeles streets before dawn on Sept. 16, police said in a statement. Two died.
(AS I have pointed out before- people who lack the ability to make an honest living will turn to dishonest solutions!)
Escobar is believed to be the man captured on surveillance video ransacking the pockets and belongings of some downtown Los Angeles victims.
Two homeless men sleeping on the beach were bludgeoned in the head early on Sept. 8 and Sept. 10, leaving one in critical condition, officials said.
Another man who apparently was sleeping on the beach was found dead under the Santa Monica Pier on Sept. 20. Steven Ray Cruze Jr., 39, of San Gabriel, had been beaten to death.
Authorities at first described him as homeless, but family and friends said the father of two, who loved to fish at the pier, worked boats in neighbouring Marina del Rey and sometimes camped out under the pier to avoid the long commute home.
(Considering the number of illegals committing crimes of one sort or another it is quite hard for an ordinary citizen to argue against the Trump Wall! Only LIE-berals nicely isolated form the consequences of their actions dispute the wall! )
(In one celebrated case from 20 odd years ago- an illegal deported from Canada back to United States made it back through Niagara Falls Customs and got back to Toronto BEFORE the agents who had escorted him to the border!!!!!)
(In another case old case, a U.S. Marine was discovered supplementing his income with payments from a Windsor area welfare office!!!!!!!!!!)
(Good fences make for good neighbours- and prevent crimes and ripoffs!!!!!!!!!! To bad our LIE-beral overlords are too busy buying the votes of illegals to be bothered with border controls!!!!!!)
