A Left-Wing Assassin Tries To Murder Justice Kavanaugh | Ep. 1511

Legislation

The recent legislative efforts on gun control have sparked intense debate, highlighting the partisan divide in Congress. Ben Shapiro discusses how the House passed a comprehensive gun control package, which is unlikely to succeed in the Senate due to its partisan nature 1. He criticizes the Democrats for including measures like raising the age for purchasing semi-automatic rifles to 21, arguing it lacks consistency unless other adult responsibilities are also adjusted 1. Shapiro points out the Democrats' strategy of bundling multiple provisions to manipulate political narratives, stating, "They may think that they have the wind with them. They do not." 1

   

Economic Impact

The economic implications of gun control measures are significant, affecting both manufacturing and sales in the industry. Shapiro highlights the surge in gun sales in 2020, noting a 64% increase from the previous year, which coincided with rising gun-related deaths 2. He argues that the increase in gun purchases was driven by public fear and distrust in law enforcement, rather than corporate greed 2. Shapiro criticizes the narrative that links gun manufacturers' profits to gun violence, stating, "It's not about actually having a valuable discussion on these issues. It's about blood money." 2
