 NewsmaxRight-wing cable channel Newsmax hosted a gun lobbyist on Thursday morning to not only rail against gun-safety measures in the wake of the horrific Uvalde school massacre, but to also specifically blame gun control for the mass shooting that left 19 children dead.
With Democrats, gun-safety advocates, and the vast majority of Americans now pushing for reform measures in the wake of this latest school shooting, conservatives have scrambled to come up with alternative solutions—no matter how bonkers—that never seem to include tightening gun laws. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and other Republicans, for instance, have actually floated door control to stop mass shootings.
Appearing Thursday morning on Newsmax's National Report, Gun Owners of America senior vice president Erich Pratt called it "absolutely disgusting" for President Joe Biden and other Democrats to be "pushing for gun control" and "raising money off dead children to advance their cause."
