The left is already pushing for more gun control even before the release of information on the shooter or possibly shooters at the Super Bowl Parade.

It was a lot easier to get guns 50 years ago, and there were virtually zero mass shootings. What has changed are the consequences or lack of consequences for committing crimes. Instead of adding more gun laws, let’s start by enforcing what’s on the books now.
