The National Crisis That Happened Last Week But The Repugs Ignored It.

Why aren't Coulter and Limbowel telling tRump to do something about the cause of this crime wave? Because this crime wave’s cause, the NRA, supports the Repugs.

-Friday, January 25: ST. LOUIS, Mo.--A male St. Louis police officer charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a female officer during what was described as a deadly game with a revolver.

-Thursday, January 25: STATE COLLEGE, Pa.-- A gunman started shooting a hotel bar near Penn State's main campus, wounded a woman and killed two men. He then broke into a stranger's house and fatally shot the 83-year-old homeowner, and finallykilled himself.

-Thursday, January 25: ROCKMART, Ga.--a 27-year-old gunman killed four people and wounded a man in a pair of shootings.

-Wednesday, January 24: SEBRING, Fla.--A man shot and killed five women at a bank in Florida. He reportedly had dreamed of hurting classmates in high school and had long been fascinated with killing.

If one of these RW racist loudmouths from talk radio or Faux becomes a victim to gun violence, they MIGHT speak out against it. Even then, I am guessing they will react by demanding that we arm the populace everywhere.

Well, I also see your point that if someone they love (mistress, favorite horse, dog, etc.) is harmed by a NRA bullet....
Actually, I didn't hear any (R)epugs complain about the NRA when Sleaze Scalise was shot.

No, they'll only start to get on the NRA case when their payments aren't recorded in their well-hidden accounts. (Dollars only, please. No roubles.)

The majority of the killings in your list were done by white males. I looked for ms13 killings and in the last two weeks and the only news has been members sentenced to jail or deported no current incidents and the links are mostly from the fox website.
