Liberals Are Squawking About AR-15s Even Though It Has Nothing To Do With Today’s Tragedy

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott held a press conference and confirmed that the Santa Fe High School gunman used two weapons– a shotgun and .38 revolver.

Gov. Abbott just announced law enforcement recovered two guns from the Sante Fe shooter. One was a shotgun. The other was a .38 caliber revolver.

Abbott said they were legally purchased by the shooter's father and there is no word yet on whether or not the father knew he had his guns.

Gov Abbott: 2 others being interviewed other than shooter.

Shotgun and .38 revolver were weapons used; appear to have been taken from father.

Those are the two firearms gun control zealots promise they will never try to ban: a shotgun, the favorite home defense weapon of Joe Biden, and a pistol that is not "semi-automatic." https://t.co/EbRRNY18HU

Yet for some reason, AR-15 is trending on Twitter right now. Why? Because a bunch of dumb liberals are trying to use this tragedy to advance their gun-grabbing agenda.

The only problem? An AR-15 wasn’t used. Yet here they are, screaming about it anyway.

Aurora – 12 dead
Newton – 27 dead
San Bernardino – 14 dead
Las Vegas – 58 dead
Sutherland – 26 dead
Parkland – 17 dead
Pulse Night Club- 49 dead
Waffle House – 4 dead
Santa Fe High School – 10 dead

The AR-15 was used in every one of these massacres. Ban this assault weapon now.

So the shooter is a white kid with an AR-15? Who could’ve guessed?

Last decade: One failed shoe bomb attempt and Americans STILL go barefoot through airport security.

This decade: AR-15 style weapons frequently massacre Americans but we don’t do a damn thing about it.

You get the idea.

Santa Fe: Shotgun and .38, NOT an AR-15 as you stated. Facts matter.

Another Fact: Handguns are used in the vast majority of murders in the US https://t.co/R0txQiqn0U

FYI, 17 year olds can't purchase guns.

Don't know how gun control could've prevented this. #GunControl

More laws won’t fix this problem and progressives know that. Their endgame is the repeal of the second amendment along with bans and confiscation. Don’t let them tell you otherwise. #GunControl

What happened in #SantaFe today was tragic.

What @MichaelSkolnik is doing, exploiting the deaths of children by spreading MISINFORMATION to forward his agenda is absolutely horrific.
No news source mentions an #AR15.

If this doesn’t prove that they’re agenda-driven, I don’t know what does.

But by all means. Continue spreading lies and blaming the NRA.
