As Democrats continue to push for more gun control in the wake of Monday evening's shooting in Manhattan, let's make one thing perfectly clear: the weapon the shooter used was already illegal in NYC.

The alleged gunman, Shane Tamura, broke the law because gun control laws don't work. Well, let this writer rephrase that: they work as the Left intends them to -- to strip law-abiding citizens of their Second-Amendment rights. They do not work to stop criminals, and the Left's insistence that they want to 'save just one life' is a lie.

They want to disarm us. Democratic Reps. Dan Goldman and Richie Torres have made that very clear.

New York passed the SAFE Act precisely to ban the type of gun Tamura used.

A fact Dana Loesch is happy to point out:

They fail to stop crime because that's not their intended purpose.

So? It's illegal to possess that gun in NYC. Tamura broke the law.

Or, more accurately, NYC's gun control laws failed to stop gun crime.

LOL. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

That's 'equity' under the law.

That's exactly what'll happen.

Some judge would overturn it within hours.

Which is what Democrats really want.

It did not.

Criminals don't obey laws. It was also illegal to shoot people and Tamura didn't seem to care about that, either.

Never.
