Immediately following reports of a terror attack at Ohio State University last Monday, Democrats leapt at the opportunity to use American blood to advance their radical agenda.
The Horn News reported, Islamic terrorist Abdul Artan, a Somali refugee, ruthlessly drove his vehicle into a crowd of students at Ohio State University before attacking them with a butcher knife, injuring 11 people.
And while the rest of the country was praying for the safety of everyone involved, liberals jumped at the chance to use the tragedy to score cheap political points.
Democratic leaders didn’t bother gathering the facts — gun control advocates couldn’t wait for confirmed reports to express their glee, further proof they thrive when Islamic terror succeeds in shedding blood on American soil.
Before it was known the attacker had only a knife, liberal leaders jumped on their computers to begin spreading the word that this attack was PROOF that legal Americans should be stripped of the right to bear arms.
They saw an opportunity to shove a tragedy in the face of gun rights supporters and couldn’t wait to start placing blame.
Hillary Clinton running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine, quickly tweeted:
Deeply saddened by the senseless act of gun violence at Ohio State this morning. Praying for the injured and the entire Buckeye community
— Tim Kaine (@timkaine) November 28, 2016
It’s disgusting how quickly he rushed to use this terror attack to his political advantage.
Rep. Donna F. Edwards of Maryland tweeted, “Enough is enough. Another #MassShooting, this time at Ohio State. This can’t become OUR normal. We must work to #EndGunViolence! #Gunsense?”
Gun control activist Shannon Watts tweeted:
For school shooting victims it's not too soon to discuss our nation's lax gun laws – it's too late

What was too soon was a tweet using the terrifying situation at hand to push a political agenda.
Actor Reggie Watkins tweeted:
GET RID OF GUNS!!!!!! #OhioState
— Reggie Watkins (@ReggieWatkinsJr) November 28, 2016
If he had been more patient, he would realize that if it wasn’t for guns, Artan could’ve done a lot more damage that day.
Actress Catherine Curtin also jumped on the gun control bandwagon, tweeting:
When we will have gun control! My heart goes out to Columbus, Ohio!!!
— Catherine Curtin (@catecurtin) November 28, 2016
Ohio State is in fact already a gun free zone, shedding light on the effectiveness of these safe spaces in deterring attacks.
Meanwhile, Ohio Governor John Kasich tweeted genuine and useful information to the students at his state’s largest university.
Ohio's thoughts and prayers go out to the Ohio State community. Be safe, listen to first responders. https://t.co/5qtfH3Fb6d

In a time of fear and panic, victims need prayers and sound advice. Reports that this tragedy is the fault of our second amendment rights will only create greater anguish, especially when it is the farthest thing from the truth.
–The Horn editorial team
It’s quite obvious we need knife control and liberal control
Yep, control our forks, sticks and stones, bricks and all other hard objects, automobiles and on and on. What a bunch of morons.
Will we need a permit to play baseball with all those clubs we call bats.The libs.are completely bats.They should have a license to spew their nonsense.Preamble to the Constitution gives the right to life,liberty and pursuit of happiness.The right to life is a right to protect oneself.The only people that will be protected will be the thugs that want to steal,kill and destroy.That is if the Libs get their way.
Greg-
A small correction.
The Constitution “gives” nothing. Never has, never will. The F&F were quite certain that our Rights – natural and God-given – long preceded and will long outlast every government ever formed by Man.
In fact, the Constitution is a document of NEGATIVE authority, which defines – and more importantly, LIMITS – what powers may lawfully be exercised by sworn agents of the general government.
THE MORONS LIKE TO CONTROL YOU SO THEY CAN DO THERE BUSINESS THE EASY WAY.
How about just free birth control. For liberals.
JnAZ…and make it mandatory!
janet: And MAKE IT PERMANENT! Remove the parts that allow procreation.
It would take to long -gulags in Alaska and killary cooking soups – twice a day.
I think liberal control would solve a lot of the problem. They run their mouth before they know the facts. You take the arms away from all legal Americans then only criminals will have guns. They would like that (criminals) they could then have their way with everyone and they would have no worry of they fighting back.
Don’t forget rocks and hammers got to watch those and fist’s and feet maybe teeth. Can’t be to careful
Gun Control…. . ..
It’s NOT about guns.
It’s about CONTROL.
TAKING THE GUNS AWAY FROM CITIZENS WILL INCREASE THE VIOLENT ATTACKS AGAINST UNARMED CITIZENS.DON,T BE SO NAIVE.THIS IS A PLANED STROKE TO MAKE AMERICA UNARMED FOR TERROR.
This is an attempt to take all guns from the people because the Libs know that eventually because of their crazed agendas that the people will turn their guns onto them which, maybe sooner than they think!
Little Timmy Kaine……
Aren’t we GLAD we’re not going to have THAT BUTTHEAD as VP??????
THANK GOD!!
Yes, I pray that by the time the Trump Team ends their first four years in office that the people will be so much safer, happier, wealthier and healthier due to the needed changes being implemented that they won’t want to go back to what we have now or worse. All will see that we are so much better off than in many years. When some liberal runs for office in 2020, they will be soundly defeated. My words to God’s ear! Keep praying, people! Great and good change is coming for the betterment of ALL!
YOU ARE SO RIGHT ITS TIME FOR AMERICA TO BRING GOD BACK IN WHITE HOUSE AND SCHOOLS AND EVERY WEAR GOD BLESS AMERICA KEEP PRAYING FOR ALL .IN AMERICA AND ALL OVER THE WORLD .
I HOPE TRUMP WILL STAY TO HIS WORDS FROM THE CAMPAIGN AND MAKE AMERICA WELL AGAIN AFTER 8 YEARS OF THE THIRD WORLD LEADERSHIP. I HOPE HE WILL NOT GIVE AWAY HIS HARD EARNED BUSINESS AND STILL WILL BE A GREAT PRESIDENT FOR AMERICA.IN 8 YEARS WE WILL SEE AGAIN THE AMERICA THE REAL AMERICANS REMEMBER FROM THE PAST.TRUMP HAS TO ENFORCE THE AMERICAN VALUE TO THIS COUNTRY AND THE CONSTITUTION AT ALL COSTS.NO FLAG BURNING,PRAYER IN SCHOOLS WHERE ASKED FOR,STANDING WITH OUR POLICE FORCE,BE FIRM ON IMMIGRATION REGULATION AND TRAIN THE SWAMP AND START BACK TO BE A REAL CHRISTIAN NATION.
Rottenrollin.you said it all about kaine!
AMEN!
See the liberals have NO clue what they are talking about. A bunch of idiots that can control their own party. Grow up you jerks and make America Great Again. You have cost this country jobs, veterans lives, homeless kids and more debt. Just for an example, they so called running mate Tim (Idiot) Kaine said, ” we need gun control” when there was no gun used other than by proper authorities to stop a SN to hurt true Americans.
Considering that there almost immediately would be a Black Market on guns brought in from Mexico, what good would even more gun laws do? Gun laws aren’t enforced now, i.e., there were at least 2000 felons last year who attempted to illegally purchase a gun. Only 12 were prosecuted?
The 2 most restrictive gun laws in the US are in D.C. and Chicago. Just look at the gun deaths in both of these “gun free zones”. Same old B.S. from the libs. They want more laws that would NOT be enforced. I for one would be glad to give up my guns WHEN the government could PROVE to me that all outlaws had been disarmed. If you want a real good picture of gun control just look at the Jews in Germany in 1935. With no guns to defend themselves they were rounded up and killed by the Nazi’s. This appears to be the method of just about ALL “control” freaks First disarm the people. Then do anything you want.. I carry a gun for the same reason a cop does. Self-defense.and i WILL continue to do so
ernest-
i carry arms because a cop’s too heavy.
i am armed because when seconds count, cops are minutes away – usually, 20 min. or more.
The “Liberal Left” is nothing more than a “gaggle of cowards”.
The liberal left is what we used to call the Communist Party.
It’s way past time to quit poo-pooing the danger of that organization, and start doing something about it.
How many more Democrats in Congress are members of the CPUSA (other than the 76 who are open about it)?
These people intend to bring down the U.S. Government (and the country with it), and that USED to be illegal. Where are the authorities with the power to do something about this?
You are so right Jeanette. I always thought that it was illegal to be against America. When did it become alright to let people in power do the things that Obama and others have done to this country. When did it become legal for our government to allow people to come into our country illegally and give them our money. Since when did it become legal for the president to bring over as many terrorist as he wants to bring and put Anerican lives in danger and some have even been killed because of this guy. Is it because his skin color I mean have we allowed our government and others to make us white Americans feel so guilty about something that happened more thena 150 years ago that we had nothing to do with that we feel like we own them everything. I’m all for equal treatment but I am not for preferential treatment for anyone. Most of these people out here protesting cannot name one slave from back in the day unless it is one they have heard on the movies. The left has been trying to cause a race war for a long time with all their BS movies. They don’t tell the real truth about how it was their own people that sold them to the highest bidder and how blacks were not the only people to ever be slaves in this world. It was not right but it happened get over it and get a job and support your family. The blacks has allowed the democrats to enslave them once again for a few food stamps and a little bit of money. It’s a shame. You cannot live the American Dream on welfare or SSI so quit selling yourself short and help Trump to bring back jobs and help him revamp the education system so your kids can have something. How do you do that quit voting for the democrats that has not done anything for you in 70 years start voting for people that will help the private sector create jobs so we can all have something.
Libotards are all about collective think. I swear they get a play book to use giving all their looney leftist talking points. E.g. If this happpens, say this. Approximately 30% of Americans are programmed progressive robots. Sadly they breed and vote.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Michael Savage
Right on! But its also a known disease-Idi-V.D. Amin disease!! One that is in at-epidemic level in the the commie coast states and Hollywood
“senseless act of gun violence” – the “senseless” act of gun violence was an armed law officer shooting a violent criminal attacking people with a knife. How utterly like Tim Kaine. How like the Liberals. Over and over we see them condemning police for shooting violent criminals, even inciting destructive riots over those events. There are those who have condemned the shooting of Abdul Artan – an individual without whom the world is a slightly better place.
“Slightly” (?)
IF LEFT A LOADED SHOTGUN ON MY FRONT PORCH FOR 6 WEEKS. 6 DAMN WEEKS. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS BUT IT NEVER SHOT THE FIRST DAMN PERSON. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT??? NOT ONE. UNBELIEVABLE!!! HOW COULD THAT BE???
Right on George. I have 2 shotguns and 4 rifles of various calibers on my gun rack some of them have been there 6 months and like yours haven’t killed anyone. They’re a lot like some of the slackers living off our country just standing, never moving.
What a bunch of pathetic socialist morons…..they couldn’t wait to find out the details of what happened…even Kaine (ran for vp???, oh my God) tweeted it was another case of GUN violence. Thank heaven we didn’t get him…….
Guessing they wanted to get rid of the campus police fire arms so the moron could continue his killing spree. If you havent figured it out the democrats import the terrorist and want to strip the nation of any way of protecting its self. Skip the gun control and do some democrat control. Wait we did, its all republican now for the most part.
The Democratic Party is becoming both unhinged and irrelevant. Electing the senile Nancy Pelosi as Minority Leader is proof of that.
Maybe the libnuts are trying for population control also. Left to his methods he could have killed some people decreasing the population….how stupid do you have to be to be unaceptable.
Has nobody recognized “blowback” in this citizen student’s “going ballistic” that morning. Seeing he had only a knife (3 or more inches) what happened to tasers–tranquilizer darts–or nets? Don’t we catch wild animals for the ZOOS? Obviously this guy has mental problems–but should we simply exterminate all those with mental problems and uncertainty in America?–WE WOULD THEN HAVE HALF THE POPULATION! No, our modern cops are not like those “in the movies.” And they all have automatics and no longer the S&WPolice specials. All you people applauding the OS killing of the mental case–check your tail lights and don’t get stopped by the cops. This is a warning.
Good point, Rangval. I believe deadly force should be an option, but not the only option.
Put one of your loved ones in this mix about to get stabbed. Wow! thank God someone stopped him short of killing your loved one. Think on that for awhile.
That is truly stupid comment. In situation like this there is no time to really think, time is precious to save lives and one must act to achieve it. If that idiotic “gun free zone” was not there there is a chance that fewer people would be injured. As for mental problems it is always excuse nowadays to try and cover up the truth. However, most somalies have “mental problems” through simple fact that their average national IQ is 68 (anything below 70 is considered retard) and you can bet your bottom dollar that “refugees” are not the cream of the top. Add to this 7th century cult mentality of islam and you have recipe for disaster sooner or later.
As for police guns, they have what is required for stopping power rather than pea-shooters.
Did the officer have a taser or other option available to him at that precise moment?
“Only had a knife”. A knife is deadly force regardless of it’s size. Police must respond with one level higher on the force level continuum. This is because they must be able to overcome the offenders force, not match it. Remember, a tie is a loss for the police. It’s too easy for something to go wrong if a less lethal option is used, such as the person is not affected by the taser(there are such people out there) one of the taser dart misses, etc. Then the offender closes distance and kills the officer or another innocent bystander etc.
No, deadly force must be met with deadly force. The goal is to stop the motion of the attack of course.
There are thousands of ways to kill people. Guns are just one of them. As this article shows there can be violence without guns. Isn’t it time we started trying to figure out why there is violence and address that issue? With or without gun control people will hurt other people. With or without Abortion controls people will terminate pregnacies. When are we going to solve solvable problems???
There is nothing like soulless politicians who try to use a tragedy to push their agenda. In most of these tragedies it is good to get the facts before pushing remedies.
In this case the tragedy’s scope was greatly reduced by someone who had a gun and used it. This incident points out the folly that strong gun control laws will halt murders. As we saw on Sept. 11, 2001, the terrorists were able to use $1 box cutters to set in motion a plan that would result in the death of everyone on the plane, the death of several thousand people in several office buildings, and a war that has cost more than 400,000 lives and left others injured for life. Guns aren’t the problem; the actions of evil people are the problem.
Forget about the Liberals and the gun issue.
What happened at Ohio State just goes to prove what Trump said all along was correct. No one from countries should be allowed to immigrate to this country at this moment. Trump never once singled out Muslims like all the Liberals say, he said everyone.
We are at war with terrorism. During World War II we did not let Japanese, Italians or Germans immigrate to America because we were at war with those countries.
How about radical Somali control, stop letting in all these radicals
George, I have two shotguns. And neither one of them has ever shot anybody or any thing. That really surprises me because all the liberals say that guns are the problem. And my guns have not caused any problem. I wonder why. I guess they may be defective. Oh, one of them shot A paper target one time. I feel sorry for his family.
I have guns. You do not want me to have them. I WILL NOT give them up.
Your move
The problem with our country is that we have to many stupid and ignorant humans living in it. As you can tell they elected barack obuttman as president and then they wanted to elect Hillary crocked Clinton also.. Its to bad it just goes to show that God makes a mistake when he created the stupid and ignorant humans. Its make the smarter ones look even better… To bad we can’t eliminate them off the face of this planet as it would make for a better America for the rest of us to live in. And they keep trying to get president elect out and put that bimbo Hillary in, what a shame..
Once again the Liberal Agenda is blatantly obvious. ..They want their globalistic totalitarian yoke around they’re necks! Such stupid, moronic idiots. ….
My idea of gun control is a tight grouping of shots. Preferably with a group of Jihadists in the middle.
Gun Control.. The ability to hit your target
Round up all these traitors to our Constitution and deposit them in the Islamic state of their choice, liberalism is a disease that has been allowed to run rampant in our nation for far too long, round up these nut case liberals and deport them and see how well they do in the Islamic country of their choice. This kid glove treatment of liberals has gone on for far too long, don’t debate with them, don’t argue with them, ignore them when possible and do your best to stay as far from them as possible, these folks are a few cards shy of a deck and should be considered extremely dangerous.
RJ-
should be considered extremely dangerous
At least they’re unarmed…
All you Liberals, Guns do not kill people. People kill people. I am 73 years of age and I will not give up my right to bear arms. When I resided in Chicago one of the Suburbs “Morton Grove, Illinois” took possession of all fire arms and purchased most of them from the residents. The Burglary increased 500% in the first year. Remember Gun control will not stop the criminals from buying street guns to commit there crimes all types of guns, but it will keep the law abiding citizens from protecting themselves. I was robbed at gunpoint and not having a weapon to defend myself at the time makes one feel inadequate. Not a good feeling at all.
Looks like the socialists are ready to bring guns into what was a knife fight. But then this was a gun free zone. So the perpetrator resorted to other means to carry out his murderous attack. He used vehicular assault and a knife. Perhaps we need more vehicle controls. We could require vehicles to be registered. And we could require all potential vehicle operators to be tested and licensed. Oh wait, We already do that! But it does not seem to prevent irresponsible driving. Perhaps it is the vehicle’s fault and we should have them all banned. And what about that knife? What business did it have attacking people? Perhaps the government should require all knives to be registered and require a permit to purchase one. What will be next?
If guns were outlawed this guy might still be stabbing people
Gun control , = ammo conservation . Make each round count .
The most dangerous thing in our country is liberals with a gun control agenda! Liberalism is an mental disorder that needs aggressive treatment and eradication like the debilitating cancer it is! I say the country needs a ban on all liberals!
Try to keep your guns !! In Australia we had that idiot Howard running our Country, 35 people dead at Port Arthur — all bad news for all involved Bryant was a nutter,and to stop this happening again !!! we banned self loading .22 — shot guns that shot more than 2 rounds ie a double barrel was all you got to have all autos had to go and now it is all bolt action guns . sure you do need some laws – Joe blow in downtown NY — with a high power 15 shot .223 self loader !! for what — self defence !! what I mean is city guys and girls perhaps need a bit less fire power ! after all one shot one kill !! should be the order of the day,
It is about control. If it isn’t about money, it’s about power over someone else. Those that live and feel a privileged existence, push agendas that usually oppress others, others who have toiled honestly and strongly for their own rights and existence. If citizens aren’t allowed to carry firearms, especially licensed and concealed in society, then how will the assailants be stopped in the crucial moment they act to maim and destroy lives. We revere our police, but they can’t be everywhere all the time and response averages are around 8-11 minutes in most all places throughout our country. In gun free zones, where liberals have established no weapons, then the only weapons brought to a scene will be those meant to do harm, no one to act against them either. In my opinion, anyone who endorses a gun free zone or disarming a countries citizens, is fully to blame directly for the injuring and death of others at the hands of terrorists or any general criminal assailant. Guard yourselves people, in any way lobbying or physically possible that you can. “No country ever is or ever was conquered from without before it was conquered from within.” May ye all remain free from oppression always, and united as righteous families to live and prosper, one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all.
