Several ladies on ABC’s “The View” called for tougher gun laws in the wake of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
The incident occurred during a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend, where a would-be assassin narrowly missed Trump but injured others.
“I’m very happy Donald Trump is safe, full stop, period.” said co-host Ana Navarro.
The assailant injured Trump and killed former Fire Chief and father of two, Corey Comperatore. Two more attendees were wounded but are in stable condition.
However, it didn’t take long for Navarro, who is no fan of Trump, to pivot to gun control.
“I hope that at some point in this country, we do have a conversation about what’s happening because we can’t just react when it’s our side. This was a 20-year-old lone-wolf white whack job with easy access to a gun,” she said.
“We need to have a conversation about that because it wasn’t a drag queen, immigrant, or pissed-off liberal woman,” Navarro continued. “This keeps happening, and we need to react not as left or right, not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans and ask better questions.”
The shooter, a 20-year-old kitchen worker from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, bought 50 rounds of ammunition just before the rally, reported CNN. Some on the panel believed that this (very modest) purchase should have raised red flags. This, despite the fact that the suspect had no criminal record.
“Shouldn’t that have been reported? We’ve seen young white men with guns many times, and nobody reported that he bought 50 rounds of ammunition,” said co-host Joy Behar.

Then, co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in.
“Everyone says it’s too soon to talk about guns, but now is the time to talk about America’s fascination and obsession with owning guns,” she said.
“The common denominator in this assassination attempt is guns. The Supreme Court just found that it’s fine to have bump stocks. We need real gun control legislation,” she added.
Of course, Hostin didn’t specify what she meant by “real gun control legislation.” But it wouldn’t be shocking if it included a sweeping confiscation ploy.
Look, while the ladies on “The View” are entitled to their opinions, their knee-jerk call for stricter gun control after the Pennsylvania rally shooting is out of touch with reality and the Constitution.
Monitoring every young white male’s ammo purchases in real-time is not only ludicrous but also a huge invasion of privacy.
Plus, even if one supported Joy Behar’s Orwellian tracking scheme, authorities don’t have the resources to knock on a door every time some white dude buys a measly 50 rounds of ammo.
Collectively, their comments show a clear lack of understanding of guns, the firearm industry, and the way the world works.
No amount of gun control will stop a determined and resourceful killer. It wasn’t our laws that failed President Trump on Saturday, it was his security detail.
