Don Jr. Says Guns Not To Blame For Uvalde Because Shooter Could've Killed 19 Kids With A 'Bat'

\u201cJunior went on a wild rant about Uvalde tonight, saying the AR-15 isn\u2019t the issue because he could\u2019ve done the \u201cexact same thing\u201d with a bat, bomb or machete. He says gun owners are unfairly \u201cstigmatatized,\u201d and the real problem is that \u201ccrazy teachers\u201d are indoctrinating kids.\u201d

\u201cI was going to make fun of this, because this guy is a clown.\n\nBut I can\u2019t. \n\nLittle children were slaughtered. Little kids. \n\nThis guy has kids that age. \n\nWhat a waste of skin this guy is. So sad in so many ways.\u201d

\u201cPlease tell me when a single person has ever killed 19 people in less than an hour with a bat or machete?\u201d

\u201cI'd volunteer to be 1 of 21 people locked in a classroom with Jr who can be armed with a bat. Volunteers can utilize anything in the classroom. How do you think it would turn out? I'm guessing he'd be disarmed immediately, he'd curl into fetal position & cry like a baby.\u201d

\u201cNo. You absolutely could not have done the exact same thing with a bat or a machete.\n\nYou could *maybe* have done the same thing with a bomb. Which is why the federal government heavily regulates fertilizer and other materials that can be used to make improvised explosives.\u201d

\u201cGOP: Crazy teachers are indoctrinating our kids! We can\u2019t trust them to come up with their own curriculum! \n\nAlso GOP: let\u2019s arm teachers to prevent school shootings\u201d

\u201cI\u2019d like to see someone try to kill two dozen people with a baseball bat.\n\nDo these asshats even listen to themselves?\u201d

\u201cThis guy will run for president some day. Bet on it. Does he actually believe the shooter would have killed 19 with a bat or machete? No, but he has internalized dad\u2019s demagoguery.\u201d
