Okay, you’ve probably figured out that the bit about the guns firing themselves is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but that list of shootings is very real, and blaming the guns themselves is de rigueur on the Left, so you get the idea.
Portland is one of the wokest cities around. The woke city leaders dismantled the police gun team and the riot squad — actually, all those guys just up and quit — and defunded the overall department, which resulted in a flood of cops leaving. The result has been an explosion in crime. Now, the mayor, a talentless tool who is the police commissioner and oversaw this dismantling at the request of Antifa and their BLM buddies, is attempting to backfill the cop shop.
We’re reliably told by the Left that guns are the problem and not the people who shoot them. Joe Biden announced over the weekend while visiting Uvalde, Texas that no one should have 9mm ammo; that they should be happy with .22 caliber ammo in their handgun.
In what is likely another “Oh, that’s just Joe” story in the Biden Apocrypha, the president told the story of talking to a doctor “20 to 25 years” ago who said “a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out, may be able to get it, and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.”
Hey, you guys at the range — yeah you — stop laughing.

For context, a .22 caliber bullet is the ammo preferred by assassins because it’s a subsonic round and won’t be heard by the neighbors, but don’t let that get in the way of another Joe Biden stumbling stemwinder.
The Uvalde mass murder was committed by a drop-out mental case who managed to buy expensive guns and ammo with a burger-flipping job then strolled onto school grounds, whereupon the gun began shooting itself while helpless, undefended children were targeted in the crosshairs. The gun’s first victim was the murderer’s grandmother, when she threatened to take away his cellphone.
Joe has nothing to say about the hundreds killed by all kinds of guns firing themselves in Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, and Portland.
Very strange.
