The Left never lets a tragedy go to waste.
“Gun control” is trending on Twitter as liberals desperately spin the tragic Aurora, Colo., movie theater shooting into a justification for banning firearms. Politicians, journalists and celebrities are howling for government action, but musician Charlie Daniels broke with the wild pack, tweeting his prayers and pushing back against the Left’s ghoulish attempt to score political points on the backs of the dead.
If you want to see government control at work look at Chicago,toughest laws,highest murder rates.

The Left responded predictably.

But Daniels took on the gun grabbers, patiently shooting down all the usual gun control talking points.
@Effyouguy Not politicizing anything just stating a fact I talk common sense ,not politics,the two have nothing to do with each other

Liberals would love for their attacks on gun ownership to go unchallenged so they can build support for gun control without pesky facts getting in the way. Not. Gonna. Happen.
@Ron4Right New York has had rigid gun laws for decades,case in point that it doesn't work. It only leaves innocent people helpless.

@nhdogmom When you've got something besides ridiculous hyperbole and silliness to add to the conversation stop back by.

@laurapcd1 I would still know that what the government wants to do will disarm innocent citizens while allowing criminals to stay armed
— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) July 20, 2012
@laurapcd1 I am for sensible gun control Taking license from crooked dealers,stop street sales etc but not leaving citizens defenseless

@nhdogmom Not at all but to assume that I advocate giving everybody guns and ammo is hyperbole and untrue. Ibelieve in sensible gun control

@jamesb2759 My state allows that and there is hardly any crime by legal carriers
— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) July 20, 2012
@nhdogmom That's the point.I'm 75 years old ,been around guns all my life and would only use one for sport or protection Im not the problem

Daniels also addressed the death wish.
@gatorboy1980 And you go seek some mental help.
