Following any incident of gun violence, such as the recent shootings in Colorado Springs and the Walmart store in Virginia, the Democrats and their PR wing that masquerades as the news media have offered their standard reactions.

Until the identity of the shooter is known, they blame President Trump and his MAGA supporters; this enables them to further their MAGA extremist-domestic terrorist narrative. This dehumanization is used to justify draconian measures against political opponents.

If the identity of the shooter is established and the shooter belongs to a minority demographic, such as the Walmart shooter, they restart their campaign for gun control, which is a euphemism for gun confiscation.  They blame Republicans for the shooting and highlight Republicans who accepted donations from the NRA. They push the narrative that the GOP has shady links with the gun lobby and hence are enablers of murderers.

The GOP often finds itself in a quandary.  If they immediately defend their stand on guns, they fear being perceived as insensitive towards the victims. They also fear being the recipients of vicious attacks from Democrat media proxies, and Democrats. At times there could be violence from Democrat-enabled activists.
