Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb (D) blamed the Sunday morning shooting that wounded nine people on constitutional carry and Ohio Republicans and called for the state legislature to give him the ability to enact more gun control.
The Cleveland shooting took place in the Warehouse District around 2:30 a.m. The shooter fled the scene after opening fire, as Breitbart News reported.
There were no fatalities.
Mayor Bibb commented on the incident, saying, “Last summer, the Republican-led legislature in Columbus passed Senate Bill 215,” NBC News showed.
He suggested an “uptick” in violence across the state from SB 215, the bill which took away the mandate that law-abiding citizens had to get a permit from the state government before carrying a gun for self-defense.
Bibb did not mention that CBS News listed Cleveland was the city with the tenth highest murder rate in American in 2019 — three years before constitutional carry took effect in Ohio.
Mayor Boob exemplifies the Democrat way of forgetting the truth and important historical facts.
Constitutional Carry laws do not allow a convicted felon to own or carry a firearm. Convicts will always break laws to reach their objective. Laws mean nothing to them.
When the fact-checkers run this one through their algorithms – it will be noted that the thug probably wasn’t qualified in the first place due to prior convictions,
Cleveland elected Dennis the Menace as mayor a few decades back so voters got what they wanted in this current dim bulb. All he has to do is revoke the perp’s gun permit. Too easy!
Possible complication, just as in nearly 100% of these cases, is perp is too young to own much less carry, or as a felon is prohibited. But why mess with details that run contrary to the DemCommie story line?
