The Spin

Democratic narrative

The second time that Evers has been targeted by a gunman, the event at Wisconsin's Capitol perfectly sums up the growing crises surrounding firearm possession and political acts of violence within the US. Those who have championed progressive causes, such as Governors Evers and Whitmer, shouldn't have to live with the threat of being shot because of their visions for public office.

Republican narrative

While moral arguments for gun control may seem noble to those on the left, they're completely redundant without any acceptance of the constitutional realities of firearm possession in the US. Despite continued claims otherwise, the Second Amendment is clear in the rights granted to each and every American citizen, and it is highly unlikely that this will ever change.
