The Spin
Democratic narrative
The refusal of the GOP to act on the loss of innocent lives is shameful. Dems are fighting to progress legislation to implement further gun control measures and tackle the scourge of white supremacy motivating domstic terrorism in the US. Now they need the support of the right to help protect American citizens.
Republican narrative
Although Dems routinely blame mass shootings on easy access to guns, experts believe the year-on-year increase in killings (up 40% in Milwaukee from the same time in 2021) is down to the pressures of the COVID pandemic. Increased stress in recent months has contributed to a downturn in mental health, and a rise in violence, with tragic consequences.
