Southport shooting today leaves 3 dead and many injured as 'shooter opens fire from boat'
Daily Express USSEP 22
The Spin
Left narrative
This was a preventable bloodshed. A boat becoming a weapon highlights how gun access trumps public safety, and tourists and locals alike pay the price for political inaction. Until strict laws are enforced, no place — be it schools, malls, or restaurants — will be safe from gun violence.
Right narrative
Gun violence stems from criminals, not law-abiding citizens. The Southport attack wasn't caused by gun ownership — someone with violent intent caused it. Stricter laws only disarm responsible people and leave innocent people defenseless when danger arrives, even by boat.
