While headlines are stirring this week in the aftermath of a grocery store shooting in Buffalo, New York Saturday which left ten people dead and three wounded, the Biden administration and left-wing media are focused on demonizing guns rather than the criminals behind them.
It is simple to conclude that weapons are unable to cause harm without user interference, still, the narrative to take firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens under the guise of curbing criminal behavior remains.
“We can keep assault weapons off our streets,” Biden said in a statement Tuesday while visiting the families of the victims. “We’ve done it before.”
A criminal is one who breaks the law; a crime is committed when the law of the land is violated. In consideration of this, one must deduce that tightening restrictions on guns via legislation would only harm law-abiding citizens, since criminals such as Payton Gendron act outside of the confines of the law.
Tatum Report CEO and host of The Officer Tatum Show, Brandon Tatum commented on gun restrictions in a tweet Sunday, stating:
Gun laws and restrictions DO NOT APPLY TO CRIMINALS
If you don't mind killing people, then you couldn't care less about a GUN LAW.
Ironically this mass shooting happened in a state with some of the strictest gun laws AGAINST LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.

In 2013 New York enacted the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act, which bans the in-state acquisition of “assault weapons” including rifles, shotguns, and handguns with certain characteristics, and limits magazine capacity to seven bullets.
Regardless, laws of any nature, including gun laws, are of no importance to those with criminal intent. In the end, it is the citizens who legally employ their second amendment rights that are negatively affected.
