Breitbart News reported that Republican Congressmen were attacked June 14 by a Bernie Sanders supporter armed with a rifle and a handgun. Both guns were acquired via background checks, the gun control mechanism which the left and their surrogates in the establishment media hold as sacrosanct.

The New York Times admitted that the lefts beloved gun control was impotent to stop the attacker, but simultaneously covered their bases by arguing that no one wants to live in a world where guns are easier to acquire and law-abiding citizens go about their days with a gun on their hip or in their purses. The NYT does not realize that in the real worldthe world outside of NYT headquarters, CNN headquarters, and the Washington DC beltwaymillions upon millions of Americans carry a gun on their hip or in their purses daily for self-defense.

Brooks commercial shows that this is lost on the establishment media, who could not keep from asking him about gun control in the immediate aftermath of the Alexandria attack:

The establishment media stuck a mic in front of Brooks and asked, Does this change your views on the gun situation in America?

Brooks responded, The Second Amendment right to bear arms is to help ensure that we always have a Republic. So no, Im not changing my position on any of the rights that we enjoy as Americans.
