Uvalde’s shooting was horrific. It’s hard to imagine the pain that the families and friends of the victims are going through. I did a write-up on the people who were killed and it’s a truly horrible thing to see all the faces of the young kids who were just starting out in life, who had so much life to live but it was brutally taken away from them.
On top of that, we see Democrats making things worse by trying to make political hay out of it — with things like Beto O’Rourke crashing an official presser on the shooting, as well as folks on the left blaming the NRA and Republicans, who had nothing to do with it. Now they could be looking at things that could be helpful — like increasing school security and working on improving mental health, but Democrats are seemingly too focused on demonizing guns and their political opponents to look at such practical solutions. They’ve also actively supported taking police out of the schools, removing what little protection that might exist. You can see that here in one of Sen. Chris Murphy’s proposed bills.

Now, the left is even targeting the gun company that made one of the guns the Uvalde shooter used — the Daniel Defense company. The shooter purchased at least one AR-15, as we wrote about earlier.
However, the New York Times reported this fact in a story that was clearly directed at the company.
Daniel Defense was the gun maker that sold the assault rifle to an 18-year old Texas gunman. He received a loan from the PPP for $3 million. @StacyCowley https://t.co/peVxdx0D32

According to them, the PPP loan was $3.1million. So? Is that why this story is relevant to the shooting? What has that got to do with anything else? Was there anything illegal done by the company? They were they in any way involved? No, of course. Are people just trying to discredit the company or do they want it to be a way of hurting its business? They certainly seem to have done it. Not only did they write such a story, but also asked Michael Shear (NY Times White House Correspondent) Karine Jean-Pierre from the White House about the PPP Loan and whether the Biden Administration might be interested in obtaining the money back.
Jean-Pierre’s response to the question was quite troubling. It should have been, “No, why would we do that — are you saying they did anything illegal?” But instead, you can see her response here, saying she would check with her team and look into it.

Biden plans to request the return of the $3 million PPP loan that Daniel Defense received from the PPP.

This is the media asking the White House to punish a company for legal action because it goes against their political agenda and it sounds like the White House is fully on board with the idea given Jean-Pierre’s response. This is an inappropriate action that punishes people who are not in accord with the Democrat’s political agenda with assistance from the liberal media. Do we live in a democracy with Constitutional protections or are we still free?
