Of course, Clinton and Democratic leaders are calling for trigger locks on guns because they are planning to make this a major Democrat issue in this year's political campaigns. But that only makes the point stronger. So far not a single liberal has publicly dissented from the idea that gun control is the lesson to be drawn from this tragedy, let alone questioned the Democrats' sick exploitation of it for political ends. The inhabitants of this crack house do not observe laws. They live to break laws.
Child abuse is against the law.
That is already against law. Calling for a law to require parents who stash their kids in crack houses to put trigger locks on the stolen guns lying around is a sick joke. An even sicker joke would be to expect liberal Democrats or the liberal press to acknowledge this obvious fact. But better than that, it is an exercise in the very denial that provides liberalism with a reason to exist. This last question applies with a slight twist to the shooting that occurred days later in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, where a black racist named Ronald Taylor went on a rampage that took the lives of three people.
