She didn’t point out that California has all of the gun controls she accused Maine of missing, but California led the nation in “active shooter incidents” in 2021.
Moreover, Watts criticized Maine’s gun controls earlier than information in regards to the shootings had been identified or a suspect — or suspects — had been apprehended.
This means she supplied her criticism at a time when nobody even knew how the attacker acquired his gun(s).
