Career progressive politicians and gun control activists of all types looked to an event at a Georgia high school on Wednesday and spoke out in unison before the facts were known, calling for more restrictions. 

After an active shooter event at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia – a town of 19,000 about 50 miles north of Atlanta – state law enforcement provided a series of statements in the incident. This included the fact that the suspect was taken into custody by local authorities early into the event. 

With little to go on other than the terse statements, within minutes Democrats from the White House on down broke out the gun ban spin machine and began cranking out calls for quick action. 

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, beginning the scheduled daily press briefing, addressed the developing Winder situation and then said, "We continue to call on Congress to do something. To do something. We need universal background checks. We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Require safe storage of firearms. Invest in violence prevention programs and pass a national red flag law."

Then came an official statement from outgoing President Joe Biden, fired off at the end of the press briefing, doubling down on Jean-Pierre's reactionary wish list of restrictions while adding one to repeal the longstanding Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms law, which protects America's gun industry from frivolous lawsuits aimed at running them out of business. 

"We must ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines once again, require safe storage of firearms, enact universal background checks, and end immunity for gun manufacturers," said Biden.

Next came the assortment of Democrat organs, including the Center for American Progress ("Commonsense gun legislation saves lives") and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. 

"Congress must act now to pass and send to the President common sense gun safety legislation that includes universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons, large capacity magazines, and bump stocks," said Conference President, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther. Ginther, a Democrat and a member of the Bloomberg-funded Mayors Against Illegal Guns group has been outspoken in support of gun control for years.

Then came the volley of statements from the national gun control advocacy groups including Brady, Everytown, and Giffords, all bemoaning their perceived flaccid state of American gun laws. 

Even though state officials on the ground in the Peachtree state have not assigned a motive or detailed the suspect's actions, Shannon Watts, founder of Everytown's Moms Demand Action group, went as far as to claim, "Today’s school shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder was caused by lax gun laws." 

Less than five hours after law enforcement rushed to secure Apalachee High School, Vice President Kamala Harris was ready to comment on the event. Prior to delivering a planned speech at a campaign rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,  Harris referenced the Winder event before stressing, "Let us finally pass an assault weapon ban and universal checks and red flag laws."

The rebuttal in part from pro-2A groups was short.
