We regret to inform you but Fox Nation host, Trump supporter and professional contrarian, Tomi Lahren, is at it again.
The 26-year-old is currently moaning on Twitter about the calls for stricter gun laws to be introduced to the United States, lashing out at Democrats who made the calls following the latest mass shooting, which left two people dead and four injured at UNC Charlotte on Tuesday.
Lahren called the Democrats 'shameless' and claimed that even if laws were introduced, they wouldn't done anything to stop the shooting and even took aim at Eric Swalwell, a California congressman and presidential candidate who has campaigned for stronger gun measures in the US.
The shameless Democrats use tragedy to push for more gun control- even though more gun laws wouldn’t have prevented… https://t.co/Bc43E5Mwp1— Tomi Lahren (@Tomi Lahren) 1556661340
Dear @RepSwalwell : crazed, hateful maniacs who set out to murder Jews, Christians, Muslims or human beings in gene… https://t.co/uUjVsfjnax— Tomi Lahren (@Tomi Lahren) 1556673378
In response, Swalwell asked Lahren a question about Australia, who in 1996 passed the National Firearms Agreement, which banned semi-automatics, self-loading rifles and shotguns following a mass shooting where 35 people died.
Swalwell simply wanted to know if Lahren knew how many shootings had happened in Australia since the law was passed, pointing out that is was fewer than the 2,031 that have happened since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012 (spoiler: the answer is zero).
Just a one word answer please: how many mass shootings has Australia had since it banned assault weapons? Is it few… https://t.co/X9vgE9PFjL— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@Rep. Eric Swalwell) 1556681176
Lahren, didn't seem to know the answer to this question but it didn't stop her from replying to Swalwell and posting something which basically supported his statement.
Did you know Australians now own more guns in total than they did before the 1996 crackdown? I’ll wait.... https://t.co/2vXeXP3d5j— Tomi Lahren (@Tomi Lahren) 1556685734
What Lahren has failed to recognise here is that Australia's gun laws have stopped people from buying or owning guns, but it has made it a safer environment to be a gun owner and prevented weapons of this kind falling into the wrong hands and committing horrific crimes.
This is one in a very long line of self-owns by Lahren and people, including actress and gun control activist Alyssa Milano.
Cool! Toni! Yes! Australia has strict gun laws and they still own guns AND the country is safe from unnecessary gun… https://t.co/aoQaV54rEc— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa Milano) 1556709068
@TomiLahren So you’re saying that gun control laws will prevent mass shootings while not hindering legitimate gun ownership?— Nick Felker, a good-hearted weirdo (@Nick Felker, a good-hearted weirdo) 1556686224

Lahren, perhaps realising that she had embarrassed herself tried to post a witty reply to Milano but just ended up reinforcing her pro-gun and anti-immigration stance.
Naw it means more guns doesn’t equal more violence! And if you and your ilk insist on allowing illegals to invade o… https://t.co/KtInNEl9cR— Tomi Lahren (@Tomi Lahren) 1556709305
