Fox News pundits Arthel Neville and Judy Miller used their supposedly right-wing platform to smear Republicans and demand gun control on Sunday.
Borrowing from the Democrats’ talking points, Miller referred to Republicans as the “party of egregious mass shootings and uncontrolled guns” after calling for outright gun confiscation similar to Australia.
“If New Zealand and Australia can do it after their mass shooting, why can’t we?” Miller asked. “I think it really depends on the Republicans now — they must stop being the party of egregious mass shootings and uncontrolled guns. That has to stop. It’s up to them. And I think Mitch McConnell’s instructions to his fellow Republicans to negotiate with the Democrats suggests that he understands something’s changing.”

Australia in 1996 imposed a mandatory gun buyback program called the “National Firearms Agreement”, forcing gun owners to surrender their semi automatic rifles and pump-action shotguns to the government to be destroyed.
New Zealand imposed a national gun registry and banned all semiautomatic firearms following the Christchurch shooting in 2019, which hasn’t improved overall safety in the country as predicted by the politicians.
Miller lamented that the “furor and the anger that people feel over” the Uvalde mass shooting “is likely to diminish” by the time Congress returns from recess, which begins next week.
“The question, Arthel, is how long will the furor over this kind of mass shooting last?” Miller continued. “Will it be enough to finally, finally push the country, the Senate, the House into some sensible gun control?”
At that point, Neville took aim at semiautomatic rifles, noting that both the Uvalde and the Buffalo supermarket shooter used an AR-15 to commit their heinous crimes.
“In each incident, the shooter was an 18-year-old male, the murder weapon in each incident a semiautomatic rife, AR-15-style firearms,” Neville said. “Are we at social change tipping point? Because that is what it’s going to take for lawmakers to pay attention when the people speak and speak loudly.”
These leftist talking points represent a significant split from the Republican Party and the National Rifle Association, who held a conference Friday attended by former President Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and other GOP officials.
