Progressive activists and their allies in the mainstream media, including MSNBC host Al Sharpton, are framing the tragic Parkland, Fla. shooting debate around restricting access to legally-purchased guns.

The Left and pro-gun-control advocates tweeted and posted outrage, and rightfully so, after a lone gunman shot and killed at least 59 people and wounded more than 500 concert-goers in Las Vegas Sunday night.
