Would blame the democrats because the party's against assault weapons and everyone knows more guns are the answer to everything.

Probably the party position is that peaceful protests are protected by the constitution. Looting, arson, shootings are not.

When we're in control, let's ban all weapons at mass gatherings or at any gathering approved by a level of govt.
