The deranged man who on Wednesday “indiscriminately” opened fire on a Dallas immigration facility, killing one person, and then killing himself, was, it would appear, raised in a liberal family.
Shooter Joshua Jahn’s mother, Sharon Jahn, is an anti-gun liberal who used Facebook to lash out at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn in 2022 over their unrelenting support for the Second Amendment, according to the New York Post.
“Governor Abbott, Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz how does it make you feel that your action to open up gun laws is responsible for the killing of 21 more people?” she wrote, referencing the Uvalde mass shooting, which had occurred the day prior.
“Do you secretly sit in front of a tv and smile a demented smile? You must be proud of all the money that sits in your bank accounts from gun lobby support. Was it worth it, Governor Abbott? How about you senators? When you prioritize money over people this is what you get,” Jahn’s mother continued.

She went on to slam Cornyn in particular for allegedly not having the guts to attend the National Rifle Association’s 2022 annual meeting.
“Senator Cornyn, I realize you suddenly had something in DC come up where you won’t be attending,” she wrote. “It’s unfortunate you don’t even have the spine to stand up to the NRA and tell them the real reason you aren’t attending. You are a coward, a spineless coward.”
Later that same day, Jahn reportedly published another Facebook post calling out Abbott over his A rating with the NRA.
Two days later, she posted some of the lyrics from singer Jacques Brel’s 1956 hit, “If We Only Have Love.”
Confronted by The Independent via phone on Wednesday, Jahn was so emotional and distraught that she was unable to speak much.
“I’m sorry, I can’t talk to you right now,” she said while sobbing. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. But I just can’t talk to you now.”
In an earlier interview, her other son, Noah, alleged to NBC News that his brother wasn’t particularly political and “didn’t have strong feelings about ICE, as far as I knew.”
ICE is an acronym for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Yet when the authorities found his brother’s body, they discovered that some of his ammunition had been tagged with the words “ANTI-ICE.”
Yesterday afternoon, Ilhan Omar called for ICE to be “abolished.”
Last night, Gavin Newsom called for people to “push back” against ICE agents.
Today, an anti-ICE radical shot up a Dallas ICE facility.

According to NBC News, Noah also “said they grew up about 30 miles away in Allen, Texas,” and that “they were Boy Scouts and that his brother took an interest in coding but was unemployed.”
Furthermore, his brother had been planning to move back in with their parents in Oklahoma prior to his untimely death on the 24th.
As to whether Jahn’s liberal “resistance” views ever rubbed off on her son Joshua, the evidence suggests they did.
A man who said he’d known Joshua since he was a member of the same Boy Scout troop recalled him complaining about the government’s handling of the migrant caravans several years ago.
“He was just upset about how people were not understanding people’s desperation to get out of bad situations and how immigration was being handled as a whole,” the man said.
The guy added that Joshua was “passionate” about the issues, though he cautioned that he never knew him to be “the action type of person.”

The man concluded by expressing his shock over the shooting.
“He [Joshua] was pretty against it,” he said, referencing gun violence. “So that’s why this is making it even more surprising. He was not somebody that would condone those kind of actions.”
