Responded to the mass shooting in Maine last night, our new Speaker of the House said prayer is appropriate at a time like this. That’s it. That was his response. 1/3

Darn right, Mr. Speaker. So is a ban on assault weapons, universal background checks, banning bump stocks and high-capacity magazines, and more. Using prayer as cover for the political unwillingness to address earthly problems is a mockery of faith. 2/3

Marianne, no solution, no sanity, no intelligence, and no honor and integrity is expected from the United States any longer. And no change in the status quo--except perhaps a decline in stature--was expected with MAGA Bayou/Swamp Mike, who was even worse than the wrestling coach

Ask the people of Israel is they wished they were armed
Replying to @marwilliamson
A prayer in your heart and a gun on your hip. Even the people of Israel were disarmed by their govt. Too bad more people weren't armed last night.

why don’t you care about the mass shootings in Chicago that happen every weekend? do you not care about people of color? seems racist to me.

Yeah prayers are literally all you can do for the dead. Nothing you do will save them at this point. Derp.

NONE OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING WORKS. YOU HAVE 450 MILLION GUNS AND YOU HAVE EVEN MORE MAGAZINES AND BULLETS GOOD LUCK PASSING ANY LAWS THAT DO ANYTHING. I BETTER OPTION IS REMOVE GUN FREE ZONES AND ARM EVERYONE WITH PROPER TRAINING.

I’m glad you feel so strongly about supporting a political system that is doing everything possible to sweep your under the rug.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Democrats held all three branches and did nothing....GOP has their position. You're not going to figure this out...spare us.
Replying to @marwilliamson
