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

Prayer? Gmab. Laughable.

Name one of the 20,000+ firearm regulations or laws that stop criminals from getting firearms. I'll wait for a reply but won't hold my breath while waiting.

Prayer with inaction is useless. I always think of the mother of one of the bar shooting victims in CA yelling that she doesn’t want thoughts and prayers but gun control instead.

We have laws that aren't enforced. We have criminals that aren't punished. What's to deter a criminal from committing crimes? Your answer is to make more laws. That doesn't make sense to me.
