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

Murder is already against the law. He had a gun that was not legal for him to have. And yet, here we are

It’s a good thing [insert illegal activity here] is illegal so [illegal activity that recently happened] doesn’t happen.

No such thing as high capacity. There is no definition of an "assault weapon". It's a made up term to take people's 2nd amendment rights away. Bump stocks are banned and everyone who buys a gun legally must undergo a FBI background check. None of these are the problem.

We have given a lot of ground over the years, but we all know this is one fight you can't knock us out on.

We already have bans on assault weapons. If the people being shot at were armed things would go down much differently. The lawful majority of people being restricted on carrying is the issue. We need less restrictions on when and how people carry, not more
