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

A threat to Democracy is a threat to the minority. The minority is the GOVERNMENT! You will never take our guns.

With multiple generations of gun control, which your side always says “will work”… and yet you are still here. Apparently your last 40 years of controls didn’t work, I take it? When will you grow up enough to realize that you have NO idea what you are doing? Find humility.

You don't understand his call for prayer because you reject God. However, for those of us who believe in prayer and trust in Jesus it is the best thing we can do at a time like this. Laws are already in place to make what the shooter did illegal. He didn't possess a gun lawfully. He murdered people, which is also against the law. You want to add some other law that people like this will disobey? That doesn't seem very smart.

How about a ban on SSRI medication? Or following up on the perp's documented threats and hallucinations?

You share a lot with Mao I see.

Proving that, like all Democrats, you hate citizens and will lie to harm them. Fact: all legal firearm purchases require a federal background check. The 94 federal assault weapons ban increased crime in all categories. Firearms cannot be un-invented. Criminals have them, and will continue to have them, and no legislation change that. Disarming law abiding citizens ensures their victimhood. If police were capable of being an omnipresent force we would not have crime at all. Even if I assume you have the best intentions, it doesn’t change the fact that your position harms more people than it helps.
