Like most old white men in public office, they’re just marking, time filling their wallets. A moment of silence and a prayer? That’s all they can afford, anything more might take away from their nest egg. Don’cha know?
The country did nothing about gun control after a shooter killed two dozen schoolchildren and teachers. It did nothing after a deranged man shot everybody in a nightclub. Who thinks it will do something now?
Pull yourself together man! There is money at stake here. Those people are dead! There is nothing we can do for them now. Focus on what’s important, THE MONEY!
Republican Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, who on Thursday returned for his first full day of work in the House since being wounded in a shooting this summer, said the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday had only “fortified” his position on gun control.
“When there’s a tragedy like this, the first thing we should be thinking about is praying for the people who were injured and doing whatever we can to help them,” Scalise told Fox News host Martha MacCallum in an interview on Tuesday. “We shouldn’t first be thinking of promoting our political agenda. I think we see too much of that, where people say, ‘OK, now you have to have gun control.’”
Instituting background checks at roving gun shows, the same as for permanent gun shops, would not be considered (by any rational, intelligent person) to be “gun control.” Problem is, more than a few members of Congress should be instituted in the appropriate institutions……….
if you will note, the Congressmen have their “Tin-foil” caps on to protect themselves from any possible stray productive ‘thoughts’ that might occur. much better than “kevlar,” you know. That “Dome” has been known to keep intelligent thought away for decades!
Funny that the GOP says this isn’t the time to talk about this but the propaganda machine already has their facebook posts put together. One claims to refute Jimmy Kimmel’s statements, but fails.

Stick to the talking points, 1) thoughts and prayers, 2) this isn’t the time to do anything.

Maybe if the guy had played like the separatists back in the 50’s that opened up on Congress?

But these were mostly white country music fans. What is this country coming to?

Not a problem. They each have two brains: A small nearly useless one in their head; and a much larger, ever active one in the area of their wallets.

Obviously the only way that things will change is to vote Republicans out of office.

One of these days when it is time to talk about gun control it might be too late!
