Warren to GOP: Thoughts and prayers not enough after Texas shooting
The Hill ^ | November 5, 2017 | Olivia Beavers

Posted on 11/05/2017 5:52:52 PM PST by jazusamo

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Sunday slammed Republicans for offering their condolences in the wake of the Texas church shooting while failing to take concrete steps to curb gun violence.

"Thoughts & prayers are not enough, GOP. We must end this violence. We must stop these tragedies. People are dying while you wait," Warren wrote in one tweet.

Warren took to Twitter to express her anger and heartbreak after a gunman opened fire at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, killing at least 26 people and injuring about 20 others.

She took aim at the National Rifle Association (NRA), asking when her congressional colleagues will finally take a stand against their gun policies.

"How many kids must die of gun violence on playgrounds & streets every day with no attention at all before we wake up to what’s happening?" she wrote in a another tweet.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) called the church massacre the state's "deadliest mass shooting."

Authorities have not yet announced the identity of the shooter, who also died.

The Massachusetts lawmaker joins a growing group of Democratic lawmakers who are renewing their calls for gun reform in the wake of the latest mass shooting including Sens. Chris Murphy (Conn.) and Kamala Harris (Calif.).

Warren should just shut up. She is an airbag, with a history of lying.

“Thoughts & prayers are not enough, GOP. We must end this violence. We must stop these tragedies.”

Let’s meet her half way.

Disarm all leftists.

Anyone who still votes Democrat should not be allowed to own or carry a weapon.

...Notice they only complain and never cite what things they specifically demand be done...

Oh, but they do. The final solution is total confiscation.

Maybe the faux Indian Princess should introduce a bill in Congress banning convicted felons from purchasing or owning firearms ... that should fix it!

Dear Ms Warren:

Respectfully, please let me know if I'm in error, here.

The perp in the "Texas shooting" was already the subject of "gun control", as convicted felons (If I understand correctly, anyone in the military receiving a dishonorable discharge as the result of a court martial is a felon) cannot legally possess a firearm.

Should you not, as a U. S. Senator, know this?

Have a very nice day.

“Dishonorable Discharge from the US Military. He was already precluded from owning firearms.”

And he posted a photo of his AR-15 on Fakebook (labeling it “Bad bitch”) but zip was done about it.
Something tells me if the Demoblicans could grab our guns, the BATF would be Johnny-on-the-spots.

The only way you can prevent a person from Criminally using a Firearm is to confiscate EVERY FIREARM EVER MANUFACTURED.

Go for it Lieawatha.

No more neglecting the death penalty. And maybe public floggings should make a comeback.
