'This is an awful night for Lafayette, an awful night for Louisiana, an awful night for the United States,' said Governor, and presidential candidate, Bobby Jindal at the scene of America’s latest mass shooting.
His voice wobbled, his lips trembled and his eyes welled up as he dug deep into the reservoirs of statesmanlike emotion.
'This is a time for us to come together,' he said, 'What we can do now is pray. We can hug these families, shower them with love, thoughts and prayers.'
All fine words, of course.
Exactly what a Governor should say when people in his state have just been murdered and maimed as they watch a movie.
But Jindal’s rhetoric made me want to vomit, coming as they did from a man who’s on record as saying: 'In Louisiana we love us some guns.'
Louisiana is ground zero for America’s gun violence epidemic.
An official report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention a year ago revealed that 45 per cent of Louisiana residents have a gun in their homes.
This compares, as the local Louisiana Weekly newspaper pointed out, to 13 per cent for Rhode Island.
The State ranks fifth for weakest gun laws in the country, according to data researched by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
Louisiana has twice the national average of gun deaths, with 18 per 100,000 residents. (Rhode Island, again by comparison, has just 3 per 100,000).

The blood for this is one YOUR hands and all the idiots like you that have pushed these “gun free zones” (like this theater) which create safe heavens for this to happen.
Are we still allowing this Limey poofter to infest our country?
Piers , go hump yourself, you ignorant bastard.
Time to DEPORT Piers
I would pay good money for the sheer joy of popping Piers Morgan in the mouth.
BS, Piers. Go home to Britain - you aren’t welcome here.
Why is he still here? He was supposed to leave.
Well that didn’t take long.
And 0bama has the blood of every American victim of illegal aliens on him
What part of “shut up limey scum” does this man not understand?
Stats skewed by the liberal sewer New Orleans.
Won’t he go to jail if he returns to England?
I would pay good money to WATCH you pop Piers in the mouth!
Spare me your croc tears, Piers Morgan.
Hey doofus....go back to England.....NOW!
“Won’t he go to jail if he returns to England?”
That’s not my problem. Limey scum trying to take my guns is my problem. Seems like a problem we fixed 230 years ago.
P.J. O’Rourke once referred to New Orleans as a high crime drainage ditch.
Piers Morgan is a twatwaffle.
