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.).

You have to be stark, raving mad to suggest that decent, peace-loving people disarm in the face of evil, violent men. That would be like swearing off food in the face of a famine, or refusing to drink because there is a drought. They’re nuts.

It has been proven Antifa on at least a dozen threads.

Good point.

Yesterday I read Rand Paul had minor injuries from the attack by his leftist neighbor.

A while ago I see Paul has 5 broken ribs, 3 of them are displaced fractures.

Those are NOT minor injuries.

And, almost 23 years later, Feinstein is still a danger to the Republic.

Fake Injun squaw is not only a communistic demogogue, she’s smoked far far too much locoweed. Someone should do her a big favor and take her in for mental health treatment ASAP

I just got a Twitter account and discovered I can troll these moron Senators and Congresscritters.

I’m amused.

(And, for the record...not suicidal. If I Marcy Park myself it wasn’t me).

“Oh, but they do.”

That was Feinstein over 20 years ago. Although I’m sure she feels the same way now, she’d never come out and say it again that way. The buzzphrase now is “common sense gun control”, which sells better than “confiscate”.

So one of her very own antifa terrorists shoots up a church and she blames it on others....

What a gal she lies about being native american, I am, and now she wants to lay the blame of liberal terrorism on the NRA.

How about we line up antifa in front of her office and see if she has balls enough to deal with them herself.

We do....

The only way to fix it is to train and arm everybody but even that can’t stop it all. That will require time where more of these murderers getting shot when they pull their weapon where some armed citizen blows them away before they get the chance to murder in mass
