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.).

Yes and I am loving every second of being an old fart even after two rounds of lung cancer.

Have a great evening.

I believe many if not all authors at The Hill are Democrat media shills.

These Marxists know no bounds for politicizing a tragic event. I bet the visions of gun snatching are dancing in her head and dreams of deposing our 2nd Amendment rights will give her a good night’s sleep. She is like the devil dancing over the person giving in to his temptation to sin. It is why I call them DemonRATs.

Fauxcahontas knows she’ll never have her communist “utopia” in America as long as the American people are armed. She’s dancing in the blood of Christians tonight. What a pig.

Blame the gun - there ya go. He has already committed at least 30 crimes - 26 murders, 2 counts of illegal possesor for crimes against his wife and son. PLEASE POCHOANANTIS TELL US HOW MORE GUN CONTROL LAWS COULD HAVE POSSBILY STOPPED THIS? I AM ALL EARS AS ARE THE REST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE NRA.

As long as Warren and her liberal ilk accept the killing of babies in the womb they should can their concern for “people are dying” because of guns. If they’re so concerned about deaths, start with Planned Parenthood.

You make great points. These DemonRATs will exploit this tragedy for the full benefit to their tyrannic agenda.

“Something tells me if the Demoblicans could grab our guns, the BATF would be Johnny-on-the-spots.”

OK, I want a plan for Federal level gun confiscation detailing logistics, funding, personnel, concept of the operation plus legal basis, with predicted likely citizen compliance, and I want it right now!

For cripes sake, not even Chuckie Cheez Schumer is going to physically wrench a firearm from its owner’s hands.

And no BATFE agent wants to get shot while banging on some citizen’s door to do so. And he’s not going to be ordered to do so as long as DJT is in office.

Let’s just take a deep breath; nothing confiscatory happened under Bammie’s regime except in a handful of nutty blue states, and even those draconian measures have been largely ignored by the gun owners they were aimed at.

Calm down, folks!

“we shall disarm them ourselves”.

Did Princess Squatting Grey Beaver actually say that?

You and what army, Lieawatha? Fauxcahontas? Crockajawea?

How does Warren sleep at night trying to take guns away from people so they can defend themselves from spur-of-the-moment attacks?

Senator Warren,
The problem can be summed up in four words that cover everything that has been happening:

THE LEFT IS VIOLENT!

And they and you are not going to change.

“Gun reform” and “common sense” test better with their idiots in the focus groups. Hollywood has been using it for a while in House of Cards and that Kiefer Sutherland crap.

Antifa is the militant arm of the Democrat Party. The Democrats WANT this stuff to happen so they can remain relevant.

When will they go along with banning potential jihadist murderers from renting vehicles?

Senator SpeakingBull, should we ban rental trucks from Muslims? Let’s ban liars from the Senate, too.

Bring back the “psychiatric hospital · mental hospital · mental institution” or whatever the new PC term is.
