The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security held a hearing Thursday on finding a solution to gun violence, and the difference of opinion between Democrats and Republicans was put on full display. Passions ran high given the sensitivity of the issues involved, as liberal lawmakers focused on weapons and conservatives on the people who use them. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-La., a former judge who handled felony cases, was in the latter group and focused on the need to instill morality in people, citing Judeo-Christian principles. He went so far as to say it is the bedrock of the nation's founding principles, and that the effectiveness of the Constitution depends on it.

He’s right.
Wanna solve gun violence? Ban democrats, not guns
The Constitution is dependent upon a moral people.
My response to Goemer is to not worry about how many people are getting killed. That’s how you clean up society eventually.
It’s not our guns; it’s your sons.
“Gohmert claimed that ‘the Constitution won’t work’ unless children learn right from wrong.”
Nothing will work. It will be hell on earth.
Democrats are IMMORAL, therefore BAN DEMOCRATS!!!!
“America will be great if America is good. If not, her greatness will vanish away like a morning cloud” — Andrew Reed and James Matheson, English ministers who wrote about their travels to the U.S. in the 1830s.
A people not in control of themselves surely are not able to control their weapons properly either.
People need to be able to control themselves.
The younger generation has been trending steadily leftward, not just socially, but also fiscally. Even those with right leaning political views embrace concepts that their parents would reject out of hand.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams
The 2nd amendment should NEVER be brought up as a possibility for repeal, no matter what the content or context of the discussion.
Undoubtedly, the related CNN headline will be “GOP Congressman calls for elimination of 2nd amendment”... which effectively will prove his point about issues of right, wrong, and moral conduct.
Not about the Second Amendment he isn’t.
Let every single adult who wants to carry for their own protection carry. It’s the only way that starts working as soon as it’s tried. Most cities are turning into Dodge city these days and only firepower and the will to use it will ever clean it up. Yeah, it’s actually a war and we better get involved fighting it.
Little Sambo’s will be far less likely to brandish a weapon if they know others can take quick decisive defensive action. In other words, they may get shot if they pull out a gun.
(’We’re going to have to get rid of the Second Amendment’.)
Aaaaaaaand now the gun grabbing Democrats have a new talking point.
The experts all agree...
Looks like we need to get rid of the perverts and communists and teach kids right from wrong.
A quote to your point.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams
Well the democrats can’t tell right from wrong
