I'm catholic but prayers mean nothing. So yes, I roll my eyes at politicians who send their prayers.

Next, let's drop the fifth. This due process stuff is why we now have Kavenaugh on the Supreme Court, isn't it?


Finally, let's drop the first. At least that freedom of religion part. Everybody knows that all wars are fought over religion. Like John Lennon said, "Imagine".

Nobody said ban all guns, just follow Australia's example....Does one really need a semi-auto for hunting? Canadians have guns, for hunting, not protection...Australians have guns as well....

The federal government of Australia prohibited their import, and lawmakers introduced a generous nationwide gun buyback program, As for mass killings, there were no more. Not one in the past 22 years.

Not a good example. They had none before that either.

Praying to Satan will yield the same result as praying to God: Nothing.

Background checks prior to purchase. The Midland-Odessa shooter was barred from acquiring a firearm because he didn't pass the background check. He managed to get one anyway.

If that doesn't convince you of the uselessness of instant background checks, then you clearly don't have the necessary background to conduct a rational analysis of the issue.
