    "I don't want prayers. I don't want thoughts. I want gun control." Susan Orfanos says her son, Telemachus Orfanos, survived last year's Las Vegas mass shooting but did not survive the massacre at a Thousand Oaks bar. https://abcn.ws/2QvvJID pic.twitter.com/aanWXMmbsq

        Here’s an idea, how about we blame the shooter, and not the weapon? Whenever something like this happens, way too many people immediately blame guns, and forget there was a very sick individual behind it. #LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

        Mental illness has been a reality since the dawn of time and will always be. Mass shootings have become a national epidemic unique to America in the past 20 years. Spot the difference.

        I'm so sorry, ma'am and I'm in complete agreement with you. When politicians say "thoughts and prayers" it is only a trite euphemism that is a reflex to tragedy. It has no meaning and I doubt many of them actually pray for victims after saying that.

        Do why is the mayor of London coming up with ideas like banning big trucks and banning kitchen knives? It’s nothing to do with guns but everything to do with the pushing out of Christ in the western world. Not a coincidence.

        He didn't use a cross to murder people, he used a gun. There is no coincidence in that, you are right.

        Because of course. I grieve for her but California has every possible gun law short of a total ban.

        State by state laws are meaningless when firearms can easily be transported anywhere. Federal gun reform is needed.

        The problem isn't gun reform. It's us. We r made by God 2 b governed by our conscious. Not politics or gun reform; our conscious. The law of God & fear of God is not n the minds of the human race. Kids r not raised w/ the fear & admonition of God. And we r paying 4 it; dearly.

        That’s the spirit @schrod let’s tell people to “shove it” that will definitely help with the anger and division in society. 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄

        It doesn’t help anger/division when people assign simple answers to complex issues. “They need prayer.” Ok, great. Is that all? Is there something else we can do or does making that assertion end the conversation? This may make someone feel good but it doesn’t change anything.

        "and tomorrow" -- See, even you agree your prayers alone aren't doing enough (read: anything).
