If you're getting tired of the politicians reacting to gun violence in the United States using the troupes, "thoughts and prayers," "our hearts goes out to the victims" or "now it's not the time", then you're not alone.
Are you tired of the constant reaction by politicians saying that "quick reaction by law enforcement prevent more deaths?"
Well you're not alone.
I've gotten tired of these mentions of gun violence troupes. The shrugging off of a man-made crisis caused by a person using his/her right to firearms. Most of these mass shooters are legal owners.
And are you getting tired of the politicians (especially Republicans) using Chicago as an excuse to deflect from gun violence in RED STATES?
The Allen, Texas mass shooting is the latest. Lawmakers react with the usual "thoughts and prayers."
Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) has made it clear that Americans who don't believe in "thoughts and prayers" are not in favor of the Almighty God.
Just pray harder. https://t.co/4KcjYmoKSZ

Question: Are you concerned about the rise in these incidents across the country?

Rep. Self: Of course. Absolutely. Any time there is violence, whether it be in one of the big cities, riots, the trashing of stores in Chicago, or shootings like this.. pic.twitter.com/ld0EcGDmB5

Self, who represents Texas' 3rd Congressional District which includes Allen, Texas, the site of the latest mass shooting in the U.S. pivoted on CNN about gun violence by using the troupes.
When a CNN reporter asked what his response was to people who feel "prayers aren't cutting it," the congressman said, "Well, those are people that don't believe in an almighty god who is absolutely in control of our lives."
He is one of the 300 members who refuse to acknowledge the 2020 results and is more concerned about Dylan Mulvaney being a spokesperson for Bud Light. On top of that, he like the insufferable Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) and Ronny Jackson (R-TX) all pose with firearms like they're so tough.
Texas, Alabama, Ohio, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Arkansas, Indiana, North Carolina, District of Columbia, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Hawai'i, Virginia, Kansas, Puerto Rico, Kentucky, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Tennessee had mass shootings this year.
The shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets sent hundreds of shoppers and employees fleeing in panic. Authorities said the gunman, who has not yet been named, killed eight and wounded seven others before being killed by a police officer who happened to be nearby.
