LINK Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert: 'More prayers' would stop mass shootings

During a floor speech on Wednesday, Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas argued against gun safety legislation, saying that prayers to the Christian God were a better alternative to stop mass shootings. (It’s the same thing he said a decade ago after another massacre.)

It’s probably not shocking to hear a Republican member of Congress reflexively claim that thoughts and prayers are the best (and only) solutions to the gun epidemic, but it’s still appalling when it happens today, when it’s abundantly clear God isn’t doing a damn thing to stop mass shootings.

(A definition of insanity, often attributed to Einstein, is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.)

You bring up a very good point in that last sentence.

Tots and Pears to Gohmert, the dumbest person in government, (all due respect to MTG)
