Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.

I have been saying another school shooting and still no changes to gun laws. All these MAGA fools can say is it’s a mental health issue, or they’re criminals they will ignore the law, or now they’re with Jesus I’m sick of it They don’t want any change They don’t care.

The problem is the gun culture in the United States. People own guns because they feel it gives them freedom, but at the same time, gun violence makes them less free. It's a real tragedy, because it's their kids who ultimately pay the price.

When the GOP wants to give massive tax breaks to the rich, they dont pray for the tax breaks; they pass legislation. When the GOP wants to restrict civil rights of women & minorities, they dont pray for these; they pass legislation. Seems like they don't really think "thoughts & prayers" work.

If any of them wanted to do something other than use it as a wedge issue for elections they would have introduced a constitutional amendment decades ago which would be the only legal manner of addressing gun ownership. But as Dems like to say about reps I guess they don’t really care.

Prayers are not for the benefit of the victims. They are merely an instrument to make those praying feel better about themselves. Praying is a wholly selfish act whose only purpose is to signal pious devotion to others. Worse, it means that nothing changes because it it all delegated to God.

The 2nd Amendment is a firearms regulation amendment. In America it is constitutional to regulate firearms. In America it is constitutional to restrict private ownership of automatic and semi-automatic firearms. In America it is constitutional to ban those firearms from private ownership.
