It’s the usual argument from these NRA gun-loving Republicans. Adding more guns to the equation will result in less gun violence. They said it when there was a mass shooting in a Colorado movie theater, they said it when there was a mass shooting at an elementary school in Connecticut, they said it when there was a mass shooting at a church in South Carolina and now that there’s yet another shooting at another theater in Louisiana, they’re calling for more guns again!
On Sunday, one of the Republican’s professional presidential candidate Rick Perry, went on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday and proclaimed their usual mantra – if there were more people with guns in the movie theater in Lafayette Louisiana, then the mentally deranged man who opened fire last week killing two movie goers and then killing himself, would have never happened.
“I think that it makes a lot of sense to send a message across this country,” Perry said. “If we believe in the Second Amendment, and we believe in people’s right to protect themselves and defend themselves, and their families.”
He added,
“I believe that, with all my heart, that if you have the citizens who are well trained, and particularly in these places that are considered to be gun-free zones, that we can stop that type of activity, or stop it before there’s as many people that are impacted as what we saw in Lafayette.”
Meanwhile, the Republican governor in the state where the last shooting occurred, Bobby Jindal, refused to admit that guns or the lack of adequate gun laws could have contributed to the last shooting in his state. “There will be an absolute appropriate time for us to talk about policies and politics,” Jindal says, as he secures the approval of the NRA in his quest to become president.
