Another week, another mass shooting. This time, in Thousand Oaks California where 12 people fell to a gunman. Reporters are interviewing members of Congress to find out if there anything anyone can do to reduce the senseless deaths of innocent Americans.
Marsha Blackburn is one of these congressional members. Blackburn recently won the opportunity to represent the people of Tennessee, was interviewed on Fox News today and asked about the mass-shooting. And sticking true to form, the Republican began her answer not talking about the lost souls, but instead about protecting the NRA and the 2nd Amendment.
“What we do is say how do make certain that we protect the 2nd Amendment.” Blackburn then went on to talk about mental health, as if mentally challenged individuals are the only ones committing mass murder in this country.
And if you thought Blackburn mentioned anything about guns or the need to have sensible background checks for people buying guns, you would, of course, be wrong.
But, you already know that.
One thing is sure. Republicans will continue protecting the NRA and guns over the lives of American citizens, as we wait for the next mass shooting.
