"What about that crazed gunman in Maine, Mr. Speaker?"
A simple enough question, with several straightforward, human-sounding answers on tap. "We are trusting our law enforcement agents to resolve
this situation." Or "As a mental patient, Card should not have had access
to a mass-murder weapon." Or "The human cost of the inane SCOTUS
decision to ignore the intent of the Second Amendment will haunt us forever."
But nooooooooo. Johnson's reply was "Let's all pray a lot." Don't act, don't think, don't engage your humanity; just "pray".
What a buffoon.

**Yep. Rabid, 2nd Amendment defenders are fucking arseholes and morons.
They only care about their toys and act like children when someone
suggests that unrestricted ownership of deadly weapons can be a bad thing.
It is WAY past time that the US Constitution was re-examined and altered
to reflect the realities of the 21st century.
For example:
When the 2nd was written:
* Re-load times of firearms was measured in tens of seconds (at best),
not milliseconds, like they are today.
* Accuracy for most firearms was poor.
* Hitting power was far lower, than for modern firearms.
* There were slaves and pissed off natives to fight off on a daily basis.
* There was no refrigeration to keep meat for very long.
* There were no supermarkets, so meat had to be obtained the hard way.
* Guns were way more expensive and difficult to obtain than today.
* The US was still dealing with a vicious colonial power (England).
I suspect that, if the framers of the Constitution were to examine the situation today, they may well have written things a little differently.

We would have the right to own a refrigerator to store our meat and also
the right to own a gas range to properly cook it
