I thought they were okay with guns. When 26 children were murdered at their elementary school, they may have sent thoughts and prayers, but that’s all they did. Guess they thought that children were expendable, just collateral damage in their quest to keep their second amendment rights. Well thoughts and prayers do not keep people safe from people intent on killing other people. Now that it’s one of their own radicals that is murdered, maybe they are rethinking it, but I doubt it.
