GOP Lawmakers Dodge Gun Reform Questions After Nashville Shooting

CNN asked several GOP members of Congress, including Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Rep. Andy Ogles, who represent the district where The Covenant School is located, about gun reform in the wake of yesterday’s mass shooting.

None of them seemed to want to give straight answers.

“Let’s not get into politics” - a man Floridians voted to be their politician

[LeAFyromster]

So.... do nothing because we dont care about poor people dying. Rich people have security details and private education.

"let's not get into politics"

That's rich coming from a Politician

[IrishMatty]

How dare you ask a politician about politics!

[timmylittle]

Any person that goes and kills kids on purpose is a sick twisted individual.

Let’s see what the 2nd amendment says: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Funny how the “well regulated militia” part is summarily ignored.

I guess making choice for people's lives is nothing more important than choosing his suit color for that law maker.

Let’s not talk politics says the politician

[OneBDennis]

If you want a gun cool, but there should be laws in place a vetting process🤷🏽‍♂️. Some people just aren’t qualified to own a gun.

[RedBeard]

I'm so tired of politicians blaming mental health issues.

[NBA-LejonBrames]

"My condolences to the families" yea right buddy

[bradneubauer]

Why not address firearms and mental health?

[Dan]

Let's talk about the real issue in this country.
Representative Thomas Massie was in a cross talk with Jamie Raskin in a Committee hearing one time, and Thomas Massie from Kentucky said shotguns were much more powerful than AR-15 and why aren't we trying to ban shotguns?
My question to representative fascist Thomas Massie is, if shotguns are the most powerful long guns, why do every militia fascist carry AR-15s?

[Braun]

Deviate, avoid politics and give prayer and thoughts.

[tonyray]

No compassion. Hope his family doesn’t become a victim. You never realize anything until it happens to you

[peterg]

It’s an amendment. Meaning it can be changed.

[donaldrayprine]

Andy Ogles talking about mental health that's a hoot, he lied about everything

[seper]

Anyone with more than a hand gun should seek professional mental health help.

[walterjohnson]

Literally the stupidest comment this year I have heard from a politician, “ let’s not get into politics.” From a politician . Wonder if he would feel this way if it was his child? Smh

[thomasbowers]

Sorry to be Captain obvious here, but mental health can’t really kill others but a gun can.
