<\/a><\/p>\nThe lede, “God isn’t fixing this: As latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards who could truly end scourge continue to hide behind meaningless platitudes<\/a>:<\/p>\n Prayers aren\u2019t working.<\/span> In addition to the Daily News<\/i>‘ magnificent statement on Republicans resort to religious hypocrisy as an alternative to action.<\/p>\n I would like to add three bits of information to provide some perspective.<\/p>\n First, and second, there were two other<\/b> mass shootings that day, in Savannah, GA and Houston, TX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
<\/span> White House hopefuls on the Democratic side of the aisle called for stricter gun laws in the wake of the shooting in San Bernardino that left at least 14 dead.<\/span>
<\/span> But after yet another mass shooting in America, GOP presidential contenders were conspicuously silent on the issue of gun control.<\/span>
<\/span> Instead, the Republicans were preaching about prayer.<\/span>
<\/span> \u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span>
<\/span> Democrats \u2014 even those not running for office \u2014 slammed the GOP presidential candidates for offering prayers instead of action.<\/span>
<\/span> \u201cYour \u2018thoughts\u2019 should be about steps to take to stop this carnage,\u201d Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) posted on Twitter. \u201cYour \u2018prayers\u2019 should be for forgiveness if you do nothing \u2014 again.\u201d<\/span>
<\/span> Some critics accused Murphy of religious insensitivity, but he didn\u2019t waver in a statement later Wednesday.<\/span>
<\/span> \u201cMy heart aches for the people of San Bernardino,\u201d he said. \u201cI cannot express the profound sadness I feel each time a new community grieves and endures the same pain that brought Newtown to its knees three years ago this month.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
