Scalise: The Answer To School Shootings Is Prayer

“The first thing in any kind of tragedy I do is I pray. I pray for the victims. I pray for their families. I really get angry when I see people trying to politicize it for their own personal agenda, especially when we don’t even know the facts. We’ve talked about things that we can do, and it just seems like on the other side, all they want to do is take guns away from law abiding citizens, before they even know the facts. The first thing they talk about is taking guns away from law abiding citizens. And that’s not the answer, by the way. So why don’t we number one, keep those families in our prayers.” – House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who himself nearly died in a mass shooting.

Question: There was another terrible school shooting yesterday.. Is there anything Congress should be doing?
