GOP Rep Blames Mass Shootings On Lack Of Jesus

April 30, 2023 Mass Shootings, Republicans

The Huffington Post reports:

CNN’s Jim Acosta questioned Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) on Saturday over why he can’t “get together with the Democrats and get it done” in response to acts of gun violence across the country. Acosta played a clip of the Tennessee Republican’s “we’re not going to fix it” response to gun violence after three children and three adults died in a school shooting in his state last month.

“I was probably speaking more from a Christian perspective, I also went on to say we need real revival in this country,” Burchett said of his past statement. “There’s Christianity in other countries and they don’t have mass shootings,” Acosta noted. ″Well they don’t have our freedom, either, they don’t have the Second Amendment,” replied the Republican, who warned about the use of 3D printers to make guns.
