Flipping Thoughts And Prayers

     “Those are people that don’t believe in an almighty God who is absolutely in control of our lives,”

“Today we should be focused on the families. Prayers are important,” 

     “Prayer is powerful in the lives of those people who are devastated right now.”- Rep. Keith Self , Tx.

       Prayer is powerful. I agree. However, the prayers from Republican lawmakers are not genuine. "Thoughts and prayers" are mere words and nothing more coming from the mouths of lawmakers who have the power to attempt to stop mass shootings and yet they simply do nothing.  With over 200 mass shootings to date, there have been more mass shootings in 2023 than days . Over 200 mass shootings is unacceptable! Almost 15,000 people dying due to mass shootings is unacceptable! Do you know what's even more unacceptable? Our lawmakers doing nothing to stop mass shootings is not only unacceptable, but it is unforgivable!

       It is unforgivable that Republicans in office continue to spew their flipping "thoughts and prayers' rhetoric when they continue to do nothing. Republicans will continue to do nothing as long as the NRA and gun manufacturers continue to shell out money in support of Republican do nothing politicians. Since the Sandy Hook mass shooting in 2012 that killed 26 people, 20 of who were children the NRA  has shelled out over 100 million dollars to aid Republicans . The NRA backs those who will continue to support their agenda of placing guns in the hands of every sane and insane American. That said, Republicans on the receiving end of big handouts from the NRA can say the prayers are powerful but those prayers are worth nothing to all those who have lost their lives and all those who have lost loved ones in a mass shooting or gun violence. 

   I as an American am disgusted with Republican lawmakers who dare say that people need to pray and believe in God. I do believe in God and prayer. Millions of Americans also believe in God and prayer, but at the end of the day, the fault of these mass shootings falls on those in Washington who do NOTHING to attempt to stop mass shootings. I and millions of Americans are praying. Oh believe you me we are praying. We are praying that those politicians who can write a bill banning assault weapons will write the much needed bill. We are praying that our politicians will have compassion for those who have had to bury or cremate a loved one who was lost in a mass shooting. Those are the prayers Americans are now saying, because prayers can not help those who have already lost their lives or loved ones in a mass shooting. 

   Sadly, all the thoughts and prayers can not bring back those who have lost their lives. Prayers can not help if we do not help ourselves. We the people are the only ones who can do something, but we the people are simply not enough. We the people are not enough as long as Americans continue electing men and women who care more about their wallets and their being elected than saving lives. With the majority of Americans supporting a bill banning assault weapons that were made to kill as many people as possible in as short a tine as possible, it is incomprehensible that politicians would not take action and write the much needed bill along with more extensive background checks. Unfortunately, as so it would seem Republicans simply do not care about saving lives and they will continue to prove that they do not care about saving lives as long as they do nothing. Most employees who do nothing lose their jobs, and it's time these publicly elected officials lose their jobs! Thoughts and prayers are needed indeed, and if those thoughts and prayers are not effective in our politicians banning assault weapons, then I pray Americans will stand up and vote politicians doing nothing to save lives out of office once and for all ! Are thoughts and prayers, needed?  Yes, they are needed indeed.
