Discussion for article #237657
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Friday expressed his sorrow for
victims of the Wednesday shooting at a Charleston church, but said that
gun control laws could not have prevented the attack.
DING, DING, DING, DING!!! We have a winner! Laws restricting gun access? Well that wouldnât have helped at all! I mean, everyone should have the GOD GIVEN RIGHT to be provided with the tools to be a mass murderer! To say otherwise would be un-American!

God, his whole statement is just mind boggling.

Hey, Gov! Hereâs how you get your mind around this type of mass murder. Itâs simply Republican racist rantings coming home to roost!

So we canât fix some things because we canât fix everything. What leadership. As Jon Stewart correctly and in somber fashion noted last night:
ââŚonce again that we have to peer into the abyss of the depraved violence that we do to each other and the nexus of a just gaping racial wound that will not heal yet we pretend doesnât exist. Iâm confident though that by acknowledging it, by staring into that and seeing it for what it is, we still wonât do jack shit. Yeah. Thatâs us.â

BS, CorpulentChristie
Just another asshat Republican refusing to take responsibility for their actions against gun control that leads to tragedies like this.

But an ounce of prevention is worth 400 pounds of governor.

Wow, in less than a decade national Republicans have gone from arguing that only a strong federal government can protect us from terrorism to now arguing that the government canât do anything to prevent terrorist attacks.
Maybe Iâm just not clear on the Republican logic. Maybe the government can protect us from certain types of terrorists but not others? Or the government can protect against terrorists with bombs but not those with guns? Or possibly the government can protect us from terrorism as long as the military industrial complex profits, but they canât protect us from terrorism if it even slightly threatens the profits of the gun industry?

âThis type of conduct is something that only our display of our own love and good faith thatâs in our heart can change. Laws canât change this,â
I totally agree and suggest you get the GOP to denounce the people who disagree. That would be a great step forward.
Fuck You you pandering COWARD.
If the shooter had not been a member of the BASE OF YOUR PARTY you would be all over it.
asshole.

Restricting gun sales and possession of guns can never ever change anything, everâŚsays the right-wing NRA-genuflecting gas bag.
âThis type of conduct is something that only our display of our own love
and good faith thatâs in our heart can change. Laws canât change this,â
Outside of the dead, we donât even know what âTHISâ is. Yet Governor Fatso is totally convinced of our helplessness to do anything about it?
âOnly the goodwill and the love of the American people can let those folks know that that act was unacceptable, disgraceful, that we need to do more to show that we love each other.â
Chris, don't forget rainbows, unicorns and a newborn puppy licking your face.

Well there you have it. The fact that all the GOPers are in perfect lockstep on the events of Charleston not being a racial issue and being something that âlaws canât changeâ clearly shows they all got the same memo. It is unconscionable and far too much of a coincidence that not even one GOPer has come out and said this was a crime against race (as the murderer himself said!). They are in full âprotect our racist base!â mode.

I guess itâs officially a lost cause.
+100. Thank you.
As someone else correctly pointed out, if killing 20 white children isnât enough to spark a change, then certainly killing 9 black people isnât going to do it.
