“Better to keep one’s mouth shut and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt.” What an insensitive moron.
Its only because he’s a REPUBLICAN. If he was a Democrat, ha ha, sorry, “misspoke”.
Undoubtedly insensitive, but 100% right: the only way to defend good people from villains is to arm the good people. Even more insensitive is to use the tragedy to push the statist agenda of banning firearms: supposedly to magically disarm the criminals who already disregard other laws, while in truth seeking complete control of government over the backbone citizenry of this country.
