Dem senator criticizes post-shooting ‘prayers’

The Hill reports:

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) says people who pray for the victims of shootings should be asking for forgiveness for their inaction.

Murphy made the comments in a post on Twitter after reports of a mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., where authorities say at least 14 people were killed by as many as three gunmen.

Several GOP primary contenders quickly expressed their condolences for the victims and said they were praying for their families.

“Your ‘thoughts’ should be about steps to take to stop this carnage. Your ‘prayers’ should be for forgiveness if you do nothing – again,” Murphy tweeted on Wednesday evening.

Comrade Chris Murphy believes in a world in which only government workers own guns. No word yet on whether Comrade Murphy is bothered by that fact that Syed Farook worked for the government.
