Burchett does not see Congress doing anything to fix gun violence, because any role in Congress will only "mess it up." He does not condone background checks, because “you have criminals that are going to go around this, and that’s what they do." Tim Burchett is Rep. from Tennessee.
V commented: The same is true of every law...criminals ignore or go around them. By his reasoning we should not have any laws at all.
Burchett also said: "Repenting of your sins and having some sort of reform in this country seems to me to be the way we’re going to have to turn this thing around because we have some very sick, evil people doing some very vile things."
The Nashville shooter had no criminal record; she legally purchased 7 guns. Travis Reinking's father gave him the rifle he used in his mass shooting. Reinking owned 4 weapons. He had been treated for mental health problem. I am guessing "schizophrenic" due to hearing God's voice tell him to kill people.
Banning sale of military style weapons such as those used by these two in their mass shootings, would be a good place to start. Yes, criminals will be able to obtain them illegally. But would the Nashville shooter have been able to find one to buy illegally? The father was sentenced to 18 months in jail for handing over the rifle to his mentally disturbed son.
Better if Dad had never been able to purchase it. Do not know if he has a criminal record. The vast majority of citizens do not go around shooting and killing strangers. Yet Burchett things we are all sinners? He must be Christian. An example of Republican mentality?
