Mo Brooks: Moral decline, single parenting are factors in mass shootings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks attributed mass shootings to a decline in moral values, singling out single-parent families as a major factor in the phenomenon.

In a lengthy segment with host Sandra Smith, Brooks positioned himself as a staunch defender of unfettered gun rights, suggested that current mental health laws are adequate to identify individuals who might present a threat to public safety and maintained that in the race for an open Senate seat he is the candidate with an established track record of beating Democrats.

Brooks recently came in second to Katie Britt in the Republican primary for the seat being vacated by Richard Shelby. While Smith did give Brooks time to make his case on that race, the bulk of the show focused on the aftermath of the recent school shooting in Texas.

When Smith asked if Brooks would support any changes to gun laws currently on the books, he strongly implied the answer was no.

8. How out of touch is this guy?

"Brooks positioned himself as a staunch defender of unfettered gun rights, suggested that current mental health laws are adequate to identify individuals who might present a threat to public safety." Obviously those current mental health laws didn't identify or stop the Robb school killer, though he was able to get his hands on two semi-automatic rifles without paying for them.
