Long replied that there had been a Zoom called on the Senate side of the debate that yielded little. He said gun control isnt the solution.
Unfortunately, theyre trying to blame inanimate objects for all of these tragedies, and theres so many things that can be done, he said, claiming that schools could be better designed to prevent mass death.

Rep. Billy Long (R-MO) blames gun violence on abortion: "Something has happened to our society. I go back to abortion, when we decided it was okay to murder kids in their mothers' wombs. Life has no value to a lot of these folks."
Emphasis mine.
Because of course 🧐

(10,909 posts)1. Has this literal asswipe voted against the ACA in every way possible?
Almost certainly yes. They just don't give a fat f**k about post-birth life.
Against any and every kind of gun regulation?
Almost certainly yes.
Against a bill to ease the infant formula shortage?
Almost certainly yes. Infants are post-birth lives.

You favor guns over human life. Proof positive is your love for guns over people.
I go back to abortion as none of your business and plays no part in your Pro-Deaths Party fetish for guns.
If you valued lives as much as guns instead of your fetish with the fetus we would be better off without you and your Pro-Death Party.
LIFE HAS NO VALUE IN YOUR PARTY, you just refuse to accept it and instead embrace it.
