Most of the time killers are mentally unhinged, had a history of violence, known by law enforcement to be troublemakers etc. So yes Jim Himes is 100% correct to say <i>\u201cThere will be a moment of silence, people will wish everybody thoughts and prayers &#8230; and then the Congress of the United States will do absolutely nothing\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-video\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n\u201cNot a damn thing.

Criminals, evil doers and terrorists carry on business as usual. For the record this monster who shot up Stoneman Douglas High School was looking up how to build a bomb. Take all the guns away today and I guarantee tomorrow monsters will be using bombs or cars and trucks like they have been doing.<\/p>\n<p>In the short-term here&#8217;s what could&#8217;ve been done. The school who KNEW the killer was a problem should&#8217;ve notified police and then the blame is on them. Who let him back in school? Let&#8217;s blame that person and hold them accountable. The gun is not the problem it&#8217;s the individual as it is every single time. More gun control will lead to higher body counts, bank on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, Rep Himes you are CORRECT.
