An ex-Republican congressman has condemned his former party for doing little on gun control in the wake of yet more mass shootings, calling ex-colleagues and their voters"constitutionally ignorant" regarding the Second Amendment.
Law enforcement agencies respond to an active shooter at a Walmart near Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas, August 3."It's their inaction on gun control, reasonable gun control measures. I include myself in that. Look, I tried to move the needle within the party and I failed, and it's important in this moment to acknowledge it," Jolly, who is now an independent, said.
"Emanuel AME in South Carolina, nothing. Go to Sandy Hook in Connecticut, nothing. The Jewish temple in Pittsburgh, nothing. The Jewish temple in San Diego, nothing. Sutherland Springs, evangelical church in Texas, nothing. Moreover, Jolly said those Republicans who believe the Second Amendment"was envisioned to protect gun rights in this moment of national tragedy, to allow carnage with weapons of war" are"fundamentally, constitutionally ignorant."
Wow.
NRA deadlier than isis
