Perhaps one of you would care to list all of the legislation that Ryan has authored or supported which would actually have an impact on this particular problem - which is, after all, what we're talking about here.
Ok, my bad.
In his case, I don't think it's an either/or thing. He's a Republican politician, so he's going to be for gun ownership rights. In other words, he's not substituting prayer for doing something politically. He wouldnt have done anything anyway.
That's kind of the point. He's not doing shit to solve the problem.
Being for gun ownership rights doesn't mean he can't do anything about it. He could, for example, champion something to do with treatment for mental illness. What do you figure the odds of that are? In addition lots of people who are for gun ownership rights want gun control tightened up.
