Florida state senator: Only thoughts and prayers will stop evil behind shootings [View all]
Source: MSN/The Hill
A Florida state senator said the only thing that is going to stop "the evil" behind mass shootings is to send "thoughts and prayers."
During a debate on a proposed assault weapons ban in the Florida legislature on Saturday, state Sen. Kelli Stargel (R) said she finds it offensive when people tell her that the kind words are not enough to stop mass shootings.
"When we say 'thoughts and prayers,' it's frowned upon. And I take real offense at that because thoughts and prayers are really the only thing that's gonna stop the evil from within the individual who is taking up their arms to do this kind of a massacre."
It's not the weapon that matters, Stargel said, but rather "the evil from within" that causes people to commit heinous crimes.
