Democrat Posts Obscene Message on ‘Thoughts and Prayers,’ Calls for Gun Control

A top Democratic lawmaker in Michigan derided offering “thoughts and prayers” while pushing stricter gun regulations after a shooting at Michigan State University on Monday.

State Rep. Ranjeev Puri, the majority whip in Michigan’s Democrat-controlled House, issued a statement just after midnight on Tuesday after, according to police, a 43-year-old gunman killed three students and wounded five more. The suspected gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

“Today, we begin to collectively heal from the horrific events which transpired, tomorrow we work,” Puri said in his early morning post on social media. “My official statement regarding the Michigan State University shooting is below: F*** your thoughts and prayers.”

In a longer statement attached to the post, Puri called thoughts and prayers “meaningless” without “action and change” before calling for stricter restrictions on firearms.

“What happened in East Lansing is unfortunately far too common,” Puri said. “Going to school in America, whether it’s pre-school or college, means risking your life every day to the threat of a mass shooting. Yet all we have offered up are empty solutions – traumatizing active shooter drills and bulletproof backpacks.” (Read more from “Democrat Posts Obscene Message on ‘Thoughts and Prayers,’ Calls for Gun Control” HERE)
