House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., who was shot at Republican baseball practice during the summer in Alexandria, Va., said that his experience has only solidified his views concerning gun control.

“Inevitably questions about the Second Amendment are raised by what happened in Las Vegas,” Fox News’ Martha MacCallum said in an interview Tuesday, referring to the mass shooting there Sunday night. “It happens almost immediately. Have you, your experience of your own and what you saw in Las Vegas, has it changed how you feel about any of that?”

“I think it’s fortified it because first of all you’ve got to recognize that when there’s a tragedy like this, the first thing we should be thinking about is praying for the people who were injured and doing whatever we can to help them, to help law enforcement,” Scalise said. “We shouldn’t first be thinking of promoting our political agenda.”

Scalise has an A-plus rating from the National Rifle Association for his support of gun rights, according to his website.

“In this tragic moment, I encourage people across America to stand together in solidarity, and to support the Las Vegas community and all of those affected, especially by giving blood and encouraging others to do the same. In the face of unspeakable evil, our whole nation must respond with countless acts of kindness, warmth and generosity,” Scalise said in a statement.

    This is ridiculous. The guy had explosives at his home. If he couldn’t have had the guns do they really think he wouldn’t have blown up something and perhaps killed even more people? Liberals can’t think logically and use the brains that God gave them.

    When one is a lunatic bent on murder and destruction nothing can stop them unless you can see into the future and grab them before they go bonkers.
