Thoughts and prayers, nothing we can do,\u201d Todd said. \u201cNo law would have stopped this. The real problem is mental illness. If only the victims had been armed. More thoughts and prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd argued that the law\u2019s to blame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do we allow an 18-year-old, in this case, [the shooter], to buy assault rifles and accumulate more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition, all legally, mind you,\u201d Todd said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s guns, or climate change, or protecting our democracy, we no longer have a politics that can meet these crucial moments that we face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the host blamed Americans, lamenting that \u201cno member of Congress has been voted out of office for being too pro-gun. Not one!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil the majorities who claim they want tougher background checks and to get assault weapons off the street, vote like they mean it. We can expect to hear more calls for thoughts and prayers and that\u2019s it,\u201d Todd said.<\/p>\n<p>Todd\u2019s dismissal of the Second Amendment came after filmmaker Michael Moore said \u201cWe need a moratorium on gun sales \u2026 time to repeal the Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe won\u2019t acknowledge that we are a violent people, to begin with,\u201d Moore <a href=\"https:\/\/americanwirenews.com\/michael-moore-says-quiet-part-out-loud-we-need-moratorium-on-gun-sales-time-to-repeal-the-2a\/?utm_source=dlvr.it&#038;utm_medium=twitter\">said<\/a> on MNBC. \u201cThis country was birthed in violence with the genocide of the native people at the barrel of a gun. This country was built on the backs of slaves with a gun to their backs to build this country into the country that we got to have. We don\u2019t want to acknowledge our two original sins here that have a gun behind the ability for us to become who we became.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need a moratorium, perhaps, on gun sales. Who will say on this network or any other network in the next few days it\u2019s time to repeal the Second Amendment? Oh, you can\u2019t say that. Well, why not? Why not?\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
