Isn't it funny how Republicans don't have any trouble "helping God" by passing laws to uphold white supremacy, the persecution of LGBTQ people, the religious subjugation of women, etc?

But when it comes to restricting the ownership of military-style assault weapons that right-wing extremists are increasingly using to mow down crowds in public — well then, forget about helping God. He'll take care of things.

Of course, this rhetoric is cynical. These politicians well understand that the people who WANT to own weapons designed to kill dozens of people in moments are almost all conservative Christians.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to Christian values of love and gentleness?

I guess AR-15s are more fun, eh?

And people wonder why more and more Americans are turning away from Christianity.
