As has happened so many times in the past several years, the Texas church shooting, in Sutherland Springs on November 5th, has set off a series of political responses, with opposing sides calling for either more gun control, or more guns. Prominent political figures added their own opinions, with many turning to social media to issue statements.
While some kept it simple, with Texas Governor Greg Abbot, and former Texas Governor Rick Perry, for example, focusing initial statements on prayers and appreciation of law enforcement, others dug in. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee was quick to point out that the church shooter was purported to be a ‘liberal atheist’ and that he had been stopped (albeit, after fleeing the scene) by a Christian member of the NRA.
