GOP Rep. Nancy Mace blasts Republicans for 'silence' on gun violence, 'extreme' abortion stances

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

We need more pragmatic centrists in Congress like Nancy Mace. I've said before that the Republican Party could easily be the dominant party in this country if they would simply amplify the issues that people care about most and provide common sense solutions to them that are palatable to the majority. Instead, they keep focusing on cultural social issues like drag queens, banning books in school, regressive abortion bans, and a steadfast refusal to adapt their stance to increasing violence involving firearms.

This is why they are losing and the Democrats are winning on these issues.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., on Sunday bucked the majority of her Republican colleagues in Congress, calling on fellow GOP lawmakers to “no longer be silent” on gun violence and to find a middle ground on abortion rights.

"Every mass shooting, there’s just silence, and prayers are offered, Easter baskets are offered, but no real solutions," Mace on "Fox News Sunday."

The GOP lawmaker said she and her children were recently near a mass shooting in South Carolina.

“Republicans can no longer be silent on this issue. And it’s not about the Second Amendment. There are plenty of things that we can be doing besides offering prayers and silence," Mace said.

Potential solutions could include "some sort of Amber Alert, for example, to let the community know there’s been a shooting," she said. "Strengthening our background checks is something that the vast majority of Americans support.”

Guns are violent? Oh wait, no it's human who are violent.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Humans are violent. Why do we let violent humans have access to guns?

 

[Synthaholic]

Doesn't sound like much of a "blast".

We are waiting for all of the Democratic moderates to show up.

Common sense solutions, such as what? The Democrat controlled media focuses on "gun violence" while IGNORING root cause. Drugs, gangs, and mental illness. The media also helps CREATE the next mass shooter who wants to copycat the last mass shooter because of all the attention he got.

Guns kill. Republicans are silent. SOS.

She should just tell the truth.

The worst part is that White homicide rate is dropping like a rock, even with the government merging us with Hispanics now.

The negros are increasing their "market share" of homicides at break neck speeds.

Yes, don't do anything to prevent it, just let folks know faster that people are being murdered.

Her polls must not look good.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

So, in other words, she is blaming republicans for gun deaths, the large number of which are committed by the Democrat base, and on the other hand, she blames Republicans because they seek to prevent intentional death that also strikes at a high rate among the Democrat base.

That doesn't sound moderate to me. It merely sounds hypocritical.

Democrat and Moderate stopped belonging in the same sentence many decades ago.

Never heard of her but a quick search on her screams RINO

Ms Mace has the gunners by the balls and be squeezing hard.

I'd be curious to see what new law she's proposing.

She sorta left that out....

There are drugs, gangs and mental illness in other countries. And yet, not close to the same gun violence.

Why is that?
