People Fed Up With ‘Thoughts And Prayers’ Demand Action After Texas Church Massacre

They were in a church that was full of prayers. They need a government who will enact common sense gun laws. #GunControlNow https://t.co/M1wTIe4G01

thoughts and prayers for people who were mowed down in a church sounds especially hollow.

They were in church. They had the prayers shot right out of them. Maybe try something else.

“Thoughts and prayers” again, @realDonaldTrump, idiot?

At this point, "thoughts and prayers" just means "shut up and take it"

The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of shit. https://t.co/iGHxPrYrLN

They were already in a church, Paul. It’s almost like prayers do absolutely nothing and actual reform is needed. https://t.co/hGWpODfULs

To all those asking for thoughts and prayers for the victims in #churchshooting , it seems that your direct line to God is not working.

Terror attack that kills 6 gets travel bans same day; Deadliest mass shooting & deadliest church shooting ever get prayers & 2 soon to talk

After a mass shooting in a church, the phrase "thoughts and prayers" from the mouths of useless politicians becomes even more asinine.

We need more than prayers @RepStevePearce. Today’s victims were at church praying. We need sensible gun regulation and a ban on AR15 weapons https://t.co/iQRH9pms29

Prayers can't bring back the people who were taken from us at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, TX.

We need laws enacted now! pic.twitter.com/d6EkXB7xhd

Clearly your prayers aren't working if a mass shooting can take place in a church. Maybe we can try a legislative solution now?#GunControl

Prayers? What the fuck do you think they were doing in church, playing Connect Four? https://t.co/6z7aNxsU06

You have a lot of damn gall to send your prayers to people shot in a church. You could actually do something. You should be ashamed.

Shooting happened at a church. I don’t think lack of prayers was the core issue.

Irony is officially dead when Republicans offer prayers for people who are gunned down while in a church praying.

You're telling me these people were in a CHURCH -- the EPICENTER of thoughts & prayers -- and they STILL weren't safe from guns?

— Megan Amram (@meganamram) November 5, 2017

They were in a *church*. Prayers are not helpful; action is. https://t.co/6v2B78fdxD

Bruh, they were in CHURCH. They HAD prayers. How about some gun control legislation, instead? https://t.co/qHLa7MQjmH

The victims were literally in a church. Your prayers are worthless. You need to actually do something. But you’re afraid of the @nra. https://t.co/g1fwpBtxNn
