Former President Trump addressed the NRA convention and stated that America has a spiritual problem rather than a gun problem, but Rep. Nancy Mace disagrees.

GALLAGHER: Trump addressed the NRA convention over the weekend and he said something pretty simple. Something we’ve been saying all along. Something we said about the state of America in 2023. This is why millions of people appreciate, respect, and admire Donald J Trump.

TRUMP: Our country has been chock full of guns for centuries and there was no talk of massacres of school children until around the year 2000. That is when it really started. This is not a gun problem. This is a mental health problem. This is a social problem. This is a cultural problem. This is a spiritual problem.

GALLAGHER: Isn’t he right? Of course this is a spiritual problem. Of course we have mentally ill people, but to that point I would maintain we have had mentally ill people for as long as we’ve been on the planet. I don’t know that there is a new mental health crisis in America. I know there is a spiritual crisis in America, but wouldn’t a Republican congresswoman from South Carolina agree with what Trump said? Shouldn’t she agree that it isn’t a gun problem? To Nancy Mace the South Carolina Republican congresswoman who was a guest with Shannon Bream yesterday on Fox News Sunday, she seems to suggest that it is a gun problem.

MACE: 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 in silence, some sort of Amber Alert, for example, to let the community know there’s been a shooting. Strengthening our background checks is something that the vast majority of Americans support. Hardening our schools, churches and synagogues so that there is deterrence so that when a shooter or potential mass shooter enters a place that they know that maybe they’re not going to make it through because there’s bulletproof doors, bulletproof windows, you know, those kinds of common sense things are all things that every American on either side of the aisle can get behind. But yet every time there’s a mass shooting and they’re increasing every year, every week, we just we don’t say anything, want to bury our heads in the sand and hope that it goes away. But guess what? It’s not going away. We’ve not learned anything from the midterm elections if we’re going to sit here on our hands silently, not offering any type of solution to reduce gun violence in our country.
