The cacophony of gun control advocates has crescendoed on social media to promote a pet policy, attack the NRA, or condemn gun owners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you sleep tonight, colleagues, when the price of gun lobby goodwill is this \u2014 blood soaked church and school floors, city streets,\u201d said U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who introduced a universal background check bill last month.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., turned his attention to the NRA and included a not-so-subtle plug for the 2018 midterm elections. &#8220;Screw the @NRA &amp; can you help Dems take back the House,&#8221; he tweeted.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/best-way-conceal-carry-two-one-one-none\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"obama-calls-gun-control-less-6-hours-texas-shooting\" title=\"Obama Calls for Gun Control Less than 6 Hours after Texas Shooting\">The Best Way to Conceal Carry \u2014 Two is One and One is None<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., took a similar tack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many more people must die at churches or concerts or schools before we stop letting the @NRA control this country&#8217;s gun policies?\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called on Congress to use their legislative authority to ensure that nothing bad ever happens again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a solemn obligation to the victims of Sutherland Springs, Las Vegas, Orlando, Newtown and the many tragic shootings that occur each day to respond not only with prayer and unwavering love, but with action,\u201d she said. \u201cMuch more needs to be done in the Congress to ensure that no other family is forced to endure such an unimaginable tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The anti-gun organizations echoed their brethren in Congress, complaining that legislators have failed to use their power to prevent mass-casualty events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is time for every single American to get off the sidelines and demand our lawmakers reject the NRA, which has far too much influence over our gun laws,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/momsdemandaction.org\/in-the-news\/texas-moms-demand-action-everytown-respond-to-breaking-news-of-mass-shooting-at-church-in-sutherland-springs\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"obama-calls-gun-control-less-6-hours-texas-shooting\" title=\"Obama Calls for Gun Control Less than 6 Hours after Texas Shooting\">said\u00a0<\/a>Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradycampaign.org\/press-room\/mass-shooting-in-a-texas-church\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"obama-calls-gun-control-less-6-hours-texas-shooting\" title=\"Obama Calls for Gun Control Less than 6 Hours after Texas Shooting\">Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence<\/a> followed suit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter every horrific event, thoughts and prayers are offered, but action is not,\u201d the org complained in a statement. \u201cNow is the time for citizens to stand up, hold our elected officials accountable and demand changes to ensure dangerous people do not have ready access to guns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amidst all the virtue-signaling, however, Pelosi and her ilk conveniently fail to mention the hero who shot the shooter and forced him to leave the premises.
