Does Pence realize that those who commit mass shootings are usually on a suicide mission? They want to die. Giving out expedited death penalties isn’t going to deter anything.
You’re right, but Pence doesn’t seem to realize many of the people in the crowds he speaks to literally wanted him dead on January 6th, 2021. I wouldn’t say thinking coherently is one of his strengths.
It has been proven many times, serial killers or mass killers find no deference by the threat of a death penalty. An expedited death penalty is more of a budget savings for the State vs deferring or reducing such killers.
Sure, but nobody speaking at an NRA convention is bringing up mass shootings to explain fiscal policy. Considering the context, this was likely a delusional appeal to the emotions his audience.
Baffling that a professed Christian would advocate a quicker death penalty as a solution for gun violence. Killing leads to killing. WWJD?
Read the Bible carefully. Jesus doesn’t preach for or against the death penalty for taking another human being’s life. Obviously, he didn’t use that reasoning when he was arrested. Of course he knew to complete his ministry, he had to die. The Old Testament and just about every other religious text does justify taking a life for someone that takes a life. The notion of living by the sword and dying by the sword was still respected, even in the New Testament.
The trouble with Pence is that he tries to walk right on top of the fence and won’t fully commit to anything. I started losing faith in Pence when he backed down on his support for protecting small businesses for frivolous lawsuits by LGBTQ folks. Whether he, or that law was right was not the issue. He said he supported it but when he had his feet put to the fire, he caved. You have to have principles and then stick to them.
The Republicans never have a plan for what to do in chaotic aftermath of getting what they want.
More death…good one Mikey… Isn’t there enough already? Oh, and for Governor Eric, those low taxes and high surpluses, mean less dollars for education and teachers, who are expected to protect our children. And, for the guy with a French name selling his soul to the devil, and a misogynistic, loser and user, that we suffered for 4 years, and still suffer, his aftermath of treason, get lost, good riddance and goodbye.
Remember, every day that the Trump family is in the mix is another day of regress, and another day that children will be terrified, another day they will die. The assault rifles that the French-named guy supports, AR-15s, M-16s or AK-47 Kalashnikovs that MT Greene promotes, were all designed to kill human beings at war. I faced the AK-47 and the DP-27 Machine gun in the Vietnam War. What fear, innocent children and adults experience when facing these types of weapons, must be a terror they never imagined.
Look at what we have become. We, as Americans and human beings are tghe only ones who can end it.
Marc, you nailed it with this comment.
Brilliant. Why don’t you add fines too? That will really dissuade someone hell bent on dying by bullet fire; be it by police or their own.
Once again, another useless solution to pretend that his party actually cares and are willing to do something about mass shootings. Since we dont require licenses or permits, why dont we just make everybody who buys an automatic weapon and/or high capacity magazine just promise not to use them for mass homicide. Problem solved. I wonder, since they dont allow guns in many meerings held at the covention, what are they afraid of?
Looks like I’ll be voting for Democrats again in 2024. They understand that “the right to live” means the 2nd Amendment is not absolute, that there can be restrictions on who can own firearms and that some types of firearms can be prohibited.

As the great Stephen Sondheim wrote, “ Children will listen”
Thoughts and prayers, Mr.Pence.

Republicans claim to be pro-life and pro-gun . Why do they not realize a gun is just another life abortion tool .
I’m totally baffled…if they didn’t have access to automatic weapons, then Pence wouldn’t have to worry about it. The 2nd amendment was referring to muskets because that’s all there was then. Automatic weapons are the big issue. But when we have a governor who says you don’t need a permit in Indiana…there is a BIG disconnect. They need to go to meet with the parents of the dead children, or the family members who are missing their loved one. It is an oxymoron to say “I’m pro-life when you let anyone have access to a gun and don’t do anything about it.
