Clearwater Mayor Geogre Cretekos made national news this week after calling for an “assault” (I don’t know what this means) weapons ban of “military style” (scary looking) weapons and high capacity magazines because he went to church and prayed and it didn’t work.
“I’ve gone to church, I’ve prayed, My prayers aren’t working.”
That’s a brave stance and one that usually comes from someone who has never bothered to learn more about this style of rifle but instead has a knee jerk reaction based on emotion. Mass shootings are in the news constantly and you would think that violence was on the rise, it’s not but it is reported on more because these types of stories get clicks and clicks equal ad-revenue.
It could also be that God isn’t listening or perhaps isn’t there at all. Maybe it’s because you’re in Clearwater and you’re praying to the wrong God. Clearwater, as we all know answers to the mighty Xenu, the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy". Hell, maybe try Buddha or something while you’re at it. One of them is bound to hit and all our problems will be solved and we will live in peace and harmony forever without “assault” weapons (or until Xenu comes back to enslave us).
