Nikki Haley Says Focusing on Gun Control Is a ‘Lazy’ Approach to Gun Violence
"Republicans have responded to Monday’s shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville the same way they respond to most mass shootings: offering thoughts, prayers, and whatever linguistic gymnastics necessary to avoid taking action to address the epidemic of child slaughter.
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said it was “premature” to consider new gun legislation. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said it was too “emotional.” Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor now languishing toward the bottom of the polls for the the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, said on Tuesday that it is “lazy” to focus on guns in combating mass shootings.
“To sit there and say that it’s just a gun issue is the lazy way out,” Haley said at a town hall event in New Hampshire, according to Fox News. “We need to acknowledge the whole issue. And the whole issue is [the shooter in Nashville] was struggling and there was nobody there to help her.”"
