Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) wondered, “are we mature enough as a country to look in the mirror and say we have a gun problem?” And said, “Shooters are evil, but people who stand by and do nothing, and say nothing can be done to fix problems, that’s a voice of evil too” on Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Kaine stated, “I think what these latest incidents in Colorado, and now California, raises two questions. One, are we mature enough as a country to look in the mirror and say we have a gun problem? You know, a twelve-step program starts with, you got to acknowledge you have a problem, are we mature enough to acknowledge that? And second, for those of us here, are we willing to stop being bystanders? Because Congress has been a bystander to all this, and there’s always that voice that comes out and says oh, this particular fix wouldn’t have done anything about it, so let’s do nothing. And that bystander voice is a voice of evil. Shooters are evil, but people who stand by and do nothing, and say nothing can be done to fix problems, that’s a voice of evil too.”
