Rick Perry: Prayer Is The Solution To Gun Violence

[Lakhota]

By Meredith Bennett-Smith

Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) has revealed his own plan for combating America's violence problem -- and it differs from President Barack Obama's on a key point. Specifically, the former presidential candidate said that instead of enacting tougher gun control legislation, Americans should simply pray for protections.

Perry said that there was "evil prowling" in the world that has appeared in television and movies, and then found its way into vulnerable minds.

As a free people, let us choose what kind of people we will be. Laws, the only redoubt of secularism, will not suffice. Let us all return to our places of worship and pray for help. Above all, let us pray for our children.​

Holy shit. Well, Rick, prayer didn't put you in the White House - and I'm sure you prayed your ass off.
