Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), who represents the district where a school shooting took place yesterday, said that “it’s not the time to talk about” gun control.
Instead, Collins said it’s time for prayer: “People are holding up because they have a strong faith in God. Prayers are being lifted up. I just encourage everybody out there – please, just continue to pray for those who didn’t get to make it home yesterday… It’s times like this that your faith really comes into play.”
