The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security
held a hearing Thursday on finding a solution to gun violence, and the
difference of opinion between Democrats and Republicans was put on full
display.

Passions ran high given the sensitivity of the issues involved, as liberal
lawmakers focused on weapons and conservatives on the people who use them.
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, a former judge who handled felony cases, was
in the latter group and focused on the need to instill morality in people,
citing Judeo-Christian principles. He went so far as to say it is the
bedrock of the nation's founding principles, and that the effectiveness of
the Constitution depends on it.

"We gotta get back to teaching there is a right or wrong or, I agree with
everybody here, we�re going to have to get rid of the Second Amendment,
we�re going to have to get rid of Freedom of Speech, we�re going to have
to get rid of freedom of assembly," Gohmert said. "This Constitution won�t
work the way we are teaching children."

Gohmert then gave the floor to one of the hearing's witnesses, Jack
Brewer. Brewer, a minister and the chair of the America First Policy
Institute's Center for Opportunity Now, claimed in his opening remarks
that a significant factor in mass shootings is the home environment of the
shooters. He cited a 2016 study that showed that out of 56 shooters, 18%
grew up in homes with both parents. He recalled his own youth, stating
that he had an illegal gun but never used it out of fear of his own
father.

On the left side of the aisle, Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., scoffed at the
ideas that mass shootings are caused by "evil," children raised by single
parents, mental illness or a lack of prayer.

"Really?" she questioned. "Where have we lost our humanity?"

Dean focused on the guns, saying it is a "man-made" problem that can be
"man solved."

When Gohmert gave Brewer the opportunity to speak, he pushed back at
Democrats' dismissal of his belief that family and morality have an
impact. He reiterated the point that 82% of shooters cited in the study
had no father at home.

"To not look at that as a root cause to me is idiocy," he said.

Brewer stated that many public school children are reading at levels that
are several grades below what they should be, and blamed this on the
students not having "dads at home to hold them accountable." He said it
"makes no sense" to ignore this.

"Go into the prisons and talk to the people who are pulling the trigger!"
Brewer dared.

The minister then echoed Gohmert's claim that morality is part of the
equation, and lamented that the Ten Commandments are not taught in schools
and people do not have a fear of God.

"We are morally weak as a nation right now," he said.

Gohmert's reputation as one of the dumbest Congress critters is well
deserved.

"We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of
government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political
constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves
according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments." ~ James Madison
