More of this please.

After a shooting at a bar in Dayton, Ohio left nine people dead in the early hours of Sunday morning, Republican Ohio Congressman Mike Turner announced his support for common sense gun laws including a ban on "military style" weapons in order to stem the American epidemic of mass shootings.

The congressman, who has an A rating from the National Rifle Association, announced his position on Twitter. His daughter was across the street from the bar at the time of the shooting.


“I strongly support the Second Amendment," Turner assured in a statement, "But we must prevent mentally unstable people from terrorizing our communities with military style weapons."

He continued:

"I believe these are necessary steps forward in protecting our country and a testament to American values, which include protecting human life."

Turner also endorsed magazine limits after pointing out that the shooter had modified his weapon to hold more than 100 rounds of ammunition.

People commended Turner for breaking with the mainstream Republican party on such an urgent issue.

But the post wasn't without its Republican detractors.

Another Ohio Republican, Senator Rob Portman, threw his support behind common sense gun reform as well, primarily for red flag laws, or court orders allowing police to confiscate weapons of those deemed by a judge to be a danger to themselves or others.

The House of Representatives passed a gun reform package this past February. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) refuses to bring it to the Senate floor for a vote.

MTG Epically Melts Down Over 'Nasty' Journalists Who Claim She's Beefing With Trump

After media outlets reported on Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's criticism of President Donald Trump's attack on Iran, Greene lashed out at journalists she claims are promoting the "fake narrative" that she's splitting from him after being one of his biggest supporters in Congress.

Earlier this week, she said that "when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy," stressing that she "campaigned for no more foreign wars" and yet had to respond because "now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran."
