Ranjeev Puri, the majority leader within the Michigan House, issued a vulgar statement in the wake of the MSU shooting.

A prominent Democrat representative within the Michigan legislature attacked those who offered “thoughts and prayers” for those affected by the mass shooting at Michigan State University. Ranjeev Puri, the majority leader within the Michigan House, released an inflammatory statement Tuesday morning after a 43-year-old black man carried out a shooting on Michigan State University’s (MSU) campus, killing three students.
Puri began his statement by saying, “F**k your thoughts and prayers,” before echoing calls for gun control.
The Michigan rep. claimed that “going to school in America, whether its pre-school or college, means risking your life every day to the threat of a mass shooting.”
“Yet all we have offered up are empty solutions — traumatizing active shooter drills and bulletproof backpacks,” he added, failing to mention MSU’s campus was a gun-free zone.
The MSU shooter appears to be 43-year-old, Anthony McRae. MSU Police claimed McRae had no affiliation with the school and the shooter’s motive is unknown. “We can confirm that the 43-year-old suspect had no affiliation to the university. He was not a student, faculty, staff, current or previous,” MSU Police Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said in a Tuesday press conference.
“What we’re trying to understand is why this incident occurred. I know everybody wants to know what the motive is. We don’t have an answer right now. And that’s the honest truth,” Rozman added.
When confronted by police after an hours-long manhunt, McRae shot himself in the head, dying soon thereafter.
One political influencer, Robby Starbuck, claimed the suspected shooter was a convicted felon that illegally possessed the weapon used in the attack.
“Inconvenient reality for the gun control crowd: The MSU shooter was a convicted felon named Anthony McRae so it was illegal for him to have a gun at all. He did this with a handgun, not an AR-15. He was previously convicted for breaking a gun law. Criminals don’t follow gun laws,” Starbuck said in a tweet.
...who blames the gun and ignores the criminal.
I’ve started employing this question when people call for more gun control in the wake of these events.
“What do you was going on in the gun’s head when it decided to kill all those people?”
Most will start to reply, then stop mid sentence.
I haven’t met all that many Sikhs, but this guy does not seem typical.
Ranjeev, you should have never said that.
a emigrants child who worked for obama. says all you need to know
The fact that leftists frequently resort to f bombs shows they lack intelligent arguments. How juvenile and immature.
Where is Ranjeev Puri's outrage that Michigan, which issues his own paycheck, violates citizens' rights by requiring unconstitutional licensing to keep and bear arms in the state and BANS FIREARMS ON CAMPUS. The death of these victims is on the perp and Michigan Democrat politicians who keep such laws in place.

"Possession of firearms, dangerous weapons and knives (longer than four inches) is not permitted on property owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the University of Michigan, even if you have a concealed weapons permit." [emphasis mine]
He’s not going to like God’s response to him very much.
Maybe he didn’t realize the shooter was black ... I don’t know about the victims.
The problem, as always in these situations, is that no one shot back.
Look at their governor.
Dead perp was known to the "authoritays", and to his own father.
Ranjeev can ram it.
To him I say, “F*** your control fetish, commie.”
I believe the black elites like Joyless Reid, Al Sharptongue and Jesse Jackoff are just preaching hatred of whites hoping there will be a black uprising and they will take over and make the US just like Africa.
Hey Puerile, F**k your witless calls for gun control.
Memo to Ranjeev Puri: Democrats have caused more death than
guns have.
When the Congress gives up its armed security....we can maybe talk.
Hey foreigner, STFU. Oh, the Soros DA let him out way early on a reduced charge for illegal gun possession. Call George, he has millions of dead on his hands.
It looks like Michigan State was a GFZ. So, another mass shooting in Blue America. Clearly we need to expand Blue America even more, and shrink Red America, because the way to prevent mass shootings is to make more of America susceptible to such events.
(Ask a liberal to explain this, because I certainly can’t.)
