'Malicious nonsense’: David Frum gets blowback to questions about prayer in wake of 'gun massacre'

When we “pray for” the victims of a gun massacre, what should the prayer say? “Forgive us Lord for letting this happen again & again”?

What's a "gun massacre" David? Is it better or worse than a knife massacre, a bomb massacre, or a plane massacre? https://t.co/MzyPiU9SwL

Perhaps we should all pray for @davidfrum to stop tweeting malicious nonsense. https://t.co/Gpmbta31Vo

@davidfrum @67sound uh.. "Please be with their loved ones in this time of need." Pretty damn simple.

@davidfrum @ron_fournier This silly platitude presupposes control. An illusion.

Or maybe don't assume God shares your politics and just pray for the souls and loved ones of all involved? https://t.co/K3WwO8SSpc

@davidfrum @ron_fournier Just what would have prevented this shooting? The father may have broken an existing law."We" don't let it happen.

@davidfrum How about "Don't let the acts of a deranged killer convince us to abandon our rights."

Some of us should pray for the courage to take up arms & defend those we supposedly love. https://t.co/gcCrJkES8d

@davidfrum Why are you responsible for the acts of a deranged man?

@davidfrum Let me guess, Frum? You're the gun grabbing type?

@davidfrum Pray for their comfort in a time of grief. We are also called by Christ to pray for the killer. His soul needs mercy.

@davidfrum @allahpundit Try: "Forgive us Lord for refusing to address the mentally ill in society & allowing them to commit horrible acts."
