Former Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill claimed Monday that Jesus Christ “would be shocked” at America’s lack of gun control following a Saturday shooting at a Texas mall.
“One of my grandchildren had his first communion over the weekend, and I listened to the homily at that service, and I was reminded about what a peaceful man Jesus was, and I listened to that elected representative, and they always want to say, ‘oh, well, let’s not make it political after there’s a slaughter of innocents,’” McCaskill told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace.

The suspect, Mauricio Garcia, 33, served in the Army in 2008, but was discharged for reasons of mental health, then worked as a security guard at an aluminum company and lived in an extended-stay hotel, according to WFAA. Garcia reportedly expressed extremist and anti-Semitic views, The Washington Post reported.
Garcia legally purchased the firearm used in the attack, and other firearms he owned, some of them through private sales, a law enforcement source told CNN.
“I will tell you this,” McCaskill added. “I believe very firmly that Jesus would be shocked at what our country is allowing to happen. There is no way that He would embrace everyone walking around with weapons of war.”
