I know I shouldn't , but I am laughing playing this. It's just so absurd, and so real.
The 'ban assault weapons' option messages are spot-on.

Made it to 110 thoughts and prayers. I think I'm officially a Congressman now.

Some good political art; it reminds me of September 12, which I don’t think you can play but can be seen here.

When dealing with obtuse, callous, oblivious hypocrites, subtlety is not a virtue.

Yeah, well, no matter how heavy handed we get, nothing seems to work! Pictures of tragically dead first graders! Heartwrenching stories of the educators who literally died trying to save them! Inconceivably tragic stories about a gay couple who didn't live long enough to get married, but at least they can be buried together! Fifteen hours worth of a filibuster that was approximately 50% heavy handed emotional manipulation with sad stories about people dead of gun violence!
Ahahaha, but it's all so heavy handed, right? So inappropriate, let's just go back to sitting quietly to think and pray about gun violence.

I am reminded of the immortal words of Frank Zappa.
"If one wants to be a real artist in the United States today and comment on our culture, one would be very far off the track if one did something delicate or sublime. This is not a noble, delicate, sublime country. This is a mess run by criminals."
(Full text, mostly not strictly relevant, but nevertheless recommended to anybody who finds temporary comfort in the occasional grim chuckle.)

If you really want to get your thinking and praying up, you can't really pause to try to ban assault weapons.

All the games at the GOP Arcade are pretty good. Bomb the Right Place is my favorite so far.
