The front cover of New York's Daily News<span style="color: Red;">*</span>for Thursday takes a strong<span style="color: Red;">*</span>stance against<span style="color: Red;">*</span>how some politicians are<span style="color: Red;">*</span>reacting<span style="color: Red;">*</span>to the San Bernardino shooting with calls for prayer instead of tighter gun control laws.
The headline says, "God Isn't Fixing This."
"As latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind meaningless platitudes," the cover reads.
House Speaker<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Paul Ryan and GOP presidential hopefuls<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham all responded with "prayers" for the victims of San Bernardino.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families, and brave first responders during this unspeakable tragedy.
— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 2, 2015
We all are thinking about what happened in California today. Please keep the victims & their families in your prayers.
— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) December 2, 2015
Praying for the victims, their families & the San Bernardino first responders in the wake of this tragic shooting.

The tweet of the Daily News<span style="color: Red;">*</span>provocative front page is currently the most retweeted of 2015 for the news organization, according to Twitter.
Meanwhile,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Democratic presidential hopefuls, including Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, took a different tone and called for "action" to stop gun violence.
Mass shootings are becoming an almost-everyday occurrence in this country. This sickening and senseless gun violence must stop.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) December 2, 2015
President Obama underscored the need for stronger gun control laws in the United States after Wednesday's mass shooting, which left at least 14 dead and 14 wounded.
"There's some steps we could take, not to eliminate every one of the mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently," Obama told CBS News.
Some twitter users also called out for more congressional<span style="color: Red;">*</span>action.
David Mignery tweeted<span style="color: Red;">*</span>@SpeakerRyan We need more from you than prayers.
Whereas others<span style="color: Red;">*</span>felt that calling for prayer should not be mocked at a time like this.
