All of the presidential hopefuls for the 2016 US elections have their own ideas regarding America's gun control laws, but for Republican candidate and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, the real issue is actually the "spiritual" condition of America and not its gun laws.
"Passing more laws to take away the rights of law-abiding Americans won't stop this problem, won't stop the next massacre, won't stop the next tragedy," Jindal told ABC News "This Week" during a recent appearance.
What America needs, he said, is a "spiritual revival" that would fix the "moral decay" that has been weighing Americans down, what with violent movies, television shows, song lyrics, and even video games becoming more and more popular in today's culture.
"We can't just elect a candidate and fix what ails our country," he said. "We can't just pass a law and fix what ails our country. We need a spiritual revival to fix what ails our country."
"You know, it is a time-honoured tradition, going back to our nation's founding, for our presidents, for our leaders to turn to God for guidance, for wisdom," Jindal added.
Meanwhile, Jindal has been listed as one of six Republican presidential candidates who are edging toward financial crisis, raising the possibility that some of them may be forced to quit the race, according to the Business Insider.
The six candidates all spent more than they took in during the third quarter, according to campaign finance reports filed on Thursday. Aside from Jindal, the other candidates facing campaign financing woes are: Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, former New York Governor George Pataki, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.
Together, the six candidates raised $6 million but spent more than $9.5 million during the summer. All six are at the bottom of the polls.
