Mental health has been abandoned or allowed to languish as it is costly and requires that a judgment be made of some form of mental illness. Those who decry the judgment of other human beings (except those they disagree with politically) have either directly caused this, or have allowed the decline of the safety net. The liberal buzzword “mainstreaming” came about in the 80s and has moved many patients out of facilities and simply given them apartments. There is no charity in that, as they are vulnerable human beings.
In each and every case of mass murder, innumerable hints, clues, suggestions were given by the perpetrators - and routinely ignored! How can you stop a murderer that you ignore? One who would still be alive if living in a controlled environment? This is not a “crowd” situation. It is for you and I to work on.
Murder, no matter how it is accomplished - whether by bare hands, fertilizer bomb, blunt object, knife, gun or vehicle, has nothing, zip, zero, nada to do with the 2nd Amendment. It occurs in maximum security prisons and jails nationwide! No, murder has to do with the human heart and controlling criminality - a classic failure of the left wing.
It has to do with the media culture of death. We reap what we sow. Where is the uproar over the abuses of the First Amendment - fake news - that causes terror and despair which lead some to commit murder? Just try to control the First Amendment and see who comes out of the woodwork!
The Second Amendment was created to prevent a tyrannical government from lording it over the people. Those who feared President Obama, and who now fear President Trump should understand this. Unless they seek a tyrannical government, that is.
didn’t the NRA used speak out about the violent video games?
