So riddle me this. Who but a Democrat, one that clearly suffers from some pretty obvious mental issues himself, as do most Democrats, would make the idiotic claim that these mass shootings that we see taking place far too often, are in no way connected to the issue of mental health? At least not to any great extent. In truth, this is really nothing more than yet another example of how the Democrats view ‘gun control’ as being a winning issue for them in their ongoing attempt to avoid what so many have now predicted to be the looming bloodbath, metaphorically speaking of course, that lies ahead for them in this November’s midterm elections.
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again, as
long as Democrats feel that continuing gun violence provides them with any sort
of a political advantage, real or imagined, they will continue to oppose any
serious measures the purpose of which is to prevent it. Their preference is, of
course, to do nothing in the hope that the next shooting will result in an even
higher body count than the last, that they can then use to portray the
Republicans as being the ones who want the carnage to continue. The Democrats
are absolutely salivating over the prospect of more, and greater violence, as a
way to score cheap political points as we head into the next election.
All of which brings me to that psycho-moron from
Connecticut and member of the U.S. Senate, Chris Murphy. You see, it was Murphy
who, during an appearance just this past Wednesday on the broadcast of MSDNC’s
“Morning Joe,” took the opportunity to push back against the notion that it’s
somehow mental health that continues to be the leading factor in the nation’s
mass shootings. Murphy argued that there was “no more mental illness in the
United States than any other nation.” He said the difference was that someone
with mental health problems in the country could “easily” get their hands on “a
weapon of mass destruction."
And it was again in accusing Republicans of standing
on the way of strengthening the nation’s gun laws that this dolt said, “I
absolutely think our partners are negotiating in good faith.” And he added, “You
know, Senator Cornyn is a friend. He has been moved as anyone would be by what
has happened in his state. And what we’re looking at is, you know, a proposal
that is both an investment in our mental health system and changes in our gun
laws.” And he continued saying, “I don’t believe our mass shooting problem is
first and foremost a mental health problem.” And added, “We have no more mental
illness in the United States than any other nation."
He said, “It’s just in this country, if you’re
having homicidal thoughts, you can easily get your hands on a weapon of mass
destruction, as opposed to every other high-income nation in the world. But I
do think our partners understand that we’ve got to do both. We’ve got to invest
in mental health, and we’ve got to make some commonsense changes to our gun
laws that are completely consistent with the Second Amendment to just make sure
that dangerous people don’t get their hands on weapons.” Murphy is yet another
Democrat who avoids mentioning that there are thousands of gun laws already on
the books that simply need to be enforced.
So, Murphy doesn’t think that mental health plays a
role in these mass shootings? So, what’s he thinking here, that totally
rational folks suddenly decide to go on some sort of shooting spree? Some random
guy goes into a school and murders students and teacher with a gun. If he
wasn’t a mental case, then what the Hell was he? This is really pretty pathetic.
Shame on these Democrat politicians using dead children and teachers as a
political weapon to destroy our Second Amendment. Further proof of Democrats living
in denial so they can punish folks who had nothing to do with any of it by
restricting our rights and pretending that mental illness isn’t a part of this
issue.
Obviously mental health issues are very large part
of the problem. The remaining part of the problem has to do with the push by the
Democrats, the ‘fake news’ media and the Left in general to remove private
ownership of firearms law-abiding Americans. Democrats are manufacturing this
terrible problem just to enact gun control in order to further gut our
Constitution. This is all planned. This isn’t about saving children, if it was
the authorities would have been IN that school stomping that shooter’s guts out
before he killed 19 kids and two adults. This is about control. So long as “We
the People” keep our guns, we shall maintain the “control” that the Leftists
rabidly seek.
So, according to Murphy, it is perfectly normal
human behavior for someone to walk into a store or a theater and to start killing
people, at random? Is it also normal, in his view, for an 18 year old to kill
elementary school children? Now maybe it is normal for the people with whom he
associates, but it’s certainly NOT normal for the rest of us. It’s someone
having some sort of a breakdown for any number of reasons. It’s someone who
should have never been permitted to purchase a gun with which they can do harm
to himself or others. Since the days of Jimmy Carter, another Democrat, our
mental health system has been badly broken and badly in need of being fixed.
Ya know, there was once a time when school shootings
never occurred and mass killings were rare outside the scope of war. I, myself,
grew up in a rural community where hunting was popular, and many kids drove to
school with rifles in the windows of their trucks, and there were no shootings.
So what has changed between then and now? What hasn’t changed are the types, the
proliferation, and the availability of weapons. In fact, it’s much harder today
to get a firearm than before school shootings began. What HAS changed is the level
of realistic violence and raw sexuality children are exposed to from very young
ages in television, music, movies, and video games.
Technology and social media have only exacerbated
the problem. Endless 24/7 cycles of nothing but negativity and warring
political factions disguised as ‘news’ is a huge contributor to the degradation
of our collective psychology. And of course, the lenient stance and, in many
cases, encouragement of drug use by federal, state, and local governments. Democrat,
and ONLY Democrat, policies such as discouraging fathers and husbands from
being involved in the raising of their kids over the last 60 years has been the
main cause of the personally IRRESPONSIBLE, violent behavior of these loons
killing children. No consequences for bad behavior, leads only to catastrophic
results.
Meanwhile, our elected officials, including all of
Congress, ignore the elephant in the room. Last weekend, there were 48
shootings in Chicago; for the month of May, Chicago saw 293 shootings, and 62
killed. Each one of these shooters were raised by someone, usually a single
parent, whose lack of personal responsibility affected their child’s outlook on
life, and their ability to interact in a socially responsible manner with other
people. To fix the problem of gun violence in our society, you go to the source
of the problem. However, our elected officials have no interest in doing that.
They likely think that the solution to obesity is to outlaw all frying pans.
Living in freedom has its dangers. Personal
responsibility of people and society gives us all the ability to live freely.
To live freely everyone must behave in a manner that is consistent with local
laws and morals. When politicians don’t follow the laws, the breakdown of
society follows. It’s inevitable. And now the same party which celebrates those
who fill our movie screens with endless violence, claims the constant exposure
to this crap has NO effect. That would be the same party which has for years
been pitting Americans against each other and the same party that claims
America has always been a racist nation and that whites have always been, privileged!
Democrats believe that who vote
for them are dumb as a stump which, more often than not, tends to be the case.
Which is why those like Murphy can make such stupid statements without fear of
any sort of repercussions. In this case, the few people who commit these mass
murders do have mental problems, serious mental problems. And, more often than
not, those around them, family, friends and even local law enforcement, KNEW that
they were not playing with a full deck. If other countries have less of a
problem with their mentally ill citizens than we do, could it be that they
handle these people better than we do. Guns are NOT the issue. People are.
