Again and Again

Days since last mass shooting

If Republicans were sincere (HAH!) about gun violence being due to “mental illness” you’d think they’d be ALL over keeping guns out of the hands of violent nutters. They’d be all about getting help for the dangerously whack amongst us.

They’re not. In fact, just the opposite.

Republican-led legislatures tend to push through bills that make it easier to own and use firearms after a mass shooting, according to research from economists at Harvard Business School and UCLA. (source)

We all know that the Republi/Fascist Party’s lord and master is the NRA. What they want, they get from their bought and paid for congresscritters.

The best available evidence suggests two major National Rifle Association gun policy prescriptions — what are known as “stand your ground”self-defense laws and permissive concealed carry laws  — increase homicides and violent crime.

That is according to a massive new study by the RAND Corporation, an independent think tank. (source)

Saint Ronzo is at the heart of this. Just before Ronnie’s election President Carter signed the Mental Health Systems Act. This proposed the continuation of the federal community mental health centers program.

 It also included a provision for federal grants “for projects for the prevention of mental illness and the promotion of positive mental health,”

That was one of the first things Ray-gun ixnayed on entering the WH and then...

Two months after taking office, Reagan was shot at by John Hinckley, a man with untreated schizophrenia.  (source)

Karma, it’s gonna get’cha, get’cha, get’cha, eh?

Despite having a close call with death by a gun wielding crazy AND in the face of his friend and personal tax tipster’s two sons, BOTH developing schizophrenia (one committed suicide while the other committed matricide), he never changed his mental healthcare policy.

Reagan began his own decline into dementia WHILE IN OFFICE. Unlike us poor indigent schlubs, Ronzo had the big buckos to insure good, proper care once he slid into mental decline.

So, ya know, Nimrod Orange Nero isn’t our first mentally banjaxed Republi/Fascist prez – Ronnie beat him to the title and was a better actor too.

Now then, consider this – the Republi/Fascist Party is a bought and paid for subsidiary of the NRA who has, in turn, been working diligently, hand in hand to assist their old pal Vlad baby in tearing our country apart. What this says to me is that the Republican Party itself IS a Russian asset. It's not just Moscow Mitch.
