littlepinklotusHowever we have a problem. We have too many psychos running around that have access to them.
Wait... did I almost hear someone say what I pointed out years ago, and still do, to this day...?
See... it's all about recognizing patterns. And one that no one seems to have caught onto...? You've got to go back in time, to the point that mass shootings began to appear. Can I give you a clue...? In 1981, under President Ronald Reagan, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act repeals Carter’s community health legislation and establishes block grants for the states, ending the federal government’s role in providing services to the mentally ill. Federal mental-health spending decreases by 30 percent. In fact, let's cut the budgets so severely, that all the states CLOSE the state looney bins and... ready for it...? Pay rent for an apartment instead, and then send the certifiable out onto the streets, free range, with little to no support, into our neighborhoods, with our families, and our children.
Now, mind you, once this happened...? Those who were afflicted, but manageable...? WEREN'T BEING MANAGED ANYMORE. How'd this work out...? Dunno. Nobody left to track all this shit, because they closed the damn facilities down. Those who might have gotten help, might have sought help, couldn't, because either there was no medical coverage for it, or no one to direct them accordingly.
Point is, once this happened...? Unless you broke the law, or publicly had a meltdown noteworthy of assessment, YOUR CORI CHECK COMES BACK CLEAN.
So, my neighbor who thought I was Jesus for the simple facts that I had long hair, a beard, and lived upstairs... same guy who listened to the radio in the middle of the night BETWEEN stations, so that the aliens could communicate their messages to him...?
He gets a gun permit, because his record is clean.
Wanna fix the gun problem...? FIX THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM.
