Republicans always say we should focus on "mental illness" after a mass shooting

But republicans never do or propose any solutions for mental illness. In fact, they seem to block anything that is proposed. So if they don't want to do anything about the guns, and they won't do anything about the mental illness, does that say they are OK with elementary school kids being killed?

Gov Abbot is taking huge bribes............I mean "campaign contributions"...from the NRA. As such he like all Republicans on the take from them has the same carbon copied response to dead kids........."refusing to deal with mental health issues is the problem". And yet for the 2nd successive time he and Texas Republicans have refused to fund any mental health agencies or programs in Texas.

He can get away with this hypocrisy because facts to a Republican is like garlic to a vampire. If Abbot says we did all we can do........and guns don't kill people..........then to a Republican voter why bother to see if he really did all he could to help the mentally ill in Texas?? Just nod and blame a Democrat. Works every time.
