sorry folks, meant to imbed this in my other thread .....oops
President Trump said Monday that a mass shooting at a Texas church that left 26 dead was not a guns situation, declaring that the problem was the shooters mental health.
I think that mental health is your problem here, Trump said during a news conference in Tokyo, Japan in response to a question about the massacre in Sutherland Springs, Texas. This was a very based on preliminary reports a very deranged individual. A lot of problems over a long period of time.
Police have identified the shooter as Devin Kelly, 26, but have not issued an assessment about his mental health. Kelley reportedly received a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force in 2014 over allegations of domestic violence.
The president said that we have a lot of mental health problems in our country, as do other countries, but this isnt a guns situation.

nothing will change.. Even when one of their own congressmen gets shot, it's ok cause you don't want to disturb the money flow...
I believe if their was a shooting on the house floor and may congressman were killed nothing would change.. It's all about the money... Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money.
