Yes, people have opinions.
Now revisit your statement and view the current MSM machine through that same lens when you recognize that objective journalism in its previous sense is dead.

So why did you roll in here bitching about white men?

Doesn't give a shite or realizes that additional gun control only affects law abiding citizens and wants to solve the problem in a different manner?

Democrats WANT the mentally ill walking amongst us BECAUSE they want to use the bad actions of those mentally ill to justify taking OUR guns from us so they can impose their utopia on us.

You want to take a guess at which party led this effort? You want to take a guess at which party has more people on mental meds and seeing docs?
When Cain killed Able we just needed common sense rock control, it definitely wasn’t something else that made him kill his brother.

They're saying he might be listening to scanners.
My question is why are Police radios not secure in 2023? Why are they still broadcast in the clear?

To simplify, both played a role. The Dems seem to have been motivated by social policy, and the GOP seems to have been motivated by fiscal concerns. Plus, it has gotten much more difficult to legally commit someone involuntarily:
quote:
Experts agreed it would be unrealistic to return to mass institutionalization.
The law likely wouldn’t allow it, given several U.S. Supreme Court decisions that raised the threshold for involuntary commitment, including O’Connor v. Donaldson in 1975 and Addington v. Texas and Parham v. J.R. in 1979.
"It would probably be impermissible to continue to hold someone who has been successfully treated with medication, unless it can be shown they will go off their meds once released," Vanderbilt’s Slobogin said.

I'm not sure what's less surprising, you posting a Politifact, or Politifact using the old "Experts say..." line.
quote:
Multiple experts told PolitiFact that blaming liberals, or Democrats, for shutting down mental health institutions is a vast oversimplification of a far more complicated history.
Experts said that one of the leading figures in this effort was a conservative icon, Ronald Reagan, both as California’s governor and as president. Other key players in the policy shift included the U.S. Supreme Court and governors and legislators from both parties who saw an opportunity to save money by shuttering inpatient institutions.

The real question should be, why do these mass shooters for the most part be known by authorities as being mentally unstable before they commit their acts of violence. How does a known person who is known to be mentally unstable have a job as a gun instructor. Ex-military, And a target for control.
