Every week some NRA sponsored Republican starts blowing smoke at us by saying that the active shooter problem is a mental health issue. Hey, Ace, we know it is a mental health issue. We are also smart enough to       know it is a long-term issue.  Why don’t we talk about something that will cut the fatality numbers and could   be done in a week?

Yes, I’m talking about banning assault rifles, adding background checks, using Red Flag Alerts, and raising the gun buying age to 21.

You brilliant people are always telling us what we Americans want, but you haven’t a clue. What we Americans want is for our fellow citizens, adults, and little kids, to not be shot and murdered.
