President Trump on Texas Church Shooting: Mental Health Problem, Guns Not to Blame
IWB ^ | Chris Black

Posted on 11/07/2017 6:40:43 AM PST by davikkm

President Trump was asked on Monday during a presser whether better (as in stricter) gun control laws could have prevented the Texas Church massacre. The POTUS proved once again he’s awake and dropped a truth bomb:

“Mental health is your problem here. This isn’t a guns situation. This is a mental health problem at the highest level. It’s a very, very sad event.”

Truer words have never been spoken by a standing President. As Donald Trump described the murderer as a very deranged individual during a joint press conference in Japan on Monday, we already know quite a few things about Devin Patrick Kelley, the 26 year old psychopath who indiscriminately killed 26 people, including toddlers and pregnant women, during one of the worst mass shootings in US history at a Baptist church in rural Texas.

And Trump just keeps on blowing fresh air across the land, trying at least, to drive away the fetid, stinking clouds of liberalism, hypocrisy, and self-delusion.

Nah. It was the presence of guns that drove the perp to do what he did. Mind control and all that from the secret underground NRA lair.

No matter how the demonrats try to spin this, the monster will go down as a mental case. Every time this sort of thing happens, it’s always a crazy person and should be labeled as such. Banning guns won’t stop crazies from getting their hands on rental trucks or axes or whatever they wish. If the msm would stress the loony toon aspect, maybe one or two of the loonies might reconsider their evil plans.

What's noticeable in all these mass murders is the arousal of a "kill" plan.

But what drives them to the point of frenzy and the actual kill....the preparation and a drop of a pin??

I do not believe motive is the strongest factor.

The issue is ALL libs are “mentally challenged”.
All it takes is one certain little thing and they will “snap” and go violent.
They belong in an insane asylum. They’re not stable enough to exist within a sane society.

Wife just got rehired into the mental healthcare industry after a few years off. The last time she was in was when the Giffords shooting happened. They had a meeting just after that where the stats were brought out that there were an estimated 3 million homicidal mental cases out in public. What brought that up was the Gifford shooting and the one in Seattle where a bonafide nut case killed a few cops.

3 million...

BTW, SMI people are no joke. Most are fine as long as they are on their meds. But, since they feel great while on their meds, they quit taking them, and then all hell breaks out.

What a difference when an adult is in charge!!

Mental problems are the real issue not guns, buses, knives or cars that are used as weapons.

Interesting, no? I’ve not heard ONE other elected (R)NC shit-bag even begin to counter the Left\media (I repeat myself) narrative in this fashion.

How much more succinct does one need to be to state: “The same govt the Left claims is here to protect you, if only you surrender your Rights, is the *SAME* govt that allowed this nut to buy multiple guns and kill dozens of Citizens (in a GUN FREE ZONE??). It was an NRA instructor that responded before GOVT could even get to the scene.”

I suppose by definition you could say that someone who kills random people is crazy. But I don’t want to say that people with anger issues have mental health issues. They’re just angry people. And some are evil, angry people.

Except that the mental health “treatment” causes the violence he is correct.

Had he not been able to obtain firearms he could have done as much or more harm with a firebomb, poison in the communion cups, dynamite...
