"Positive changes in mental health awareness and treatment have occurred since the 1990s, which may have contributed to fewer mass shootings. Also, Australian laws now support healthcare professionals reporting to police anyone who may pose a danger to themselves or others."

Worth saying again and again: Liberalism is a mental disorder.

REALLY wish Savage had corrected this before it got TOO far to the mainstream: “LEFTISM is a mental disorder.”
IMO, there’s NOTHING wrong w/ Liberalism (Liberty, Equality, etc.)
But, just another casualty of the War on Words from the Left (unfort., they seem to win more often than not) :(
Thanks for an OUTSTANDING post!

You did leave out the Leftist/SJW/race-hustlers, for whom w/o might have never germinated the idea. They use their leverage to cow-tow and brow-beat govt to the table, if not guiding their hand in the signing.
IMO, they are AS culpable, as Cruz.
The buzzword "gun violence" was created by politicians and the media to mask the real roots of the problem. After all, nobody refers to stabbings as "knife violence" or vehicular homicide as "automobile violence" or maintains the pretense that the instruments used are to blame.
What politicians and media call "gun violence" actually falls into two categories. Mass shooters are almost invariably mentally ill, but they account for a small fraction of shootings. The overwhelming majority of the remaining shootings are gang-related - Crips vs. Bloods, Zetas vs. Aztecas, etc. It's much more politically correct to refer to the latter as "gun violence" by blaming the tools than going after the culture and mindset that actually creates the problem.
Thank you for the compliment.
Coming from you it means a lot.
