...”The National Rifle Association “applauded” Trump’s action. Chris Cox, NRA-ILA executive director, said the move “marks a new era for law-abiding gun owners, as we now have a president who respects and supports our arms.”...it would be laughable but it’s far too horrendous and terrifying...and how much of the Pentagon reserves will he now divert from his wall to mental health issues of his people..?... |

No he wouldn't! His is just him undoing everything Obama did, it's his mission. I'm really surprised the media hasn't picked up on it though?

It was on NBC as you see from the link so others in the US must have covered it.
It happened in early 2017, soon after he took power. And I bet he was already distracting everybody with other crazy ideas. Wasn't that the time when he tried banning all muslims from entering the country? |

Surely the fact that Trump is acknowledging that mental health is an issue is a good thing, no? I mean by all means criticize him for his previous actions, but at least acknowledge that he is trying to do something about it.
I mean, everyone is saying something needs to be done, he takes some positive steps and again gets criticized .... how exactly is that going to help? Trump has called for across politics action to try to stop the issue from repeating, should that not be applauded? |

The house passed a gun control bill months ago, but Mitch McConnell won't even allow a vote on it in the senate. Also, when the R's tried to end Obamacare, they were trying to cut medicaid by $800b, which would have destroyed the already cash strapped MH services.

I find it laughable personally, when people say ... it's all Trumps fault, when he is trying to take some action ... people need to put there dislike for Trump aside and actually acknowledge that he is trying to do something |

Because the truth is, whilst gun control obviously SHOULD be brought in to limit the means of committing these acts, the availability of guns has nothing to do with the motivation. The social psychological phenomenon that makes this so much more prominent in the US that anywhere else is baked right into the foundations of the US, "the American Dream", and an idea of what life is supposed to be there that is completely, and increasingly, at odds with reality. Psychological breakdowns occur when a person's preconceptions of reality collide with objective reality on a level that becomes impossible to rationally process. In the US, from birth people (especially middle class white people) are reassured that "literally anything is possible" with a bit of hard work and a plucky attitude and eventually the vast majority will be confronted with the reality that they are part of a game that they will never win. The mental turmoil that causes is absolutely staggering. Violent outbursts and mass shootings are just the very visible tip of the iceberg; there are millions upon millions of others who simply end up with crippling anxiety, depression and other mental health problems that don't manifest in violence. So no... Trump suddenly giving a vague nod to mental health means nothing. Just... Nothing. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 06-08-2019 at 09:23 AM. |

It's not even about Trump; put any R in as president and the conversation is the same, after every mass shooting they talk about mental health because they want to avoid gun control.

...’cultural change is hard...’...he spoke the words himself...he’s applying it to vid games though but then contradicts...and goes on to talk about hate and bigotry in America...a hate and bigotry that he’s continued to feed into ...a hate that has taken the lives of so many people..?..his ‘words of recovery’ have no weight while his actions keep adding to the issue ...
