President Donald Trump said Today that Sunday's mass shooting at a Texas church "isn't a guns situation" but instead "a mental health problem at the highest level."
This is the dumbest statement that anyone could have made, let alone by the president of the USA!!!
Doesn’t he realize that all shootings of this type are initiated by mentally deranged or disturbed individuals!!!! That being the reality, it is more of a good reason to address this chronic problem, one that is perpetuated by gun lobbyists who continue to, like ostriches, bury their heads in the sand taking shelter in the second amendment to the constitution which was adopted 226 years ago on December 15, 1791!
Don’t the modern day adherents to the second amendment realize that when it was ratified back then, it was done in a different context than how they choose to interpret it today? Furthermore, don’t they realize that NO one at that time could have predicted the degree of sophistication of arms nor the complexity of life in the 21st. Century?

I wonder if some politicians need to be made aware that they no longer live in the 18th Century!!!!!
