History lesson-  which political party predominantly supports the
NRA and crazy gun laws, and is therefore responsible for the flood of
automatic and semi automatic weapons on the streets?  Which political
party under which president de-funded mental health care in the US
leading to swarms of mentally ill people on the streets?  Which
political party wants to cut taxes on the rich, cut funding for social
programs and education, leaving more disenfranchised, hopeless, and
desperate people?

GUNS + ANGER + MENTAL ILLNESS = SENSELESS VIOLENCE
