NRA and crazy gun laws, and is therefore responsible for the flood of<br>
automatic and semi automatic weapons on the streets? Which political<br>
party under which president de-funded mental health care in the US<br>
leading to swarms of mentally ill people on the streets? Which<br>
political party wants to cut taxes on the rich, cut funding for social<br>
programs and education, leaving more disenfranchised, hopeless, and<br>
desperate people?<br>
<br>
GUNS + ANGER + MENTAL ILLNESS = SENSELESS VIOLENCE<br>
