This isn't a guns situation, said President Trump, when .. asked to comment ...
... Our fellow citizens getting murdered in church, at concerts, at the movies, in nightclubs, in malls, in school? Gun advocates, a group that includes almost every elected Republican, simply do not think its a problem ...
Just watch Texas Gov. Greg Abbott explain that "killing is illegal," then go on to note that there are also incidents in which people kill with trucks and knives ... This is .. repeated often: .. yet another mass shooting, and Republicans .. point out that its possible to kill .. without guns ...
.. What does Abbott want to do about gun violence? ... He wants to do nothing ...
Republicans .. frequently say they want to improve the mental health system. But ... they havent other than trying to take away millions of people's .. access to mental health care.
Trump ... revoked a regulation .. that made it more difficult for some people with mental illnesses to buy guns ...
