Does the FAR RIGHT Realize that its a Gun Problem - not Mental Health Problem?

Greg Abbott Says Focus Is ‘Mental Health Problems,’ Not Gun Reform, After Texas Shooting

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said the state would focus on addressing “mental health problems” behind gun violence, but didn’t address calls for gun reform after another devastating mass shooting at a shopping center this weekend.

Eight people were killed and at least seven others injured at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, on Saturday after a gunman opened fire on the crowded facility. Authorities identified the shooter as 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, who was killed by a police officer on the scene.

It was the second mass shooting in Texas in recent weeks after another gunman killed five of his neighbors in Cleveland, Texas, after they asked him to stop firing his weapon at home.
The twin shootings have renewed calls for increased gun control at both the state level in Texas and nationwide. But Abbott alluded Sunday the rise in gun violence is linked to a “dramatic increase” in “anger and violence,” not access to firearms, even after Fox News host Shannon Bream cited a poll showing strong support for increased gun control measures.

“What Texas is doing in a big-time way, we are working to address that anger and violence by going to its root cause which is addressing the mental health problems behind it,” the governor said on “Fox News Sunday,” adding there have been shootings “in states with easy gun laws as well as states with very strict gun laws.”

There’s an obvious mental health component to these shootings but it’s hard to deny that easy access to firearms makes it convenient for these people to commit mass murder. I’m just not really sure how you identify these folks before they do it and head them off preemptively. The kind of draconian gun laws you’d need to really make an impact are impossible to achieve. Working within the system, I don’t know what the answer is. These kinds of repeated tragedies are why I carry a firearm myself. I wish I lived in a world where I didn’t have to.

yeah right!! You're telling me guns kill on their own? People are the ones CHOOSING to use them. As a matter of fact you do not need a gun to kill if your intentions are to do so because there's knife's, rocks, your bare hands as well. It's not guns it's people like they choose to drink and drive and be reckless.. it's not the car it's the people

The Far Right is scared to lose their guns, this is why this is all happening.
