Trump: Texas shooting a 'mental health' problem, not a 'guns situation' VIDEO

sorry folks, meant to imbed this in my other thread .....oops




President Trump said Monday that a mass shooting at a Texas church that left 26 dead was not “a guns situation,” declaring that the problem was the shooter’s “mental health.”

“I think that mental health is your problem here,” Trump said during a news conference in Tokyo, Japan in response to a question about the massacre in Sutherland Springs, Texas. “This was a very — based on preliminary reports — a very deranged individual. A lot of problems over a long period of time.”

Police have identified the shooter as Devin Kelly, 26, but have not issued an assessment about his mental health. Kelley reportedly received a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force in 2014 over allegations of domestic violence.

The president said that “we have a lot of mental health problems in our country, as do other countries, but this isn’t a guns situation.”

nothing will change.. Even when one of their own congressmen gets shot, it's ok cause you don't want to disturb the money flow...
I believe if their was a shooting on the house floor and may congressman were killed nothing would change.. It's all about the money... Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money, Money.
