YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN TROUBLE WHEN A CRAZED SHOOTER IS THE LEAST INSANE THING ABOUT THE MASSACRE.

I would like to point out that I correctly predicted the race and lone gunman theory long before anyone else yesterday and I hardly have a multi-million dollar news budget. It mostly consists of me, my computer and the ability to read fantastically fast. Before the blood had even dried, we had conspiracy theories courtesy of Alex Jones and gun control from Obama and bitch fascist Diane Feinstein. The sad part about all of this is that the Republicans have correctly identified the problem as mental health issues while simultaneously destroying Medicaid, which has led to situation like this. Last month, we almost had another Newtown shooting when a mentally ill man thought about killing a bunch of school kids before sanity returned and he gave himself up. He was off his meds because he couldn't afford them after being kicked off of Medicaid, due to the GOP not interested in fixing the situation. They have further hampered the situation by not passing many laws that have passed their desk since the election of President Blackenstein, as they were too bust sharpening their pitchforks and gathering their torches.

Everyone involved with this is at fault. We have the insane right wingers screaming FALSE FLAG from the rooftops, even though there is no way this was. We have the democrats crying about more innocent deaths and them saying all that would disappear tomorrow if guns went away. Year, right. Look at the crime statistics in Britain or Australia and say guns don 't save lives with a straight face. You are three times more likely to be the victim of  a violent crime or rape in those two countries than here. Stats prove more guns means less crime. What less guns also means is a government that no longer fears it's people, and increasingly devious fact.

What we need is mental health for everyone, regardless of insurance. It's called a single payer plan and it works wonders everywhere. I keep reading  about morons who tout our health care system as the best in the world. It isn't and I would know. And am a literal expert on health care having a licence to sell insurance in the state and have most of my family involved in the industry. If I don't know the answer, there are several people I can call to ask about it. And let me tell you, our health care system is broken. We spend far more for less care than anyone else on Earth. And it is also sucking the life out of all businesses, large or small, who for some inane reason were not fighting for a single payer plan which would have saved them a fortune. This was the most stunning bit from the whole health care fight where people who were going to be affected by Obamacare didn't put up much a fight, except for the insurance companies which held a full court press, knowing they stood to lose billions on the deal.

Here's my plan. Every single person gets free health care. Free dental, free health, free mental care. We pay for it by raising taxes on the 1% and corporations that currently pay nothing.Trust me, they can afford it. Corporations will save billions anyway by not having to pay for health care so most costs would be offset anyway. We set up a Medicare for all plan and let others buy private insurance to cover the cost that Medicare doesn't cover, just like now. It works in every country on Earth so there is zero reason to believe it won't work here. Anyone diagnosed with a severe mental disorder such as being bi-polar or schizophrenic will be giving free medication for their disorder. Once a month they will be drug tested to make sure they are taking their prescriptions. Failure to show up for testing or failing the drug test will result in immediate incarceration until such time they are deemed fit for society. In that way, everyone takes their drugs who is supposed to and society is protected from random nutbags becoming delusional. Everyone wins with this plan. Everyone.

But that is not likely to happen. Instead we have the left going after guns again which is destroying their credibility and driving people back into the ranks of the idiot right wingers. What part of WE DON'T TRUST YOU, are you guys not getting. We want our guns because you keep kicking in our doors for no reason and killing our pets. You keep taking from the poor to give to the rich. Eventually, this will fail and those guns are the only thing that are going to be available for our protection.

On the flip side of mental health I have this question: how deranged do you have to be to NOT get a security clearance? Ed Snowden got one and look how that turned out. Aaron Alexis was hearing voices in his head, had several episodes of violent behavior in his past, but was still given a top secret clearance. Unbelievable. He also claimed to have PTSD from his work on recovery of victims during 9/11. When did we become such a nation of pussies? I've been tortured (literally), had guns pointed at my face and have had all sort of stressful situations that were live or die moments over my life. I do not have PTSD. But Amanda Bynes has it for working on a sitcom? This jerk has it because he saw dead bodies? Please. Soldiers coming back from war have every reason to have PTSD. This idiot had severe mental issues, PTSD not being one of them. It's an insult to those of us who survived real danger.

It has also been suggested that race was a factor. Some have said that Aaron felt he was being racially discriminated against at work and was the cause for his not being given a job in Japan earlier this year. Yeah, his mental issues had nothing to do with it. Right. Black people better wise up and realize the fact that their life sucks has less to do with their race and more with their economic situation. Blaming whitey is real old at this point.

Lastly, we keep hearing that that old bugaboo, the AR-15, was responsible again, but the Feds have denied that at this point. We know he got a shotgun, which he somehow got onto the base, where outside guns are not allowed (you know the gun free zones which are not blood free zones), and used that to procure handguns from his victims and, maybe, an AR-15. The point is, the semi auto gun was never purchased by him, much like the last few shooters who stole their weapons from others. All the gun control in the world wouldn't have stopped any of these massacres.

The common denominator in EVERY mass shooting over the last few years is the shooter was insane. It's not the gun that killed the people but the nutbag wielding it. Stop trying to take guns away from law abiding people and focus on the fact that we have NO way of monitoring people who are extremely dangerous and need to be watched carefully. If we don't this will happen again, gun control or not.
