CA Senator Diane Feinstein must be horribly disappointed:
"There are reports the killer was armed with an AR-15, a shotgun and a semiautomatic pistol when he stormed an American military installation in the nation's capital and took at least 12 innocent lives," she said.
It turns out there was no AR-15, no rifle of any kind involved in the shooting. What was used was a pump action shotgun, favored by duck hunters, and a pistol taken from a slain security guard. This doesn't support her agenda, which she started pushing before the bodies stopped bleeding. But that's what happens when nothing matters but scoring political points.
And why am I so upset about it? The shooter was certifiably crazy. He had called the police department at some point to tell them that he was hearing voices and to ask for help. Why ask the police for help? Because there isn't anywhere else to go! AMERICA HAS NO MENTAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM! Why? Because of political opportunists like Feinstein who constantly rant about the availability of guns instead of calling for a viable mental health care system.
If guns weren't available crazy people would use machetes, swords, clubs, knives, or bombs. The problem is not guns. It's that nobody cares about the homicidally insane among us, and nobody will care as long as Feinstein and others co-opt the dialog around these events for political gain. I'm sickened by this.
