The Fake News Media can’t get enough of gun control.
Some of their talking heads even openly fantasize about disarming every law-abiding American.
But ABC just stooped to a disgusting new low to promote the Left’s radical gun control agenda.
The Left will rehabilitate and embrace anyone who pledges allegiance to their radical socialist agenda.
They never repudiate radicals – they always celebrate and embrace them.
Now, the Left are turning to the man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in order to promote their radical gun control agenda.
For some reason, ABC News’ Nightline recently interviewed John Hinckley Jr., who was recently granted a full release from court restrictions over 41 years after shooting then-President Reagan in March of 1981.
“Hinckley’s crimes back in 1981 changed gun control in the U.S.,” Nightline co-host Juju Chang said. “In 1993, James Brady and his wife, Sarah, helped pass The Brady Act. And the Brady law ushered in a waiting period and background checks.”
The pattern always remains the same with the establishment.
A madman does something heinous, and all law-abiding Americans have to pay for it by losing their rights as a result.
“I certainly don’t think the mentally ill should have access to guns,” Hinkley claimed. “I mean, that’s kind of obvious. Background checks are good. Waiting periods are good. I think there’s too many guns in America.”
Right on cue, Chang responded by saying, “And coming from you, that’s quite a statement.”
ABC was over the moon that John Hinckley Jr. was promoting the Left’s gun control agenda.
They claim to be so concerned about there supposedly being “too many guns” and mentally ill people having guns, but they refuse to do anything about the mental health crisis in this country.
The Left simply crows about not having enough funding.
But the real problem is that Democrats have adopted the belief that mentally ill people cannot, and should not, ever be committed to a mental health facility.
The homelessness crisis is almost exclusively due to mental health issues and substance abuse.
Yet, Democrats have determined that it’s somehow compassionate to let mentally unwell individuals live in squalor on the street.
Also, there is little discussion about how the number of mass shootings has exploded since asylums were closed down.
“Something seems to have gone horribly wrong right around 1970,” Ann Coulter wrote. “What could it be? Was it the introduction of bell-bottoms? That date happens to correlate precisely with this: In 1969, the country began throwing the mentally ill out of institutions. Your memory of a lot fewer mass murders in the past is correct. Your memory of there not being as many homeless people a few decades ago is also correct.”
“But liberals won’t allow the dangerous mentally ill to be committed to institutions against their will,” Coulter continued. “Often, the threat of commitment is the only mechanism capable of persuading disturbed individuals to take their medicine.”
Conditions in mental hospitals were bad, but the solution was not to allow deranged individuals to run rampant.
The actions of crazy people should not mean that law-abiding, and sane, Americans must lose their rights.
