Lafayette Shooter? Not a Gun Problem...

Simply a mental health issue, which professional govt. health agencies simply were incompetent in handling..

There it is people...My take on how the NRA will frame this horrendous incident..

so he is the demonstration of our inadequate gun laws. He was known to have mental issues, he trashed and booby-trapped his home that was foreclosed, he had restraining orders against him, he was diagnosed bi-polar and depressed - yet his gun buy was legal.
The NRA cannot escape this.

Blame the gov't for its alleged failure to "do something" about mental illness.
