Hinderaker rolls out all his Columbine era tropes.
And now that it is clear the mood of the nation is in favor of more responsible gun control policies… suddenly his answer is more mental health services.
Hilarious. He points out that about 95 per cent of all the prior mental health facilities are gone (in the last four decades).
What he doesn’t say about those shuttered facilities is that state level GOP health funding cuts… are largely to blame.
Now he wants Democratic / federal powers to fix this.
But of course, he doesn’t want to pay for it. And he repeats the lie that mass shootings are rare. He ignores that more young people die from shootings than car crashes now.
Guns are now the No. 1 cause of death for 2 to 19 year olds in the US.
Cheeky.
Out.
