Republicans often claim "guns aren't the problem, it's mental illness."
Yes, mental health is a major problem in America — which is why we should fund programs to address it.
But all countries deal with mental illness.
Yet they don't suffer from the scourge of gun violence like the U.S.

The former head of the FBI’s Salt Lake City field office, a legendary agent named Mehtab Syed (pictured), was sacked by Kash Patel. Patel’s deputy director is a podcaster with zero FBI experience. If the FBI manhunt in Utah seems like amateur hour it’s because it is.

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.
He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

While many simply expressed their grief for Charlie Kirk and his family following the fatal killing of the conservative activist Wednesday, many politicians on both sides of the aisle also condemned the killing.
But some public figures used the moment to make incendiary claims.
