" Keep guns away from crazies " ?

  The issue here, after yet another sickening, nationally televised murder, is not gun control vs.better mental health care. We are rightly perceived as the Wild West among civilized nations in making deadly weapons available to just about anybody. But also our mental health system stinks. Mr. Parker wants " to keep guns away from the crazies ". I wonder how pacifists and anti-war activists here would view that remark. Reflect on the " Black Lives Matter ! " crusade against reckless police brutality.
          And psychiatrists who hire themselves out as torture experts for the CIA are going to tell us which mentally ill  citizens are unfit to own guns ? But the war monger leaders can " possess " nuclear weapons ? Should the working class in general be completely disarmed ?
        With the exception of " socialist " Bernie Sanders,  which candidates for president raise the question of this nation's social sanity ? Naturally most of our mental health professionals support the capitalist status quo. They preach the gospel of adjustment and conformity to a highly irrational-and unjust social order.
