Today’s editorial by Jim Zbick in the Times News was absolutely brilliant. He pointed out that it wasn’t the availability of guns that led to the shootings at Santa Barbara, it was mental health issues.
Our mental health system has failed us. The fact that the young man was able to amass an arsenal with ammo is not the issue here; his mental health is the issue.

Zbick says the shootings will continue until we address mental health issues. Regulating weaponry is not in the cards.
I tell you, the guy is brilliant. Why this man has not won a Pulitzer is hard to explain. Wow.
Maybe he should write about Joe the plumbers recent open letter to the families at Sandy Hook. He said "As harsh as this sounds — your dead kids don't trump my Constitutional rights," What a great story that could be!
ReplyDeleteJoe the Plumber exhausted his 15 minutes of fame a long time ago..I wish he'd just go away. What a thoughtless ass.
