There’s been very little talk about Paul Ciancia in the mainstream media, compared to most of the major spree shootings.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it’s because “only” one person died. \u00a0Maybe it’s because the shooting spree was ended before it really got started by good guys with guns.<\/p>\n

Or maybe it’s because Paul Ciancia’s story ties in nicely with the NRA’s line on mass shootings; it’s not the gun, it’s the mental illness<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said on Sunday the suspect’s “mental illness” was a chief reason behind the shooting at Los Angeles International Airport.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, there’s been no dispositive diagnosis yet – but if I were a gambler, I’d go long on “crazy” in this case. \u00a0As I have in every recent mass-shooting incident. \u00a0And won.<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s a problem: \u00a0mental illness data isn’t getting to the NICS system, the national database that provides the “go\/no-go” answers on disqualifications for buying guns.<\/p>\n

The data Minnesota reports, in particular, has gaps in it – gaps that were supposed to be fixed over a decade ago. The DFL – which has controlled the process one way or another that entire time – has dragged its feet on improving the system.<\/p>\n

Most recently, the Metrocrat Extremists – Representatives Martens, Hausman and Paymar and Senator Latz – blocked the “Good Gun Bill”<\/a>, which would have fixed the gaps in Minnesota’s data reporting.<\/p>\n

Before that? \u00a0Governor Dayton – who, let’s remind you, ran as a “Second Amendment Friendly” governor (with a pair of .357 Magnums in a gun safe, doncha know) vetoed Tony Cornish’s “Stand Your Ground” bill, which would have likewise fixed the gaps in the data we report.<\/p>\n

So why\u00a0do\u00a0<\/em>Democrats support mass murderers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
