Pretty much recooks all of the left's anti-freedom talking points... its all the mentally unstable, evil, minority hating white people killing everyone with their big scary guns... yawn. U.S. gun culture diagnosed as a social diseaseby: Albert Bender, September 25 2012 ... First, the U.S. is awash in firearms. There are roughly 300 million guns in American households (per capita a gun for every citizen - this is the highest concentration in the world).
Second, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has a hugely powerful lobby that has been able to stop nearly any national debate on the issue.
Third, the U.S. has a history of hideous, omnipresent racism that has spawned a proliferation of hate groups among some white Americans -- citizens who have a very deluded, paranoid sense of victimization.
Fourth, massive inequality and poverty, long present in communities of color, has started to impoverish the ranks of hitherto comparatively prosperous Euro-Americans.
Fifth, there are 58 million Americans with significant mental problems (1 in 5).
Sixth, there has been a severe decline in mental health facilities (for this we can thank President Reagan: as California governor he systematically closed mental hospitals, and later as president he cut aid for federally funded community mental health programs).
Seventh, we have an arms industry, opting for profit over humanity, that makes billions each year on the sale of arms to hate-filled racists, the mentally ill and the general public... peoplesworld.org/u-s-gun-culture-diagnosed-as-a-social-disease/

"The U. S. has, by one explanation, an ongoing gun culture because it is a nation founded on the genocide of one race - Native Americans - and the enslavement of another - African Americans. Guns were needed to slaughter one people and to subjugate another. Hence, the tradition of gun possession became embedded in the American psyche."
A twisted and perverted view of history if I ever saw one...

Oh, let's play "Stop the Tape!" with this, and watch the fun begin...
First, the U.S. is awash in firearms. There are roughly 300 million guns in American households (per capita a gun for every citizen - this is the highest concentration in the world).
She says it like it's a bad thing...
Second, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has a hugely powerful lobby that has been able to stop nearly any national debate on the issue.
No, the NRA has stopped nearly every advancement of the Communist Agenda - to The Left, that's shutting down debate...
Third... citizens who have a very deluded, paranoid sense of victimization.
Weather Underground, Black Panthers, NBPP, La Raza, MeCHA...
Fourth, massive inequality and poverty, long present in communities of color, has started to impoverish the ranks of hitherto comparatively prosperous Euro-Americans
Yeah, all those prosperous Euros in Appalachia and the coal fields...
Fifth, there are 58 million Americans with significant mental problems (1 in 5).
Wow, I didn't realize there were that many registered Democrats - did they count the dead voters as well?
Sixth, there has been a severe decline in mental health facilities (for this we can thank President Reagan: as California governor he systematically closed mental hospitals, and later as president he cut aid for federally funded community mental health programs).
Well gee, Rastus, Federal tax dollars should not go there, these are states issues - that nasty inconvenient 10th Amendment, ya know...
Seventh, we have an arms industry, opting for profit over humanity, that makes billions each year on the sale of arms to hate-filled racists, the mentally ill and the general public
Which she'd conveniently group as one entity...

Huh... I must be missing out on something. I never did get my White Guy Racist Group membership card.
Seems most of the "significant mental problems" in this Country involve Leftist dumbsh*ts like this little idiot...
