After Minneapolis, Vice President Vance and Melania Trump are out there trying to shift the topic from guns to mental health. But as usual, the rhetoric is the opposite of reality—Trump's drastic Medicaid cuts in his big, ugly bill will greatly impact mental health services. trib.al/kmStLpp

Every country has deranged, mentally challenged people. We don’t hear about mass killings at the scale as in US. Why, they can’t access guns easily like we do here. It is the guns, stupid.

Look at his children. Does anyone look like they have been raised well with family values, decency, respect and kindness. Grifters, liars and nepotism? Of course not.

They may want to focus closer to home.

I hate that they always blame mental health issues while actively fighting against anything that could possibly address mental health issues.

Both have mental issues. Maybe they'll get the help they seriously need.

Both are equally at issue. Thanks, GOP, for gutting mental health care funds and research, and giving up the safety of Americans to the NRA.

The thing everyone misses though is you don't need the NRA to do that. Remember these guys?

They are gross. They do not care about our kids. They prefer to sacrifice them on the altar of second amendment "rights".

They’re going to be linked as long as the mentally unfit are allowed to have access to them. If republicans keep dragging their feet and don’t get with it then it’s going to keep happening.

If Vance wants to talk about mental health, he should start with his boss.

It's a smokescreen that works every damn time. I already see the liberals ignoring the destruction of our public health system. They're instead screaming for Trump's personal armies to be the only people with guns because guess how gun bans work?

Mental health is an issue in every country. Only an anti-American person like Vance would say otherwise. The difference is easy access to guns.

Right, it's not like the issue is exacerbated at in this country... apnews.com/article/publ... I know! We'll ask Trump to send the National Guard to enforce gun bans! They'll make us safe and everyone will call him a hero instead of tyrant! Great idea liberals!
