It’s amazing watching the twitters and media pundits falling over themselves once again after yet another mass shooting. Drudge is busy on his anti-gun control nonsense, claiming that it’s all about mental health.

Others seem to echo this.

Yet, when legislation is proposed to close loopholes dealing with the mentally ill, these same people claim that it’s taking all the guns away.

Reports this morning seem to indicate that an AR 15 wasn’t involved in yesterday’s shooting, but that shouldn’t take away from the fact that several recent high profile cases did involve this weapon. The gun rights zealots point to this as proof of something.

Too many guns. Too many with access to firearms who have mental illnesses. Too many with guns who would not be able to get firearms if background checks picked up criminal histories (insufficient background checks).

And then there’s the issue of how this latest shooter was able to get on to the Navy Yard in the first place and what kind of security was in place and how that didn’t catch this guy before he started his rampage.

But to those on the right, the obvious and only problem is this: Obama. The cause of all problems, and the only solution is to block anything he suggests, even if he’s simply repeating the GOP talking points verbatim (as in the individual mandate for Obamacare).
