Only politicians can inject politics into every aspect of our reality, and ignore the many factors that contribute to that reality. They excise any truth, no matter how obvious, and paint a different reality. We need to control the sale of automatic military weapons, yet we need to identify mentally ill individuals who would use those weapons to inflict mass murder. One side speaks only to gun control, the other side is only concerned with the shooter’s mental status. We all suffer as a result. We need a third party straightforwardly determined to act on all fronts.
