http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38365729Today, in Japan, in the wake of the Texas church massacre, Trump fails to mention firearms, instead he
invokes mental health as the root cause of the tragedy. At times like this, a cold, hard look at statistics would
seem to make sense. In 2014, the United States had 33,599, firearms deaths, while Japan had 6! Yes, 6! I
wonder if he asked Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe what it is that they are doing right. Surely it's not
that their aim sucks in Japan!And in a cruel but all too predictable Trump budget, he proposes that the National Institute of Health incur a
20% budget reduction in mental health research. You couldn't make this shit up!Peter T.
