Meyers to Congress: If You’re in a Position to Prevent Mass Shootings But Do Nothing, You Have Mental Health Issues

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MEYERS: "Please bear with me for a brief moment. As we all know, there was yet another senseless and tragic mass shooting yesterday at a church in Texas and today President Trump said that the shooting was an issue of mental health not, quote, "A gun situation." Hey if what happened yesterday wasn't a gun situation, I have to ask, what would be a gun situation? Look, we know you and most of Congress are soaked in NRA money, and you have no intention of doing anything about guns, but we also know you're not going to do anything about mental health. So when these tragedies happen could you just not say anything either? If we're going to be constantly sickened by mass shootings, can you at least spare us having to be further sickened by your transparent covering for the NRA and the assault weapons manufacturers. Yes, of course, the person who did this person who did this was mentally ill, that is the issue. It is too easy for mentally ill people to get their hands on dangerous weapons. But if you are in a position to help stop that, and you don't do anything, how can you claim your mental health is any better? Thanks for listening, everybody."
