TFG ,Abbott, and Cruz claiming mental illness as an excuse is a lie,

They know other countries have comparable rates of mental illness, but not mass shooting. They know guns are the problem, not video games. They know their propaganda telling people all their guns will be taken is a lie along with all their other excuses, except guns. They choose to profit and help the NRA profit by helping them sell more guns. I suspect this has ties to putin and russia funneling money to the NRA and to Republican campaigns, and into their pockets.

The Republican Party has been turned into a extremist fascist domestic terrorist group, who will do anything, or say anything, to hold onto power , even watch children getting murdered because of their bring bribed for policy, and greed. The ones with mental illness are those thinking this is acceptable, and think they're Republicans still, and good people. They aren't, they're fascist.

I think they believe some form of "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of schoolchildren."

people would say that clearly someone who did something like mass murder, was mentally ill, and deserved compassion, not judgement. In earlier years that kind of thing was often said here.

I always maintained that the kind of planning that went into any such was clear evidence of sanity.

or to keep them from getting guns?

They know it's the guns. That's why they refuse to even discuss it.

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.”
[IMO, Today's Putin connection. Putin wants the USSR to return. No wonder he does all he can to make it happen.]

Russian Communist leader, Nikita Khrushchev said ......

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.”

We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.

The United States will eventually fly the Communist red flag…The American people will hoist it themselves.

The press is our chief ideological weapon.

I can prophecy that your grandchildren in America will live under socialism -- Our firm conviction is that sooner or later Capitalism will give way to Socialism. Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you.

The John Birch Society is Communism's greatest ally. With its help we will divide and confuse the American people until they have lost faith in their Government, their nation has ceased to be a major world power, and their country is ripe for revolution.

We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.

Democracy is a government where you can say what you think even if you don't think. Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge where there is no river.
