Looking at this whole tweet deal I see everyone missing the point Ron Paul is making.
Rewind to the Connecticut school shooting and the argument gun control advocates are using is that weapons area too accessible. In defense, Republicans resort to a debate on mental health and the accessibility of weapons to the mentally unstable.
So Chris Kyle dies as a result of putting a weapon in the hand of someone suffering from a mental disorder. Republicans immediately and totally forget the crux of their argument against gun control in lieu of praising the efforts of Chris Kyle to rehabilitate a soldier suffering from a very serious mental disorder.
Not that I think that blaming the mentally ill is a better defense then a strait argument about the second amendments as a fail safe against tyranny, but if republicans are going to make the argument that murder and subsequent mass murders are a result of the deeds of the mentally unstable they better be willing to stand up for that when one of their own dies as a legitimate result of said disorders.
