@zecuse @justanotherjo @johnnysilverhand @Alchemist_Final @augieray @zecuse thank you for providing high quality information. That's what should drive these decisions! @Jo. Your account is brand new. I'm not gonna mute you yet. I'm very dubious about the "mental health" argument that is always trotted out. Unless you provide high quality information to back up this "mental health" argument I'm gonna assume you're talking out the side of your neck and villifying yet another maligned minority. 6 comments
You're not engaging in good faith. I ask you to seriously, and honestly consider if your position is based on verifiable facts (like @zecuse took time to share) *or* bias and "othering" AKA bigotry. If you find you need to do better, then turn off the Newsmax and become informed! Maybe we in the US *really* need *free* bigotry cessation counseling?!? The common denominator in all of the following attacks since 2000 is hard right: othering, bigotry, racism, homophobia, etc. Temple B'nai Israel Oklahoma City Attack, Death of Sean Kennedy, Knoxville Unitarian Universalist church shooting, Jacob Robida shootings and manhunt, 2009 shooting of Pittsburgh police officers, Murders of Raul and Brisenia Flores, Assassination of George Tiller, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting, Wichita Falls shooting, 2010 West Memphis police shootings, 2011 Tucson Shooting, Murder of James Craig Anderson, Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting, 2013 Los Angeles International Airport shooting, Overland Park Jewish Community Center shooting, 2014 Isla Vista killings, 2014 Las Vegas shootings, 2014 Pennsylvania State Police barracks attack, Charleston church shooting, 2015 Lafayette shooting, Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shooting, 2016 Minneapolis Shooting, Comet Ping Pong shooting, 2017 Olathe, Kansas shooting, Murder of Timothy Caughman, @justanotherjo @Gumption_Trap every major developed country has mental health issues. It is the access when people (white males mainly) snap that is the issue. Remove the access to deadly weapons If you canβt understand that then you are a #nra hack |

Why is the mental health idea so hard to grasp? The first thing people go to when this sort of thing happens is gun control, but why did they shoot people? Something caused them to snap. Maybe they were bullied, maybe they have anger management issues, maybe it's abuse. Sure, you can tighten the gun laws, but that won't fix the reason they snapped and killed people in the first place. when it take 2 years to get an appointment, how can we help the ones who are seeking it?
