I mean we can address the whole mental health thing and it's lack of affordability. That's certainly one of the causes of America's gun violence problem. But I'm sure you won't like the solution to it

Let me guess, the solution is more government?

Calling me a commie shows you way out of your league here. Adding gun laws doesn't equate to communism.

Sure, when the top 10% of the country doesn't bear nearly the entire country's tax burden, and our government goes through the pain of cutting trillions in waste, perhaps we can talk about universal health care options.

But I'm sure you won't like the solutions required to get there.

Believe it or not properly funded government programs can absolutely work be extremely beneficial to people. But hey can't have that because more government is automatically bad. So let's hear your reasoning since youre so concerned

These people vote with him, so that has to be ignored and any acknowledgement of this fact is, well, you know....

Most of our high numbers come from inner city gangs. Gang on gang violence.
Almost all of it does.

The dawgfans of this world give zero shits about the inner city and would rather curtail the rights of everyone else.

The only time dawgfan cares is when it is a high profile situation like this when it is non-inner city individuals involved.

Great, look forward to seeing you on the corner with your "Make the bottom 50% pay their fair share!" sign

Water works for the billionaires fantastic here's a fact. This country has worked at its best when the top marginal tax rates were at their highest and when we had higher corporate tax rates. Also we spend more per capita on healthcare using the current broken system

Huh??? You honestly think the huge rise in depression, isolation, etc is because it’s too expensive to see a therapist?

There is not an ounce of evidence to support this insane assertion. In fact, access to therapy since the turn of the century has increased massively.

A higher % of people are seeing therapists now than in 1999.

frick you!

There were a couple other kids near me,” Heeter said. “I think he was shooting and he missed. So he goes back into his car and grabs a pistol, then he turns and shoots the lady in front of him. That’s when I just started running.”



This is wild to me and doesn't make any sense. He couldn't hit anything with a rifle so he grabbed a handgun and then shot someone directly right next to him after he had been shooting? LINK

Did I say that was the only reason? No but there's a lot of people with mental health problems that cannot afford care.

Not as beneficial as properly funded charities.

Government is inherently bloated and wasteful - as can be seen in every single government welfare program.

Which is?

There are over 500 million firearms in the USA. You would be a legit certified retard if you think "banning guns" will dent the issue.

Clearly the truth hurts.

You do not care except in situations like this.
