Other countries have same rate of mental illness as us. The difference is assault weapons aren’t as readily available (or available at all). Mental health can’t kill 9 people in 60 seconds. Neither can a knife. An AK-47 style oozie does.https://twitter.com/bronk34/status/1158141406935957504?s=21 …

And by the way—it’s not even accurate to reflexively scream mental illness. This person was SYSTEMATIC. He drove 600 miles, wrote a well-written manifesto (although factually flawed) and uploaded it before his killing me. This was someone of sound mind who planned and knew

Exactly what he was doing. The ROOT of what makes these people deranged is NOT what is killing so many people in so little time. The root of mental illness or psychopathy is the DRIVER. The ASSAULT WEAPON is the VEHICLE.

Jordan... You're making sense... That's like speaking Martian to them.

Yes, you are making sense. And notice how the

You are wrong. “the US makes up less than 1.43% of the mass public shooters, 2.11% of their murders, and 2.88% of their attacks. All these are much less than the US’s 4.6% share of the world population.” https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3238736 …

I don't even own a gun and I don't support the NRA. Talking about mental health isn't a "talking point" it's common sense. and btw, we as a country, and chew gum and walk at the same time. It shouldn't be "either or". Fix mental health AND gun laws.

It's a talking point. Almost every
#gunnut I've exchanged tweets with brings it up. They avoid answering questions like: 1) Why does better gun control work so well in other countries? 2) How did "well regulated militia" get perverted into every jack-hole can buy a gun? - Show replies
