Republicans dont want to do anything about mental health. They just say that whenever theres a shooting to deflect away from gun control. Notice they never offer up ideas on how to deal with mental health.

Offering ideas on mental health would be more effective if the other side didn't scream "That's offensive!" and try to shut down discourse because it wasn't politically correct.

...who does that? Democrats want to make it easier for people to access health care and that includes mental health care.

Can we get an example? Because I can provide plenty of specific incidences on the GOP cutting funding for mental health programs.

From another thread:

Everyone's obsessed with death.

But also our government is corrupt and healthcare (like mental) is hard to get for a lot of people. The system just beats people down and makes everything seem hopeless and the worst just end up snapping.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_Health_Systems_Act_of_1980

This was probably the start. Jimmy Carter set up legislation to give mental health facilities grants. Ronald Regan repealed it. A lot of horrible shit can be linked back to that piece of shit Reagan.

Then there's a certain political party that's drumming up hatred and fear amongst a certain segment of our population, who end up going on murder sprees.

No, that was resisting a trend that had started 20 or 30 years before.

tl;dr
Around the late 50s or early 60s, the left insisted it was "inhumane" and "exclusionary" to involuntarily commit the mentally ill, and the right didn't want to have to pay for it anyway.

My favourite part about your mixed up country is there was a brutal shooting in Las Vegas, nothing is done to curb gun violence. NOFX cracks a joke about it, they get banned for life.

Y'all need to wake the fuck up and do something about your love of shooting each other.


This has to be some of the most disingenuous bullshit I tend to see in these topics. Either from legitimate ignorance or willfull trolling, or a mixture of both. There are hundreds of gun laws in place, from how they're purchased, to where they can be taken, and how they must be stored to get from place to place.

Just think about it. 400 million guns in circulation already. There's a reason why outright bans are considered stupid; it'd be creating a potential black market the likes of which only seen during prohibition. And we all know how that played out.


I didn't say they should ban guns, but maybe make it fucking harder to purchase one. It says a lot about the state of your country where y'all end up giving more of a shit about what a band says than aactully doing anything to curb the goddamn gun violence.

Mental health reform and a strong look into the socioeconomic issues we have in the states would go a long, long way towards bringing down gun violence in pretty much every form.

For perspective, half of all shootings are suicides.

This is a new terror group.

In the Middle East it's fighting over religion and in America it's fighting about race. There's no difference.

This isn't about mental health. These are extremist who can't be reasoned.

Were fed up with this shit. No other country has problems like this. We can stop this but our leadership refuses to do anything. Its frustrating. If we cant talk about it now then when can we? 2 mass shootings in less than a week and our president is too busy praising a politician getting robbed. Its fuckin nonsense.

But they keep doing it. People itt even spreading them around.

Stop doing that shit


Yep, people never learn. They're so morbidly obsessed with terrible things.

Okay so am I at times, but not when it involved actual murders....

We really shouldn't give a shit about shooters.

Name: Asshole

Nationality: Asshole

Political faction: Asshole

Reason they shot people: Because they're a fucking asshole.

All we need know about them is when they were stopped and, if alive, when they were sentenced to death.
