I'm a bit simplistic, but it seems to me ...
If only good, accesible mental health care was as easily available as guns, we might all be a lot better off.
@StephanieResists So true. If the shooter is white they do. If the shooter is black, they just use 'thug' or whatever, no mental health defense. All of this, all of it, stems from this inability to really LOOK at what's going on.
I've suffered gun violence and fought for better and more sensible controls for 42 years now and sometimes I feel like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall.
We need less hate. THAT is the crux.
