re: #218 Political Atheist

Something separates a mass killer of children from most of the rest of us. Total up all the serial and mass killers and see what % of the human population that is. The fact we have so little idea of what that something is points a red arrow at knowledge needed.

Again, hand in hand with reducing the ability given new gun regulation goes the idea of reducing the number of killers. Flip this over-Who would argue that is a bad idea as long as that work is in parallel with reducing the means?

Why not both?

I have no problem with both, but that’s not where the right is headed with this, they’re trying to deflect.

If they’re serious, then the GOP should insist that the Dems immediately sit down with them and begin working to come up with proposed legislation & a budget that will make better mental health care & diagnosis a reality. Presumably, the gun manufacturers & NRA would happily support this and even be willing to contribute generously to such a great & much needed effort.

Do I need to mention that I won’t be holding my breath? //
