Republicans always say we should focus on "mental illness" after a mass shooting

But republicans never do or propose any solutions for mental illness. In fact, they seem to block anything that is proposed. So if they don't want to do anything about the guns, and they won't do anything about the mental illness, does that say they are OK with elementary school kids being killed?

A simple check would show 'mental illness', oh hang on 🤔
That would be a 'background check', we can't be having that!

FREEEEDOMM.... 🤦‍♀️

@Harriet03 This might be the stupedist thing I've ever seen. It's one of the first questions for any license.

I want my IQ points back

@Harriet03 nothing says perfect answer like a cliche drawn by a 1st grader

@Harriet03 A HIPAA-violating background check at that.

@CopperCicada No. Just no. Women sometimes falsely accuse a man of rape. Have we done away with rape laws? That's a defenseless argument.

Yes, backgrounds, red flags and other regulations will indeed make it harder to obtain and keep firearms, as they're intended to do. No one anywhere is guaranteed the absolute right to any weaponry for any reason. This country has mistaken petulance for patriotism lately.

@CopperCicada If you have a felony conviction you can't ever get a gun legally.

For the 100th time: gun ownership is NOT a privilege, it's a right

@Slade YOU NEED TO DECIDE WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT, GUNS OR CHILDREN.
FFS! 🤦‍♀️

@CopperCicada Technically they are unconstitutional, but I know nobody who wants felons and loonies carrying guns.

@Harriet03 Yeah there has never been guns and children existing at the same time.

You are a hysterical imbecile. I just LOVE snarky foreigners who come on to denigrate and dictate how we do thing here. Fix your own declining country

@CopperCicada A felony conviction strips you of many rights and privileges. I'd hope you learned that by now

@Harriet03 do you really not know that background checks are required for all licensed gun dealers?
Slade · 56-60, M
@CopperCicada OK now you are just tedious. Yes laws have been passed curtailing rights for violators but they must pass a huge burden of proof hurdle. Those did.

An argument of scary guns shooting themselves won't wash
@CopperCicada I don't know why anybody bothers talking to that guy. I reported him when he first got here for several racist posts. Poke him enough times with a stick, and he'll say something horrible enough to get him suspended.
