There is a major mental health crisis in this country and nobody is even talking about it.

@fun4us2b to handle our mental health would cost billions more. No one wants to pay more taxes for that

Of course everyone is talking about it! Trump is in the news everyday!
@Lisa82 I guess they consider the loss of life worth it, then. Says a lot about what the country values.

@bijouxbroussard oh the whole reason we're in this mess is because of money.
@Lisa82 That, and a warped sense of what keeps us "safe". 🥺

@Lisa82 It's also the influx of anxiety caused by our newly "connected" culture plus the age old stigmas of seeking help....(vastly oversimplified, but the gist of it) and yes, $2,000 to attend a tennis game, but nothing to eat...the wealth gap is not helping...people talk about corporate greed but, like soylent green, corporations are people.

@emmayoung Many are trying to talk about it and do something, but many others are not able to come to an agreement on how to do it without violating basic rights. But yes, parents and caregivers are needed here.

14 year old has access to firearms and nobody is talking about it

This is the real problem here and with so many other school shootings that could have been avoided if only the gun owner had taken precautions against unsupervised access to firearms. Mental health is a big component too. But the fault in my eyes lies with the gun owner not better securing the weapon. Inexcusable. Punishment should be severe. A message must be sent to all who own guns and don’t store them in a manner which allows only authorized adults from access to therm. 4 lives lost and countless others affected because of one simple reason. Lock it up or get locked up. Simple as…

Okay, lock up the automatic weapons and bring them out of storage exactly when? 🤔

@swirlie troll on voltron.

@RunTheJulz
You're avoiding my question. At what point and for what reason do you bring the assault weapon out of locked storage?
@fun4us2b and a gun problem. I understand you conservatives said no to the entitlements that make people mentally well. So you probably don't really want this solved.

@fun4us2b mental health crisis or is it just the official endorsement from democrats that no reality is too real to deny.
fun4us2b · M
@SteelHands It's been going on for so long that I would say we can't pin on one party vs the other. Columbine was really a Clarion Bell and that was in 1999.....

Are you quite sure? Because I read a lot and don't see the evidence contrary to that observation fun4us2b. I'm talking about how they inculcate nonsense and resentment in children and alternate them from reality.

This is what I see:
DEMOCRATS- having problems coming to terms with your physical body? Deny its real they say. Having adjustment issues? Ask for yourself to be spayed, neutered, and chemically alerted they say. Don't like the gender indicators of your own biology but accept it anyway? Pretend that men have wombs, that (women) womb men can sire, and invent 187 different gender pronouns.
Demand that everyone else is obligated to participate in your perverse fantasy. Let's make a law we can surgically alter a minor child without parental awareness. Let's make a law saying that we can arrest a parent for seeking mental health help, and prosecute psychiatrists that don't confirm and encourage the delusions of a client.

To say democrats aren't doing this is whale shedt of the most gargantuan dimension.

I can't believe you're ignorant of this, actually.

That's always democrats, no accepted republican would try this without ending his or her political career. No republican ever openly advocated denial of basic biology or normalizing violence and abberant behaviors. No republican would ever dare making a law to install menstrual products in boys bathrooms.

That's strictly coming from the left, which is the Kamala wing of the democrat party. No way is this something that can be denied. It might be they're acting on behalf of influential Republicans tho. If so please inform me who they are. The destroyers of that are definitely willing to bring them to account.
@fun4us2b bull. Conservatives like a population with guns and without a welfare state - it's a recipe for harm! And Americans voted only for that. The two parties love it! And so does that Roadkill we call the voters.
