    Focused on trying to stop the next one in every way except restricting guns, or funding mental health care, or reducing hate, or… Well anything that takes more than thoughts and prayers.

    What a country.

      The mental health care thing is so frustrating.

      Let’s enact some gun control laws because most guns used in mass shootings are bought legally.

      “No, it’s a mental health issue!”

      Well, then let’s fund mental health services and increase access to them.

      “No, that’s not my problem.”

      Played out again and again. I mean I know it’s all just deflection, but dammit at least try to have a consistent position.
