Mental health needs to be addressed not ignored.

Guns need to be addressed. This is the only country where is regularly happens.

No. Gun violence is common in many countries even where they are all but banned.

Which other countries have regular school shootings and control their guns? Name them. The U.K. had a school shooting in 1996. They banned hand guns. Not a single school shooting since then.

Do you only care when white kids in school get shot?

So you can’t name a country?
I care whenever anyone is hurt. I care massively when it’s innocent children going to school. It’s insanity that we live in a country where this happens over and over and over and we just accept it. Nothing changes. More kids die by getting shot. It’s the number one cause of child mortality in USA. Sensible gun reform would save children’s lives.

Im still astonished that it seems like people only care when it’s white people getting shot. Give me a few to take that in. I remember Dave Chappelle spoke out about this. He was dead on.

How do you know what I care about? Gun control would protect all races. The victims of the Nashville shootings weren’t all white.

Because you fail to mention the the majority of gun violence and hyper focus on a small segment of it which majority of victims are white kids.

This is a post about a vigil for a school shooting. Not a huge shock I’m talking about guns and schools.
I’m ending this here. Have a good day.

But looks like the vigil for you is turning an opportunity for you to try to take away rights for Americans. You brought up the guns.

Ahh the willingness to sacrifice children for your guns
You know, Satan is most impressed with your pride and ego and unwillingness to listen to reason Your pride could put a president to shame honestly
By all means continue to protest and vehemently defend your right to bear arms

No. Ignoring mental health is the issue. Guns have long been around. This new mental health crisis we have is horrifying and needs to addressed. The gun isn’t convincing people to shoot others. It’s mental health.

You’re being downvoted because this line comes straight from the post-tragedy marketing/public relations campaign developed by the NRA

GOAL constantly tries to get mental health stuff introduced, Beacon Hill always kills the bills
Politicians don’t want to fix the problem because he then they have to admit there is a problem. Mental healthcare is the boogeyman to them
They’d rather harass law abiding citizens.
