Oh, yeah, that was George Bush and Haliburton. I forgot. . .
You have failed to provide any nuanced positions either. Stop painting with a broad brush. You're better than that.
I gave you some general points but I'd hope you'd know that I have more detailed thoughts than that.
Placing every mass shooting at the feet of the mentally ill is unfair and lazy. This kid for instance was a racist loner looking to kill black people and start a race war.
While mental illness may be partly to blame, our countries inability to come to terms with its deep rooted racism, violent gun culture, and total apathy and inaction towards these problems is America's problem.
I agree with Dal, those clamoring for gun rights, and those claiming religious persecution for that matter, blaming the mental health of Americans as the sole reason for these things, are only trying to deflect the truth. This country has a problem with white, racist, gun toting mass murderers.

It's not just "white, racist". Far more deaths are committed each year by you average citizens. Not your racist whites and racist blacks.
Claiming this is a white racist problem is as lazy as blaming it all on mental health.
Stop taking it so personally. I never said it was "just white racists". I said we have a problem with white, racist, gun toting mass murderers.
Obviously "domestic violence" has cost 1000x more lives than all terror attacks put together...

If you wanted to be intellectually honest you could say we have a bigger problem with gun toting gangster ** black guys killing other black guys. Racist mass murders are pretty damn rare. How many have we had in the past ten years?
