“Spare me the bullshit about mental illness. We don’t have any more mental illness than any other country in the world. We’re not an outlier on mental illness … We’re an outlier when it comes to access to firearms." - Senator Chris Murphy

I am not sure, other countries don't have Trumpism ... which seems like a contagious Plague of mental illness.

We don't have more mentally ill than any other country, just more assholes.

Sue NRA for promoting, encouraging, aiding, abetting, funding & lobbying for the use & sale of guns and consequential killings & sue USA and SCOTUS for unconstitutional harm to citizens under the 2nd amendment. The 2nd Amendment is unconstitutional for promoting violence & death.

NRA a tale of lavish life, hunting trips and racism. This failure is the backbone of the 2nd Amendment and the reason why children are dying. Does it make any sense? Any? Broken & Bankrupt: The NRA in 2021 - NRA Watch nrawatch.org/report/the-cont…

Mass murders, suicides, drug use (legal and illegal), crime, narcissism... need I go on? Yes, the US does have a serious mental health issue and it has its roots in Neo-Liberal Capitalism. You solve the inequality and brainwashing problem and people will not need guns.

We also happen to be a very violent society.

There's more untreated mental illness in the US than in any other western country. There's more poverty and stress due to lack of medical care. Murphy is disingenuous here
Replying to @marwilliamson
Sorry I think its both
