Stop Blaming Gun Violence On Mental Health

The US has had mental health issues for centuries. There was plenty of PTSD from WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Until the last couple of decades, no one was walking into schools and churches to commit random, indiscriminate mass murder. So, let’s put this “mental health“ red herring to rest forever. The US had a gun problem and an anti-social anger problem. The anger problem stems out of a “me first“ culture and is flamed by right wing values and propaganda. The gun problem comes from the greed of firearms manufacturers and the terrified paranoia of people who feel that aren’t safe unless they are armed to the teeth. Nothing will change until we face these truths.
