minus-squareTheHarpyEagle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·9 months agoThe 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.
