> I guess I don't understand why it's OK for the anti gun rights people to use this horrible tragedy as a means to further their political agenda, but it's not OK to talk about mental health?
Everyone is talking about it. The two concerns (mental illness and gun control) are not mutually exclusive. Given the personal experiences you describe, it is obvious that the mental health system isn't working nearly as well as it should be.
> The truth is that there are many things in that article that are 100% true
That may be, but it doesn't follow from logic that 100% of the things in that article are true, or that the conclusions drawn are valid. The article is an opinion editorial, and not an objective inquiry of any sort. The author spends an awful lot of time and energy suggesting that gun control would cost too much time and energy. How many children did it cost in order to save time and energy?
"Focusing on gun control does more than squander the time and effort of our public officials and state resources and town police forces, it distracts us dangerously from the real work that must be done."
It doesn't say much about the author that he is distracted by the challenge of looking at more than one variable at a time. I seem to have no problem with it. It says even less about him if he is intimating that the populace is so challenged while he is not. How pretentious.
I wonder how much higher this author would advocate the debt ceiling be raised in order to cover the costs of the things that he suggests must be done. Perhaps cutting taxes is the answer - along with defunding Medicare and Medicaid. After all, it is FOX.
Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people.
