Why ?We point at both.
Showing the result of a vote is one thing, WHY that vote is that way, is another,Regarding advocating for mental health = nada for repubs as well.

Arm trained, school staff.There must be more than one path to lessen the carnage. Part of the problem is certainly that this individual must certainly have been exhibiting signs of a violent nature that should have been flagged.
I'm in favor of looking at any proposal that might help.
You want to elaborate on why the vote is that way?Showing the result of a vote is one thing, WHY that vote is that way, is another,
So what resistance comes completely from one side?We point at both.
NegativeWe point at both.

I agree! For starters we need to find a way to break down the stigma’s surrounding mental health and make it easier for those in need to seek out helpExamples:
Pointing at politicians with guns in their Christmas cards is not the problem. No more so and then any violent ideation in song lyrics, in pictures across the internet, on social media, and so on.
Flooding the media with indignant commentary about gun owners and posturing as the guns are the problem is an absolute non-starter because guns in and out themselves are inanimate objects.
The focus is and should be and always has been the person with the mental deficits who goes unnoticed, or more relevant these days does in fact go noticed but no one speaks up.
I think we're past stigma...mental health awareness is all around these days. It's the ability to speak up when so eone utters a threat.I agree! For starters we need to find a way to break down the stigma’s surrounding mental health and make it easier for those in need to seek out help
. I grew up in a family who owned guns. Hell, when I was in High School many of my classmates had gun racks in their trucks. Guns were never a problem.
yes, they did - so if you report them - to which Tenn had no provisions to do so - aren't you " coming to get their guns" the favorite saying of the gun lobby to get you sheeple to buy more guns ? amiright?So a person who was mentally unstable KILLED those 6 people. He/She made the decision to load, aim and shoot the gun.
It was suggested that ar-15 type weapons be kept at gun ranges since they aren't a hunting weapon nor as effective as a shotgun in home defense. Most people claim they " are fun to shoot" amiright?What reform would you suggest? I want universal background checks and strict enforcement of laws related to private sales. If someone sells a gun without a background check and a crime is committed...they are complicit in the crime.
I wouldn't mind an Ammunition Purchase license as long as it didn't involve a mechanism to trace gun ownership, but simply acted as a way for someone to buy ammo for a weapon they own.
Patton said last night that she called authorities after informed by the shooter he/she was going to dieYes. Apparently the shooter told a friend and the friend told no one. These politicians should be pursuing this person like they attempt to pursue parents and so on ..
Joey is doing exactly that and making jokes of itThis is another data point that proves our pols don’t INTEND to SOLVE problems. They NEED this stuff to cull and divide. They milk it, speak all around it, and keep it viable. Lots of examples of this practice.
That's a good enough reason to have the red flag law. Too bad all states don't have that these days.The focus is and should be and always has been the person with the mental deficits who goes unnoticed, or more relevant these days does in fact go noticed but no one speaks up.
Ok - I keep hearing that argument, so gun lovers have no problem asking the cops, armed with a revolver, to go up against a military style assault weapon in the hands of a suicidal person - correct? (Obviously outmanned. )I think we're past stigma...mental health awareness is all around these days. It's the ability to speak up when so eone utters a threat.
I can say with 100% confidence if someone said within earshot of me they were going to do x y z to that school over there....I'd be on the horn to the cops Instantly.
BINGOI agree! For starters we need to find a way to break down the stigma’s surrounding mental health and make it easier for those in need to seek out help

Tenn has Cops, you know like the ones that shot the he/she shooteryes, they did - so if you report them - to which Tenn had no provisions to do so - aren't you " coming to get their guns" the favorite saying of the gun lobby to get you sheeple to buy more guns ? amiright?
COPS HAVE AR-15'sOk - I keep hearing that argument, so gun lovers have no problem asking the cops, armed with a revolver, to go up against a military style assault weapon in the hands of a suicidal person - correct? (Obviously outmanned. )
BTW why do you gun owners hate cops so badly, they feel the right to have these weapons supersedes the cops right to go home safely each night, your right supersedes the rights of the kids, the anti abortion activists desperately fought so hard to be born, for them to go safely to school each day? If being a cop means facing some crazed wannabe rambo then who wants the job ?
So I get this straight, report the mental issue and then listen to them scream " they are taking my precious guns "\. So who is this " judge" of who is mentally stable or not, who is getting ready to have a bad day. lose their job, find a cheating spouse and go off on the public? You must want more govt control and prying into our personal lives - how else would we find these mentally unstable people ?
I believe the stigma’s are still prevalent. I do agree, that there needs to be a better way to speak up, and be heard.I think we're past stigma...mental health awareness is all around these days. It's the ability to speak up when so eone utters a threat.
