Sharia law is shit for women. Get real. You realize in most Muslim countries women are completely absent from public life, right?

We actually have the technology that allows ONLY the gun owner to use a particular gun. Couple that with women only being allowed to carry weapons and own guns and voila, 95% of the problem is solved.

We do tend to see killers as having aberrations in the way their mind works. But that’s very different to mental illness. Mental illness has a specific meaning; it means specific conditions of emotional, cognitive and/or perceptual disturbance. They occur in predictable patterns and are often responsive to treatment…

I had an appointment to see my doctor literally two days after the election. When I sat down with her I confessed I really wasn’t doing very well because of Trump’s win and was terrified I was going to lose my health insurance (I’m disabled so on Medicare). She said she was worried for her patients and many of them…

People have been killing people since there have been people. You don’t have to be mentally ill to commit an act of violence.

Thank you! And the DV laws vary (speaking of mental health) INSANSELY and WILDLY from state to state. In several states, just sending a text message saying “sumbitch I’m gon’ whup yer ass next time I see you” can be a DV misdemeanor, but it’s still classified as DV. If we tried to stop everyone from sending a “I’m…

Soldiers kill people all the time without being mentally ill.

I would like to shout in the face of this orange maniac and everyone of the monsters sucking at the NRA teat that it IS A GUNS SITUATION especially if we are talking about someone who is not only known to have been violent with a spouse and/or child as well as an animal abuser- all of these things spell out in huge,…

I don’t think we can single out any one issue. This was a gun issue, a domestic violence issue, and a mental health issue. I am sure Trump can’t quite wrap his feeble brain around the fact that something could be multi-layered, but gasp! it can. The man clearly had mental health issues. His mental issues clearly cause…

What is the brain disorder? Where is the evidence of brain disorder, though? You can’t just say this stuff with no science whatsoever behind it or you just absolutely cheapen mental illness diagnoses entirely.

Problem is, there’s nothing to stop the man from taking the gun and use it against his wife and kids. Several years ago, a gun-toting soccer mom—she literally carried her gun to games—was shot dead by her husband.

Thank you for this point. They’d also have to confront their [false] belief that women are just as bad at abusing their partners as men, that women make up allegations all the time for selfish reasons, and they’d have to pretend to care that women are murdered by men as much if not more than they care that men might…

“We know that domestic violence has a strong and clear link to mass shootings and yet, lawmakers and those in control of public policy point look to find answers everywhere but in the violence rendered against women.”

So everyone in prison for killing their wives for the insurance money are actually mentally ill? You realize humans are evil and conniving and perfectly sane men have been doing this for centuries? Just because you don’t understand how someone could be so cold and violent doesn’t mean it gets attributed to mental…

One of the big differences between a dishonorable discharge and a bad conduct discharge is that, with a dishonorable discharge, you cannot purchase firearms.

Yeah, if this is what they’re going with now, “mental health issues” I want receipts on these fuckers. What was this asshole’s diagnosis: bipolar, schizophrenic, depressed? Who was his doctor? What meds or therapy was he trying? Why didn’t that work?

I used to say it as a joke, but at this point, I actually believe it: men should not have the right to bear arms. You believe in protecting your property and family? Fine, let your wife own the gun. 

On a side note. The failure of Fox News in the UK and the official finding of bias:

““very deranged individual [with] a lot of problems over a long period of time.””

But enough about the President. 

Domestic/partner violence is often treated as an argument that got out of hand. Someone (re: the woman) provoked someone into violence. Everyone just needs to calm down and cool off, he didn’t mean to shove you (are you sure it was a shove? Did you maybe just spontaneously fall down?).
