They don't really care about mental health, they just use it as a dodge to take the focus off guns. Look at it this way: every country in the world has people suffering from mental illness. We don't have 100 times more mental illness in America. What we have is lots of guns. — PolitiTweet.org

They scapegoat people who commit a tiny fraction of our country's gun violence. In the process they scapegoat people with mental illness, which is awful. If you look you'll often find these exact same lawmakers vote AGAINST mental health resources, and even vote to cut them. — PolitiTweet.org

Mental health IS a real challenge. I talk about it often. I talked about it during the House Sit-In to prevent gun violence that John Lewis led six years ago. Over half of US gun deaths are suicides; over half of suicides involve guns. Our gun problem fuels our suicide problem. — PolitiTweet.org
