But the simple truth here that none of these opponents of gun safety reforms can get away from is that we don't have a monopoly on mental illness, we just have vastly more mass shootings and especially school shootings than other countries. And we know why. It's the guns. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
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
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
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
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
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
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
A word about mental health. I work on mental health all the time in Congress. I cofounded the House Suicide Prevention Task Force. I've written and passed bills. Few of those who talk about "mental health" after mass shootings - for instance, right now - actually care about it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
Educators are supposed to help our kids learn, to inspire them, and help them grow. Our schools are supposed to be places of learning, not fortresses. Teachers should not have to be first responders. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
Something I'm thinking about as we learn more about this shooting: Congress' failure to do anything about gun violence is putting teachers across the country - a profession that is already terribly undervalued - into a horribly dangerous position. It's absolutely unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Something I'm thinking about as we learn more about Uvalde is the fact that Congress' failure to do anything about gun violence is putting teachers across the country - many of whom are terribly undervalued - into an awful position. Teachers shouldn't have to be first responders. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
A fourth-grader at Robb Elementary says "his teachers, Irma Garcia and Eva Mireles, saved [the] lives" of himself and other children who survived the shooting. These teachers were heroes and all of us should remember and honor them. https://t.co/iezhsP6y8T — PolitiTweet.org
