Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have recently realized how damaging this is
Linking "mental illness" with these mass murders.
It really does those actually suffering a big disservice.
It's wrong to do.
Keep mental illness care in a comprehensive health bill discussion.
Keep mental illness out of mass murder talk. It's a right-wing talking point to protect their weapons of war. A distractive blame game.

That's why rw is mostly blaming video games/ To blame mental illness is putting a target on their idols head and they are doing their best to hide his responsibility for the increase in white nationalistic killling.

This is a way to dodge the real issue: guns.
