Ok, then explain this to me: If America’s gun violence epidemic is due to mental illness, but other countries don’t have the same levels of gun violence, then how can Americans *not* have more mental illness problems than other countries? It’s almost as if the root cause is not mental illness… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I did realize that @ChiGoose is making a point that is correct but of no importance to most of us. He is concerned entirely about gun violence, not overall violence. I won't argue with him because on the topic of gun violence he is correct, but that does not even discuss any real problems in society. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you specify how exactly the crime bill created gangs? What is the connection between the crime bill and the ease of obtaining guns? Didn’t Trump’s First Step Act solve all these problems? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
