Mass Shootings: Guns, White Men, And Mental Health
Mass shootings are a part of life for U.S. residents and they can occur anywhere — from churches to schools to stores — no place is free from the threat of violence and domestic terrorism a mass shooter brings.
And, after every shooting, there is the argument between “left” and “right” politically leaning individuals on what needs to be done.
Well, not really.
People on the right say, “thoughts and prayers to victims but if you think guns are the problem you sound ridiculous”. Or they say we need to look at mental health because that is the issue, not the guns.
After today’s Walmart shooting in El Paso Texas, some are already making sarcastic jokes attacking individuals, rightfully angry that nothing has or is being done to prevent mass shootings, for having the “ludicrous” idea that access to guns needs to be addressed.
