I keep hearing “The guns aren’t the problem; mental illness is the problem.” Then why do you want the problem to have a gun?

So do those who say that also conclude that the US suffers a much higher degree of mental illness than other industrialized countries?

I’ve heard that it doesn’t, but I can’t give you sources.

No, it doesn't. But that's not the conclusion you reach if you take their claims about mental illness as the cause of gun violence to its conclusion.

Frankly, I’m certain that gun violence causes a great deal of additional mental illness.

Democrats are going to win because citizens can vote when they 18. Most YouTube channels don't support this age group. youtu.be/_dLNzyyRP1A?...
