Gun control would make mass shootings a thing of the past.

It has to be trans people, or mental illness, or SSRIs, or one of those other things that every country has, because it can’t possibly be the guns that only the US has.

They (white people) use mental illness as an excuse, a lot. And, I agree with a lot of it. Mental illness plays a significant role in such events. But you know what solves a lot of mental illness? Universal Healthcare. But... they don't want to do that either. Might fix stuff.

They’re not trying to fix anything.

It’s even worse than that. Read this book. The racism is deeply rooted in rural America, and especially among lower income white men. LBJ was right. These people would actually rather die than lose their white privilege or be covered by Obama care with black people.

When Missouri removed gun permit requirements and allowed for immediate purchase of firearms, the white male suicide rate skyrocketed.

The endgame is feudalism. You’ll either be an overlord, or a serf, for whom every penny earned is speedily extracted by the overlord class. When you can no longer work, you die. Universal healthcare allows poor people to leave shitty jobs and implies poor (and especially Black) people have value.
