Qasim Rashid, Esq.I’m convinced Republican politicians don’t actually believe mental illness causes gun violence. But they do it because they just know that demonizing people with mental illness has no political consequences and also that doing so buys them enough time to feign outrage until the next mass shooting dominates the news cycle.
robert daniel pickard@QasimRashid Also to use it to deny gun rights to groups like transpeople under the guise of 'mental illness'. The same way they freaked out about groups like the black panthers arming themselves.
