“You
know, every time we have another one of these mass shootings, the gun control
debate rises to the surface again.”

“Nope.
But I’ll guarantee you, some gun supporter somewhere will start screaming,
‘Guns don’t kill people! People kill people!’”

“But the strange thing is that when one
of these mass killing events happen, the first thing these killers reach for is
a gun. You don’t ever hear about someone killing 10 people with a toothbrush.
Or a balloon. Or Metamucil.”

“Well,
they might do it with Metamucil. Ever taste that shit?”

“Shut up, Big Bird. Now the next thing
that will happen is some gun supporter will start screaming, ‘SEE! This shooter
was MENTALLY ILL and that’s why he shot those people. He needed HELP! We need
to do more to stop these WHACK JOBS!’”

“All
of that stuff is true about the need for better mental health services for
people, but doggone it, the government has done little or nothing to ensure
the poor have access to mental health services that they would need to keep
from going on a mass shooting spree. If anything, the government has cut
funding from programs such as those so in a lot of cases, there are no services
available, so in effect, the government is increasing the likelihood of more
attacks in the future.”
