'Mental health' is a nebulous, nonsensical term that means nothing but because both the left and the right seem to see an issue with homeless people talking to the sky, they can all get on the same page and say "look, there's a problem". So yes, conservatives, as is the case in any kind of viable debate, are going to look for common ground somewhere to work from. And they're going to look at 'mental health' because that's one place where they can get liberals to stop squalling for a minute. Because everyone will agree that this country has a whole bunch of sick ****s in it. But by and large - the folks you're arguing with, when they're not just trying to say something to shut you up, I would suspect have little to no interest in further federalizing 'mental health', no matter how you wish to define it. It ain't their circus and it ain't their monkeys. Your side of the aisle is the one that wants to make every problem a government problem. My side would simply like to get you guys to talk about something else for a few minutes. One of my favorite quotes is a simple one: "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." When it comes to the gun debate - conservatives by and large don't really give a **** what liberals have to say on the subject and don't have a great deal of patience for the debate. We'd just like to get you to talk about something else for about 12 minutes or so.

If the conservative attempt to even find middle ground is to suggest a topic that they have no interest in even reforming, then proclaiming "mental health is the issue we should deal with!" in the wake of calls for gun control is literally just saying "we should do nothing" by another name. Am I wrong? |

I like how Duterte handles the drug problem. Would be a good way to handle the homeless here.

I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific.

If that pairing of mental illness and guns take a turn for the worse, we're very possibly going to have to deal with it.

The funny part is, the liberals would wig out over any substantive preemptive measures to combat this sort of thing as a violation of the batshit crazy person's rights, much in the same way they squeal, piss and moan about the rights of criminals who commit violent crimes.
Instead, as always, just blame the inanimate object. ![]()

What was your cutoff number that changed it from being an option?

![]() I'd like to see us get it down to the levels the rest of the Western world deals with, though. That's the threshold I'd shoot for. |

So get to work, lads. The conversation is over - conservatives aren't interested in having it and frankly all liberals have to say is "common sense gun control" anyway. Meanwhile they can't ever seem to point to measures that would actually impact any of the shootings in question. So just say what you want - confiscation - and set about trying to make it happen. Why continue to flap your lips when we all know that you're just hoping that at some point something gruesome enough happens for you guys to go on your gun grab.
