I love John Oliver n have since he was on Colbert show. He’s hysterical! But everything he said was true. It’s sad n wrong that these mass shooters get called mentally ill. Really not helping to destigmatize mental illness! And politicians don’t give a crap about it. They just want votes.
what I found surprising and sad is how the gun supporter seem to deny some sensible gun laws by simply saying, “ya’but, the mass shooter had a mental problem.” but, what about the nearly 100 gun deaths a day? since that is spread throughout the country, the significances disappear. imagine if the news blared every night, “there was yet another mass shooting tonight, 92 people died.” perhaps real change could begin.
and if you believe this article, most of the gun deaths are suicides (60%), wouldn’t society be at least a wee bit better of one option could be taken off the table. i’m not saying this move would end suicides, just hoping to slow people down enough so the fog might clear.
lifted from the article:
using the numbers from the article, the 40% reduction in suicides would bring the gun deaths by suicide to nearly on par and the gun deaths by homicides. at least that would be a start.
I agree. We do need change. What I found amazing was that a lot of these programs pay for themselves!?! Govt programs almost never do that! Why isn’t that being shouted from the rooftops?
It is a complete clusterfuck!!!
sadly, you can say that again.
But like he said, saying that is kind of an insult to clusterfucks lol.

This is hysterical! It’s so rare that you can actually be educated on an important topic while laughing as hard as I did watching this! Great post my friend 🙂
