3. The issues are so complex

... the answers are going to be equally complex.

I don't even have a clue ... my best friend of 45 years (we met the summer before kindergarten) killed herself almost 2 years ago ... I still can't wrap my head around the horrific illness that consumed and eventually killed her. SHE WAS NEVER A DANGER TO ANYONE BUT HERSELF!!

As far as idiots claiming that "you" are going to be a murderer (or are the fault of societal ills/ violence) ... remember they have an agenda .... an agenda to blame anything but guns for gun violence. They count on people suffering from mental illness to be "quiet" ... and their idiotic assertions are meant to stigmatize mental illness further to insure you will be quiet.

IF THERE IS ANY COMFORT ... READING THROUGH THE THREADS .... MOST PEOPLE ARE SICKENED AND DISGUSTED BY THOSE TRYING TO LAY THIS AT THE FEET OF PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS.
