1. One possibility:

US exceptionalism.

2. We're #1, Go USA! Go USA! Go USA! Pathetic.

[OhNo-Really]

3. Maybe because their governments are more sane, trickle down and all that

4. The USA has the highest rate of Mental Disorders in the world at 26.4%.

Could explain a lot.

6. Would you please quote gun ownership too?

[democratisphere]

10. Seems to support that it is more than just mental illness

Guns just may be remotely related

[democratisphere]

12. imo.........

Gun control with background checks for all handguns and long guns is just as important as making certain that people suffering from mental illness don't have access to guns.

13. It's a start

18. I really think these kids are going to make a difference.

I have not seen this kind of conviction and determination since I can't remember when.

20. I agree with you! The students are focused with the right message and have an excellent plan

of attack against the NRA and the politicians the NRA owns.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. Bingo!

7. Mental illness is a DIVERSION by the rethugs to move the problem from the real issue GUN CONTROL

[democratisphere]

11. The real issue is gun control with background checks for all handguns and long guns.

Mental illness is not a diversion and it is also not taken seriously enough.

16. I didn't mean to say that mental illness is not an issue in this country, I have a daughter and

two nephews who suffer some forms. So beleive me, I know what it entails as it affects me personally.

What I meant with my comment was that the GOPers are trying to say that mental illness was the cause of the murders i Parkland. Maybe it played a part, but just like Emma Gonzales (survivor of Parkland) so aptly said, 17 ppl would not have been murdered if the murderer had a knife.

17. NRA says it is too soon to talk about gun control after 20 kids killed at Sandy Hook 5 years ago.

But not too soon for the NRA's LaPierre to party with tRump at the White House on the fifth anniversary.

9. So much winning...

15. AMERICA!!

F**K YEAH!!!!

19. I have always said that you have to be crazy to kill someone anyway.

Mental health is just a fringe element. We have always mad mentally challenged people in this country, like ever other country but we have not always had people shooting up schools with hight powered semi automatic weapon.
Have we?

21. Isn't it strange how women rarely massacre anyone in the US

even though women also suffer from mental illness.

[smirkymonkey]

22. Yes, very interesting.

I think these shootings are less about mental illness and more about uncontrollable anger and hatred. There are too many young men in this country that are filled with rage and feel that they have the right to take it out on others.
