The context we are considering here involves acts of political violence in a democratically based nation. In that context, mental illness includes anyone who believes that killing someone for political reasons is justifiable.You’re taking what I said out of contest again, but we’ll overlook that. You’ve repeated it twice so there’s really no point going forward.
I do congratulate you for being the first of the Radicalized to bring mental illness into the conversation. Our definitions will differ in this context, but as others have pointed out…my guns have never, not once, shot me or any person.
The mentally ill, and your side have a HUGE hand in their illness, are unfortunately 6 for 6 in the high profile assassinations.
Those mentally ill people should not be allowed to possess guns. I believe that anyone threatening homicide in social media should be flagged, reported to law enforcement, and immediately removed from the social media platform. If a media platform owner repeatedly does not comply with this requirement, that media platform should be shut down.
As for other forms of mental illness that do not involve homicidal or suicidal tendencies, they are not relevant to this particular discussion. Your opinions about the sanity of Democrats are no more valid than opinions about the sanity of Republicans. Violent people are not representative of the overwhelming majority of Democrats and Republicans who play by the rules.
Recent political violence has been aimed at members of both political parties, not just at Republicans. President Trump, Charlie Kirk, the Hortmans & Hoffmans in Minnesota, the Pelosis, Mike Pence, and Governor Shapiro are some examples of the high-profile targets.
