Central Maine Medical Center said staff were “reacting to a mass casualty, mass shooter event” and were coordinating with area hospitals to take in patients.
You do realize people have been getting better at killing each other for as long as we’ve worked out that “big rock on head kill Ook”, right? That’s not going to suddenly up and vanish like a fart in the wind just because you’re scared of, and kneejerk ban, some inanimate black polymer and metal. It’s almost like there’s a deeper root cause to the issue that slapping a bandaid on won’t fix.
Actually you are the one work the false equivalency.
You know why your comparison is idiotic? Because it is comparing a mountain (gun violence) to a mole hill (vehicular homicide). If what you said was at all accurate, people would be using those methods significantly more often in other developed countries. Guess what? They don’t. They are used at basically the same rates as here in the US. The major difference is that those countries have much guns per capita.
So again stop pretending like the comparison is even close to a good one or that you have some sort of gotcha.
Japan and South Korea, for instances, are certainly not known for their great mental health. Guess what they don’t have? No constant mass shootings, no trucks being used to mow people down, no constant fertilizer bombs.
cool false equivalency bro

So according to you just because we haven’t figured out how to stop it we should just throw in the towel, right?
Gtfo with your fatalism.
No, it’s that our efforts should be focused on actually solving the root cause instead of slapping a bandaid on the issue.
GTFO with your strawman.

These “other countries” – tell me, do they happen to have as terrible a healthcare system as ours, or would you say they have a better one?
Ope, found the hole in your argument there champ.
For mental health? Most of them are not much better. Try again.
