@GeorgeTakei It tells me that we are under attack by the GOP party.

@GeorgeTakei Correct. Access to guns MAKES money for gun & munitions manufacturers. Mental health care COSTS money.

@GeorgeTakei With all due respect, sir, a gun in the hands of a mentally ill person is not any more dangerous than one in a neurotypical's.

@GeorgeTakei I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and guess that you're implying that the GOP would do this to make us scapegoats

@GeorgeTakei but the phrasing, to me, seems to imply that mentally ill people having access to guns is somehow more dangerous

@GeorgeTakei and worse than the people who already have access to them.

@GeorgeTakei In short, it could be easily misconstrued as "mentally ill people are inherently dangerous."

@GeorgeTakei I would like to believe you are above implying such a thing.

@GeorgeTakei Everything I know about you suggests that you are a man to be admired. Please be more careful with your phrasing.

@GeorgeTakei My mental illness doesn't make me a threat, access to guns or not. And I find the implication that it does harmful. Do better.

@GeorgeTakei I've had access to guns my whole life. Never shot anyone. Stop scaremongering all mentally ill people as violent. We're not.

@ai_valentin @georgetakei /1 That’s great for you. Do you agree that access to guns, in general, is typically not the problem in the US?

@715Webster @GeorgeTakei Access to guns is a problem. But not because of mentally ill people. We're not the problem.

@ai_valentin @715Webster @GeorgeTakei Whoa! Facts tell you the mentally ill have perpetrated mass killings. No sane person would do this.

@simplecynts @715Webster @GeorgeTakei Cite sources. Show me diagnoses of all mass shooters on record. Go ahead.

@ai_valentin @715Webster @GeorgeTakei James Holmes, Aurora Theater Shooter.

@simplecynts @715Webster @GeorgeTakei One. Okay. There are thousands of shootings in the US each year. What % are caused by mental illness?
