2. Mental health as the reason for gun violence is another gunner obfuscation meme.

Millions of people have mental health issues and they don't shoot people.

Blaming mental health for the gunning down of 25 people in church means you don't have to blame guns because we will never be able to tell if a person with mental issues is a potential shooter and you can't open medical records to see who has mental health issues and you can't lock them up for what they hadn't already done, so it is "look at this shiny object over here" not at guns.
