Let's re-run your comment for clarity, shall we, Dave?

"*The* problem is not a patient grabbing a gun, *the* problem is them being terrified of people with guns [my emphasis]."

So, tell me again, who's doing the "black and white thinking" here?

Oh, by the way, I see you neglected to supply a source for your breakdown of mental hospital population "statistics". Pretty sloppy (albeit consistent) argumentation.

Grade on your little interchange: FAIL

I am too drunk to drive a car right now, so I think I should definitely be carrying a firearm instead. For freedom.

Well, maybe when one of the mentally ill patients take a law abiding gun humping visitors gun and shoots him with it we can finally go further in the gun conversation. Beyond we must keep guns away from the mentally ill. This is so beyond the normal stupid of the gun humper. Now they are showing they could give a shit less about keeping guns out of anyone's hands. This has shit outcome written all over it.

Thank God no alcohol or tobacco! Do not allow anything that may actually destress someone w severe, panic inducing anxiety and provide them possible access to guns. Whew, when can we all pack and move to Texas, where it is safe!

Would still be a better elected rep than Ted Cruz. Would not get elected as he supports single payer health care
