“I’ve been troubled by commentators who seem to think that taking gun control and misogyny seriously means dismissing the role of mental illness in this crime. Too many people on twitter claim that discussing mental illness “derails” conversations about guns and misogyny, call the issue a “red herring,” or flatly state “It’s not about mental illness.”
Why are all these important political issues being pitted against against each other? Clearly people who care about making the world safer and better need to care about all of them.”
