Whenever there is mass violence in the United States, politicians
are quick to blame people living with mental illness. These same
politicians are often also quick to the cut mental health budgets
and create barriers to psychiatric care for people who are
sick.
In this episode, Gabe and Michelle discuss guns, mental illness, and sex toys — among other important points. Needless to say, they aren’t happy being blamed for the deaths of innocent people, including children. Listen now to hear their thoughts.
