No. You can't have this.
"Keep guns away from people with mental health issues."
Yeah, right. That'll solve the problem and we won't have to take the guns away from all those law-abiding, responsible people without mental health issues.
That was sarcasm, by the way.
Please read this post.
Short synopsis:
1. There is no definition of "mentally ill" that can usefully be employed to prevent mass shootings.
2. Focusing on the "mentally ill" issue is a GREAT way to increase the discrimination against, and suffering of, the nearly one in five Americans who at some point live with mental illness.
You want mass shootings to stop?
Enact a comprehensive firearms control program. Provide the funding to implement it.
Yes, we're going to keep having this conversation. Because we're going to keep having mass shootings until we do it.
I am tired of mass shootings. I am tired of having this conversation. But I will never stop having it until we deal with it effectively.
sadly,
