26. As always the devil, if it is present, will be in the details.

If those details promote institutionalizing irrational fear of and undue prejudice against the mentally ill, I'll oppose it.

I am not a gun-owner or a member of the NRA. I am familiar with the statistics.

I do believe the 14th amendment should still apply to everyone.
