Sure, the issue is mental health, not gun control. Specifically, the mental health of people opposing gun control.

A mentally ill person without a gun is not quite as big of a problem. It's the guns.

Agreed, but we also need more accessible mental health. The unmanageable mentally ill are not accepted by many shelters, hospitals,... they end up in jail and remain unhelped.

So true. Sometimes it is hard to help them. They don't want it. Often it is not recognized even by those close to them. It is, "oh, that is just how they are" and no help is sought.

Locally there seems to be an epidemic of abuse at juvie and adult mental/behavioral establishments. Also many times patients are medicated to please their care takers and while they are more manageable, they do not feel better.

100% true. Happens in nursing homes, too-- medicate so they don't bother anyone. As for juvenilles, at what point do we as a society recognize that most of these individuals, with proper treatment, can live a functioning and contributing life?

Ripped off Ozymandias, did you? Are you saying that the people opposed to gun control need mental help? That's what I took from you're message anyway. If I made a mistake I apologize, if I didn't, you're so stupid that it would be like beating my head against a rock, and expecting an honest answer.

The rest of the world hates America and Americans for this exact reason. It's a choice. America chose guns over their own children.

As a second amendment proponent, I think reasonable gun control is absolutely necessary. The reason there's so much pushback is that so many of those in favor of control also favor abolishing guns from private owners. I hear a lot of denials of this, but every time the subject arises, we hear them.

68,000 people a year Die because the U.S. does not have M4A. So this is two Powerful Women saying basically the same thing, Nancy is 85 years Old and makes $25M on Insider Stock Trading often in Healthcare, the other was forced to Resign by Public Pressure. #DumbLiberals #M4A #Pelosis

I would've agreed with you, completely, be4 January 2025. With the way things r going right now, the last thing any of us want is yet another registry popping up, that makes it even harder 4 us 2 maintain a free society. 1 that is being ripped away from us currently. This is why the 2nd exists.

We should do gun control once we've restored Democracy and have added guard rails. Right now? With fascism knocking? Hard pass.

I've read some history. Guns kept many former slaves free from hanging under a tree. I probably won't require the gun if this gets bad, but some minority will and it'll be life or death for them.

Legit. They all be voting in dictators selling themselves down the river. Let the government rob them of their money and letting guns rob them of their children.
