This won't work. Do you want more unmedicated people with guns?

People with mental health issues wouldn't ever seek care if owning a firearm was linked to healthcare. Now we're stigmatizing mental health treatment.

We want people to get care and be managed so they can live a normal life.

Time to donate some blood I guess. *sigh

Hey, that makes sense.

I was seeing "political" and misunderstanding it.

That's terrible, bee-hive yourself, pls

I'm sorry, but the ability to defend myself and my family isn't a hobby. It's what gave my mother the ability to fend off a guy with a knife last year. You want her to fight him off with her bare hands in the parking lot? I had a friend who was almost gang raped by three men in an alley. She now carries a giant gun in her purse and you want her defenseless?

Not everyone has the luxury of police around the corner or to see guns as a hobby like you do. Especially the population of "children" you're referring to. Let me shed some light for you.

The fact is that these stats aren't a majority school shootings. These homicides are male inner city black ADULT youth who are given the worst cards in life and they have gotten zero attention. This is gang violence politicized.

The pandemic hit this population hardest and the facts show it here. Look at deaths from ALL types of things and it's gone up in this particular minority population. It's disheartening because it's been like this for decades and people are thinking it would be solved if only you could remove the guns.

The appropriate response is (if you're not already) supporting programs and services that help people who are suffering from poverty and mental health illness. Not making my family and friends defenseless.

Edit - My mother wanted to add that she also peppered sprayed the guy the week before. He came back.
