But TBH, I’m glad this discussion is taking place. Narrowing it as a MENTAL health issue is just stigmatizing mental health even moreThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Why don't we treat guns like autos? Test for proficiency before granted a license, special training/licensing for operating big rigs, require registration and insurance. Yes some people will still break laws, but do we take away traffic lights because some people run through red?
