Your signs blaming mental illness don't exactly make me, a multi-time survivor of gun violence & Bipolar person, feel welcome. People with mental illness are FAR more likely to be victims of gun violence than to perpetrate it. I support the march! But I won't be scapegoated.
Healthcare will actually reduce mass shootings, suicides, *and* save thousands of lives directly. And with how DC works, they’re unlikely to do either one as it is, much less both. But let’s push for the one that will actually help the most folks, and will actually work.

My dude, if you're aiming solely for the minimum you think you can achieve, I'm sad for you. Pragmatism is all very well, but this sort of cavilling is a form of denial: you have two problems and need to address both.

How exactly can you address, in reality, 350 million unregistered firearms, and millions more being legally made at home? Not pie in the sky, but actual reality. I’m all ears.

Yes, we need accessible mental healthcare. But you can’t force people to see a doctor or take meds. People don’t realize they are ill. They don’t appear to be. There is no cure or even treatment for many illnesses. We know if we are making/legally selling a certain kind of gun.

So, what does that do? There are over 350 million *unregistered* guns here, and people have been making millions of AR-15s at home for a couple decades now. And will still be able to do it - easily - even with a ban. You can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube.
