determinations of mental illness sufficient to forbid gun ownership are difficult to obtain.
Which is why it’s not enough to just call this a “mental health” problem.
It shows the insufficiency of the existing structure to address mental health issues. So you change that structure. And you focus on helping troubled students if they’re not necessarily prone to violence.
And you stop selling these kinds of guns to people. Any people.
By “these kinds of guns” you mean semiautomatic rifles? Not handguns, as the teacher had?
