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.
Can’t you understand that stopping human beings from doing bad things, is much easier than introducing a few sensible regulations to reduce the risk if they do. Perhaps somebody should just tell these people to behave themselves from now on? I bet nobody has thought of trying that.
