Great thread @VikingsGuy (hope you are doing well)
The problem is binary so the solution must be as well. We have crazy people and we have guns. Both parts of those issues need to be addressed and most like to focus on the one thing that is not "their" problem - that will never work.
Stop making arguments for mental health programs at the hands of the government and then turning around to pull the 2A infringement argument. If you are advocating for others to have their mental health infringed on by the government, your 2A rights get it too.
Stop making arguments that gun control is the solution and thats why people do these things. The gun doesn't fire itself and each of these attacks takes a monster to think it, plan it, and execute it.
We need to do a better job of screening/caring/rehabbing those with mental health issues, we also need to make it more difficult for folks to get access to guns they do not need / should not have.
Please also stop with the "this only affects law abiding citizens" - it affects all of us and it should.
These guys were all law abiding citizens*** when they obtained their guns....and then they weren't:
Adam XXXXX > Sandy Hook
Nikolas XXXX > Parkland
Stephen XXXXXX > Las Vegas
Salvador XXXXX > Uvalde
Just to semi-name a few....
*** satisfied the state/federal requirements to buy a gun
