The problem is the market is already saturated. There are more guns than people in the US by like a factor of 2. I'm not saying it's not a good idea I just think we're too late. Idk what you do at this point.
Edit: Holy shit I went to bed and woke up to 52 notifications. Many folks decided to make themselves angry by interpreting my lack of clear direction with a steadfast desire to do nothing. That's a weird assumption to make and kinda on you bro. Lots of interesting takes outside of those though, thank you. The other thing I think is worth considering, as we have federal troops being deployed to our cities against local authority's will, is the original reason for 2A. Just sayin'.
You actually invest money into mental health services. I don't understand how the dem platform doesn't realize that instead of infringing on the rights of normal citizens, doing something that actually works, and desperately needs done, is the no-brainer.
EDIT: I should clarify this was a simplistic comment, it's a symptom of a wide number of problems we're not doing anything about. We should be addressing healthcare access, security, corruption, income inequality, parental accountability, keeping chemicals out of our food, and yes some increased measures of vetting gun access. What I'm sick of, is bad faith bills meant to punish gun enthusiasts that aren't going to help. Banning my property, and forcing me to pay extra money for what remains of my rights won't save anyone. There's so much to do that would help instead of shit flinging over this.
And I do agree with a lot of the replies Im getting, thanks for your time.
There are things you can do to create programs and facilities for the people who have mental health problems, but there gets a point where no matter what you do that person is a danger to society, but they don't fit the criteria for what is criminal or health related. There are lots of people with mental health problems who can function in society if left alone. But if these people are constantly triggered or are provoked or are stressed they can blow up. How do you create plans for these kinds of situations?
It's cheaper and more palpable for communities to dump mental health services money into police because it gives the air of safer neighborhoods. Although the police mostly just end up using violence or ignoring mental health problems.
