More mental health professionals like her need to stand up and makes their voices heard.

s. So, a ban on bump stocks, semi-automatic weapons, or assault rifles appears to be reasonable, but there will be unintended consequences.

Reasonable is used far too much as 'common sense" Banning semi automatics is NOT REASONABLE

It's interesting that she doesn't address the issue of "mental health".

Comparing the war on drugs to the firearms industry is absurd, it's plain stupid.

The individual who gets up in the morning and decides he/she needs to kill some people, needs to be dealt with in advance.

Take all the guns away and they will still come up with another way to make the headlines, for sure!

Actually, I think she did, but it was not the main point of the article. I took the last paragraph as a swipe at the leftist idiots that push for gun control, rather than solutions to the actual problem; alienated people.

To be foolish also means to be imprudent. It is imprudent to expend time and money arguing about gun control laws, because it distracts us from the source of the problem, namely the shooters themselves. Some of our youth are so disturbed, isolated, or detached from their fellow human beings, that they perceive violence to be an acceptable solution to their problems. Let’s focus on changing that, and fighting the battles we can win.

Addiction to narcotics is a mental health and an economic issue, different but similar to guns in the way that car ownership and guns is similar but different as well. This lady I think did a nice job of showing that even if all guns are banned (what the progressive left wants) we'll still have gun violence and probably more of it. And just like in Prohibition, alcohol flowed smoothly just with less quality control (bathtub gin) and more violence (there likely would have been no mafia or it would have been much smaller if Prohibition hadn't happened). Putting a prohibition on guns will just start up basement workshops that will sell to the gangsters and nacro-lords to enforce their turf. Meanwhile, the underlying mental health issues of many of these mass shooters and school shooters will go unexplored and untreated.
