guns should be regulated like this |
I know most people will disagree with my opinion and that is ok. I expect that. I am not saying take away all guns, I am saying take away assault weapons from John Q Public and max capacity magazines. These should only be available to military and law enforcement only.
Hunting has always been part of this culture here in America. I am not calling for a total ban on firearms. we need a pragmatic approach to gun control. We need the NRA to be what it is meant to be not an organization that tries to block all kinds of gun control, but be big enough to realize that we need measures in place to keep guns out of the hands of people that want to do harm to our children and innocents and empower law enforcement to get the bad guys.
More guns is not the answer for this debate. It is far from the right answer.
Mental health is the red head step child of the health world. We need to be in discussions now about mental health and what is causing this string of violence. Mental health is an easy target, but we need to know how these people tick and sets them off and we need to understand what happens. These people need to be nurtured and know there are people who care about them. We as a country need to wrap are arms around this and get to the root of the problem with mental health.
