This is just more bullshit distraction, to avoid the obvious. One industry's CEOs have solely cared about keeping and expanding their markets and profits at the expense of public safety.
The El Paso Police department was at a press conference after the shooting. One police official was asked by a reporter what the public could do to help with mental health issues . His rightful response was, "I am not a psychologist, that is not my field of expertise". That same week the shop owner who sold the weapon to him said, "He looked fine and happy when he picked it up." So please tell everyone here what makes a shop owner a shrink?
It isn't mental illness, it isn't violent video games, and it IS a myth that only criminals get firearms. It is ease of access. The core of our firearm violence epidemic is because the OWNERS of those companies care more about profit than public safety.
If arm more was a solution, then we would not be #1 in firearm violence among our allies.
And once again --
TOTAL FAILURE TO ADDRESS THE SUBJECT.
Just your same tired "quit handing them out like candy" - and no plan to implement that fantasy.
Thaks for playing

Sorry....... I don't quite grok your hypothetical.
If a person has mental health issues then, along side the treatment and therapy and help they shoukd be getting, restricting things for such people for their safety and others seems a 'No brainer'.
Cheers.
It's not hypothetical.
It' s a logistical reality.
How are you going to know when you have all the guns of an accused nutter?
