Stop blaming mental health for gun violence. The problem is guns.

4. "done everything legally"

That's my point. Access to guns is far too easy and has been made even more easy since the NRA went full fear mode in the '70s to sell more guns. "Shall issue" is now the law almost everywhere in the US. There is no local intervention in who can buy or even carry a gun in public. Far too often we discover that a shooter has a facebook page or website that spews hate and fully discloses intent yet that is never taken into account when selling guns or issuing concealed carry licenses.

Think about Zimmerman. Four arrests for domestic violence but he managed to intimidate his wife/girlfriend into dropping charges. No convictions so Florida law says he SHALL be sold a gun and given a license to carry it in public. How nuts is that?

We, as a nation, desperately need to bring local law enforcement back in to the loop on gun possession. Zero tolerance doesn't work in schools and shouldn't be forced onto the public for guns because guns are soooooo special.
