Gun violence is a mental health issue, we need to treat the person, not the guns. If a person is deemed mentally unfit, we remove them from the guns, not remove the guns from their house – that process is ripe for abuse – witness the “game” of “swatting”. Falsely calling the police to report a violent crime out of a revenge motive has occurred and innocent people have been killed. We used to have wings of hospitals devoted to mental care, but The ACLU sued and won freedoms for ill patients. Now we have a homeless problem. Constitutional Carry is the best proven way to prevent more violence.
