You have me confused with someone else, I never said anything about mental healthcare. We definitely need better resources for all Americans to get help with that if they need it though.

I’m opposed to gun bans because Freedom is more important than anything else, especially Security Theater. Banning “assault weapons” amounts to only Security Theater because only 3% or less of homicides in the USA involve rifles including “assault weapons” so it would not help anything but a possible small fraction of the overall violence. When you add the current small impact that they have on the overall amount of violence with the logistic nightmare of enforcing bans, and the unlikelyhood of any bans surviving Supreme Court review, it amounts to a hill of beans that accomplishes nothing except losing voters who value their liberty.
