Yes. And part of bettering mental health care in America is restricting access to automatic firearms. It's not normal to be so obsessed with these things.

Not really, we need to restrict access to guns. Not make them more available to people with mental illness as is a popular idea with some groups of people.

access to proper mental health care will solve many problems including gun violence
restricting access to guns won't solve as much as you think it will

Australia had less suicides after they took common sense measures against gun violence in the 90's.

Was it something Jen said? Didn't get a chance to see it.

She quoted the "it's believed he had mental health issues" line from the article and responded with "he must have been white." Presumably, somebody particularly fragile marked it for being racist, as opposed to being very obvious commentary on how the narrative around mass shooting tends to blame broad demographics when the shooter belongs to a minority (see: the transphobia surrounding that one in Nashville), but infer "mental health issues" or "troubled individuals" when it's a white dude.

The problem is mentally ill people with guns (at least as pertains to mass shootings). You're never going to be able to fix all the mental illness, so part of addressing this problem has to be controlling people's access to guns on the basis of their mental health. There also needs to be better mental health care, which I think goes without saying, but this idea that there's no point in addressing access to guns while working toward that goal is obviously nonsense.

How many mass shootings does Australia have, for comparison?

Not having Australia's age demographics immediately to hand to confirm, I have absolutely no difficulty believing that a majority of living Australians were over 15 in 1990 (meaning they're currently 47+), meaning a substantial portion of that statistic incorporates violence from before gun control was introduced. Not exactly the most useful figure for the point you're trying to make.

Violence that results in dead people is quite notably different from violence that doesn't result in dead people, and there's a pretty strong correlation between the likelihood of dead people and the tools used.

Thanks yea, that was kinda lame...but after coming to Gfaqs for over 20 years, it's expected at times.

Well it's been less than a year since I started getting randomly modded for completely unjustifiable reasons for "hurting righties feelings"
