I agree with you, it IS about BOTH guns and mental healthcare. It just seems like all we're hearing about is the gun part.
Whenever I hear about a shooting, I never think about the gun issue first. My first thought is, what would make that human think it is OK to hurt/kill another human? What is going on in their head? What led them to feel this way?
It takes human intention to use a gun in the manner it was used at Sandy Hook. The trigger didn't pull itself.
I also don't like how the media is making it sound like these mass shooting are common. The truth is that they are very, very rare.
Thinking that getting rid of guns will end these types of incidents, is like saying that getting rid of marijuana, cocaine, and poppy plants will stop people from using drugs. herpills
