RE: Gun Violence [Response to Parkland Shooting]

in #life6 years ago

If the laws we currently had was enforced we wouldn't have these issues. these laws you guys are asking for are already on the books. Assault rifles are already banned, without a specialized permit. And it is nearly impossible to get. Mental health services and reporting is where the cracks lie. This is what the demand needs to be for. Bringing back funding for mental health services, and fines for the medical industry for not reporting mental health issues that should ban one from getting their hands on a gun legally. That still will not stop the theft of weapons from getting in the hands of criminals or the mentally ill. But it would stop how easy they get into the hands of those people.
The other issues is psychotropic drugs use in children. The one things these shooters all have in common is the use of psychotropic drugs. We are the only country in the world that gives them to our children. The rest of the world has banned them in the use of children, because of violent outbursts. American's also consume 85% of psychotropic drugs. You have to ask yourself is there a link? Specially since these school shootings by kids didn't start happening till after the of usage of these drugs in our children and the mass closing of mental health faculties.
