42. Public Health Solutions, Sir, Tend To Include Restrictions On Dangerous Substances

A fair analogy would be poisons, which are difficult to purchase, and which when contained in articles in general use, are festooned with warnings making quite clear their deadly potential.

Another element of public health in this regard would be a rational assessment of the balance of dangers incurred with protections intended, when people purchase weapons for 'self defense', which often enough end up as the means of suicide, or of accidental injury.

Indeed, a proper focus on mental health in regards to fire-arms would be to focus on treatment for the variety of fantasies and delusions which haunt the minds of many convinced they 'gotta have a gun to protect me and my family'....
