Keeping people with mental health problems from having guns...

5. Drain the swamp - Cure mental illness

* Provide treatment for good health for everyone, including the mentally ill. No right to healthcare is conflicting with the right to not shot.

* Remove stigma from mental illness. The mentally ill are less violent than the non-mentally ill. It is nothing to be ashamed of if one needs help here. We need to say there is nothing truly wrong with a person just because they are ill; not genetically, not spiritually, etc. There should be no obstructions to treatment; money or social.

* We need to de-normalize the effects of mental illness that can and do lead to violence though. Paranoia, isolation, black and white thinking, etc. There is plenty of 'neurotypical' institutions and norms which sadly normalize the most damaging effects of mental illness... reinforcing xenophobia, confirmation bias, binaries, and more.
