While mental institutions of years past look like torture chambers in the eyes of today, lack of mental health care is rampant and is threatening everyone. Doctors medicate, then move on to the next patient, pushing drugs with horrible side effects, and simply turning the patients out with the hope that they'll do as they're told and take their medicines. This lack of oversight has allowed for an increase in displaced and homeless persons with varying degrees of mental illnesses and now in more recent times criminal activities. I do have some problems with the government tracking all of my purchases, be they guns or toilet paper, and we do have a lot of laws in place making it difficult for some to get weapons. However, we need to implement these laws and not forget that guns aren't what are killing people- Cain slew Abel with a rock... There will always be a way.
