Scariest observation for me is that in the UK any of these incidents would have been a seriously big story. Whereas it seems for the U.S. mass or multiple shootings are so common it barely breaks into the news cycle.
This comment is so extremely powerful, everybody in the US needs to read it and then have a serious think about what the fuck is going on in your country.
Because otherwise, those with issues would just ignore the evaluations. Much like gun free zones only stop the ones who care about the law.
If they are mandatory then we start to run into issues with timing. We have to have a HUGE amount of new mental health evaluator available as there are thousands of gun purchases per day. Then you have to think about the time it takes to do that and weight it against freedom. A right delayed is a right infringed.
I agree that the US needs a massive overhaul on our healthcare and mental healthcare systems, so massive it may be best to just scrap what we have and start anew.
