RE: Do you really think gun control will solve problems? Mental illness says otherwise. (USA)
I read a discussion online wherein one someone argues that it was about guns and not the fact that the killer was a deranged lunatic. I beg to differ. Like you, I believe that this issue can be solved not merely on gun regulation and gun control but should be looked further as a more complex array of issues concerning mental issues
You both are such rational people and I am thankful that we have the same sentiments. I am raising awareness towards mental health. In my recent posts, I made a shirt for our incoming seminar.
It is true that awareness and education is a better means to solve this issue. The world is to complex and be rid of anything that can kill. But the mind is flexible and can be altered. We should capitalize on that instead
That's funny because I literally was just saying exactly what you wrote! If we regulate everything, we won't be able to do anything, life will be miserable!!
People need to understand that behind every problem, there is a catalyst. Guns are not the catalyst but simply just the obvious go to for creating reasoning. Most people have a need to rationalize everything. Calling mental illness (something not well understood yet) feels wrong, because people don't understand it and thus can't rationalize it.
Yes, and this should be talked about. It is not about going around making everything illegal because everything can kill you even too much air. It is about raising society's awareness on the root on the issues that we're dealing with.
