Absolutely. I think we have a serious mental health crisis happening in the country. Especially in my communities—marginalized communities—it's taboo to speak on the subject.
In this particular case, in the areas I grew up, I witnessed quite a bit of domestic violence. In some cases, there were firearms involved.
My answer stays the same in that I believe that if this person had some type of intervention or preventative measures, if we invested more in our mental health programs and had more access to them and were better able to identify when somebody is in crisis and respond to that, it would be more poignant as a solution, rather than focusing on how we take the weapon away from a person. I know this from experience.
You can take away the weapon, but if the motivation is still there, a person who is motivated enough will find a way. Let's focus on the motivation.
