The United States has more guns than people. Fascists love guns.

You are correct, no one actually cares about mental health

We lose around 50k people every year to gun violence and that includes suicide. You care about mental health? Do you care about human life. That is more people than an armed conflict every year including thousands of children.

Suicidal thoughts come and go. Having access to quickly end your life increases the chance you will act on it. This is not really up for debate as it has already been proven.

There are enough armed Americans to have prevented this fascist take over. More guns in more hands would not have changed any of that.

i firmly believe that everyone in the united states should receive gun safety training. there's just too much chance around here you will find yourself in a situation involving a gun, and you need to know how to assess and neutralize the the threat in the event that someone is acting without discipline.

No. In the US, a huge amount of the population is armed. It’s a whole lifestyle and one of the hallmarks of being American™.

That didn’t stop the fascists. Now there are just shitloads of armed fascists.

e: I’d really like my downvoters to either ask me your question or tell me why I’m wrong.

Mental health is a problem. But we can look at mental health problems for other similar nations and still conclude: damn, these people shouldn't be able to get a gun so easily.

I am pro gun. But our laws around guns are just asking for the brain broken white supremacist to go shoot up a school/church/grocery store.
