Solution to violence lies in mental health, not gun control :: 07/08/2014
"Solution to violence lies in mental health, not gun control. With the recent tragic shootings in Santa Barbara, Las Vegas and Seattle, I believe there is a distinct shift in how many in the media, public square and halls of government are discussing solutions to violence. The quick calls for more gun laws by groups such as the Brady Campaign and Violence Policy Center have shown little results, and I would argue hinge on antiquated rhetoric. As a former street cop, Army officer and member of the state Assembly, I have a unique, alternate perspective based on my years of real-life experience arresting criminals, engaging the mentally ill, handling a multitude of weapons and then analyzing the public policy aspects of gun control."
Note carefully that this former cop, and legislator, speaks about VIOLENCE and avoids prefacing his comment with the word "gun". Too bad he can't get others to see the problem is VIOLENCE, and the instrument of crime is often NOT a gun.
