As a nation we are failing to address two glaring problems regarding violence involving guns:
1. Allocate funding to enforce existing gun laws. Joe Biden quote: "“And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately." So why pass more laws, when agencies are not enforcing existing law?
2. Mental health needs to be a major area of focus. James Holmes was obviously suffering from mental illness, was seeing a therapist, yet fell through the cracks. Paying lip service to mental health is politicaly expedient bull feces. Requiring mental health professionals to notify law enforcement when patients exhibit delusional tendancies and entertain fantasies of violence is a dicey step, but without pertinent information law enforcement is blinded to sick people.
