[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can’t mental health our way of this. We can stop certain guns from being manufactured. We can smelt guns used in commission of a crime.
We can improve the background check system 
We can restrict ammunition.
We can offer buy backs 
We can ignore long winded a holes who look at pics of Uvalde and their only response is smug condescension. 
We can do it.[/quote]

The right wing and gun lobby have been using "we don't have a gun problem, we have a mental health problem" as a dishonest deflection, because THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM EITHER.

We absolutely can and should do all of these things you mention.  AND start addressing mental health as well.

It's also utterly bizarre that the right wing complains "wE cANt AfFOrD NaTIOnAL HeaLThCArE" too when we ALREADY spend, on average, more than twice per person what modern industrial nations with excellent socialized medicine spend.  We can't afford to NOT do it, and the rampant untreated mental illness is part and parcel of it.[/quote]
