both "Second Amendment rights" and mental health are red herrings. Think instead on why so many of us are so alienated from ANY sense of community. We are incessantly propagandized toward the consumer culture and "dog eat dog" every man for himself, divisive Capitalist ideal. If it doesn't have a price, it has no value. Restoring a sense of community, and our commonality is our only chance to survive.
When I was in Primary and High School, 85%+ of the fish and meat that we ate, came from nearby woods and streams. Not from sport, I grew up on Blind Aid and Welfare, in rural Louisiana. So to say I am conflicted about "Gun Control" is putting it mildly. By the way, I no longer live in Louisiana, as it became apparent to me early on that willful ignorance was the preferred lifestyle.
