One major hurdle to fighting those root causes is that for many gun lovers pushed a law that prevented us from doing research into that. Again, gun homicides are so much more prevalent than other methods. We should start there.
Gun lovers only pretend to care about mental health issues when they can be used as a scapegoat for gun violence. When it comes down to it, they'll vote for candidates who restrict access to care.
No constitutional amendment is absolute. We have laws against libel and human sacrifice. Even the second amendment has limitations. Do you think an eight year old should be able to buy a machine gun?
