Repeal the Second Amendment.

I do not believe this would get any traction and would just lead to endless legal battles. Only lawyers and firearm stores benefit from this. Firearm stores because people scramble to stock up on everything to get grandfathered in.

I would much rather see our governments both state and federal provide

- more health services for people. Physical health first and then mental health to shore up any gaps as the two are very tightly related. This must include testing of the endocrine system and finding root causes of imbalances rather than throwing pills at the symptoms.

- higher taxes on unhealthy foods and other habits including dangerous prescription drugs especially those prescribed off-label.

- significantly higher scrutiny on prescription drugs, especially anything that affects the brain and anything off-label. This should include more health programs to get people off these drugs via healthier lifestyle choices.

- removal of financial incentive for medical professionals to prescribe any drugs.

- better security where firearms are not permitted thus preventing groups of soft targets. e.g. approach a mall, school, theater, etc... and security already know if you are armed

- better legal protection for people that lawfully conceal carry and better protection for those that defend others against unstable people.

- mandatory advanced training and psychological testing of those that conceal carry to include scenario based active-shooter training. Training must be renewed every five years and this becomes an endorsement on the state-ID or drivers license.
