I sent a letter to my congressman and both NYS senators concerning pending and upcoming legislation of firearm controls just now. I said we have a mental health problem, NOT a gun problem. I also said I’d like to see it so if someone’s seen a psychiatrist or has been on any psychotropic drugs such as anti-depressants in the last five years that they be evaluated before being to purchase a firearm.
Mental health affects far more people in this country than firearms ever will, unfortunately.
