Support stronger gun control to screen out individuals with severe mental illness.
Why is this important?
My petition would be about gun control, particularly the ease with which mentally ill people get weapons. We need a much stronger screen for a person's mental state. I am concerned because I have a severely mentally ill person in my family who periodically has hallucinations about plots against him. I think mental health professionals could develop a stronger screening program to block these individuals from gaining weapons. When I hear about mass shootings I don't think hate crimes, I think mentally ill people with weapons.
