Great piece and Twitter clips. The recent 4 mass shootings in California, 2 gang related and 2 in close proximity to Lunar New Year point out that gun laws can not fix mass shootings as many are due to increasing mental illness issues. After the PTSD created by the pandemic and our response to it mental illness has risen further. Add to that the lack of support for investigating, arresting and prosecuting gangs. That is where the governor should be focusing his attention. A rigorous mental illness program that includes inpatient as well as outpatient care might even help with our burgeoning homeless population. But mental illness does not fit the progressive political narrative.
