Politicians and most "advisors" lose touch with the American people and thereby rely on "knee-jerk" reactions to events occurring in our country and around the world. Rather than another knee-jerk reaction driven by anti-gun groups, consult with pro-firearm organizations for solutions to gun violence. Do not remove addressing the mental health crisis in this country from the table, as it is the basis upon which the heinous acts of gun violence occur. The Supreme Court has already acknowledged the personal validity of the Second Amendment, so further attempts at restricting possession of firearms and their accessories would be in vain. Work with these groups to formulate a meaningful legislative proposal rather than catering to the anti-gun individuals for payback of their political support
