That issue has rushed to the fore yet again in the wake of a mass shooting, this time in Maine, where at least 18 people are dead from the gun of a suspect with a history of mental health problems.While Republicans have long pointed to mental healthcare rather than gun control as a solution, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has taken it a step further in calling for the return of mental institutions.
Mental institutions were a feature of 20th-century American life before being mostly shuttered in the 1980s. Calls have been growing on the Right in recent years to bring them back. "I urge Republican lawmakers in Congress to fulfill their duty to protect the American people," Biden said in a prepared statement."Work with us to pass a bill banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, to enact universal background checks, to require safe storage of guns, and end immunity from liability for gun manufacturers."
"Right now, 80% of our mass shootings are mental health related," Haley told Fox News personality Sean Hannity."So think about that: 70% of those shootings, the shooter is suicidal. We’ve got to start acknowledging what this all means. There’s a lot we can do."
