    In my opinion no one should have the right to own a firearm. But since that’s impossible in america, I’m all for restricting it.

    I’m not allowed to purchase a firearm in my country because I have a disability that often causes fainting and seizures.

      America has a gun problem and they are going to start blaming people who have sought medical treatment (for the children). They aren’t going to go after people who should probably have medical treatment for mental illness through rigorous screening. These kinds of policies cause people to hesitate when they should seek mental healthcare. A big example is police. They are afraid to ask help because they could lose their job. It’s a bullshit policy that does nothing to help the situation and puts blame on people who aren’t the problem.
