I believe that addressing mental health is the key to preventing future mass shootings, but I also believe that any policy proposals regarding mental health and firearms should be watched closely to ensure that they do not unnecessarily broaden the types of conditions that would serve as disqualifying factors for possessing a firearm, or the ease with which the government can categorize a person as having a disqualifying mental defect.
