One thing that stood out to me was this part:
"Noting that many of the recent high-profile shooters had clear mental problems that should have been addressed, Trump proposed fixing our nation’s broken mental health system by increasing treatment opportunities for the non-violent mentally ill, but removing from the streets those people who pose a danger to themselves and others."
Having a family member who had mental issues, it was frustrating to deal with in the current system. Because they won't allow someone to be committed or forced into treatment untill they are proven to be a danger to themselves or others. Unfortunately, that often means a horrible crime is committed, usually with a gun. Then they get committed permanently.
I am not sure what the fix is, but it needs to change. The answer is NOT changing the gun laws, but getting mentally ill people help.
