Most of my family are liberals.
I also know of two local cases in the last couple of years where families had unsuccessfully tried to force mentally ill relatives into hospitals only to see them commit truly horrific murders within weeks or days of going to court.
One was found with the victim’s head in a bag and the other was found with the victim’s intestines wrapped around his neck. Neither case involved a gun.
Very striking examples of how broken our system is for dealing with the mentally ill. If only we had a truly effective government that could develop ways to humanely treat people like without taking the civil rights of the rest of us.
But that's why we have to get rid of guns! Imagine how much worse the murderers could have hurt the victims with a gun!
