From the article Hatty listed...

“We are in the middle of a mental health services crisis here in Connecticut and across America,” Bye said in a statement. “This is a serious problem which requires a serious, long-term solution. Until that solution is crafted, however, we must do everything in our power to ensure that those people who have a desire to cause harm to others cannot do so with a firearm. It is our responsibility to act now to prevent future gun violence, and it will be our everlasting shame if we do not.”

Taking firearms out of the hands of responsible gun owners is NOT the way to handle the situation! All they will succeed in doing is disarming victims, instead of handling the real problem, which is hoe to handle the mentally ill, and how to assist the caregivers of the mentally ill.
Hatty, I donated what I could, which isn't much at the moment. I'll send more next month.
