Pablo Torre: ‘I Just Wonder If Anybody Plausibly Believes that Solving Mental Health Is More Plausible’ than Banning Guns

EXCERPT:

TORRE: "Yeah, look, mental health in America on this planet, obviously a crisis. We should be investing and exploring ways to actually address that. I just fail to see how that is a more useful direction for the American attention than actual practical solutions to gun control. You may think that gun control is very pie-in-the-sky concept that is politically not viable, for all the obvious reasons, having to do with special interests in America and what Donald Trump thinks his base is like. I just wonder if anybody plausibly believes that solving mental health is more plausible than making a difference when it comes to, for instance. PLACA, right, which is the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which is a question that I return to, that act, when I think about why isn’t there litigation, why aren’t there civil suits in the way that ensue following massive tragedies involving cars?”
