Just days ago, Nikolas Cruz used an AR-15 rifle to kill 17 people in a high school. He purchased the weapon legally, which would not have been possible if Florida had a gun law like Connecticut's. But Mr. Srinivasan believes our law is no good.
"If it came up today, yes, I would vote differently because I know so much more now than I did,'' he said. He continued: "When I look at it now, I'm realizing more and more that it is the person behind these objects that can be used to bring about the massacres."
Mr. Srinivasan is right in that much more can be done in terms of mental health treatment. But doing more in the mental health area does not mean one must simultaneously remove any other established protection.
