Have you ever seen anyone arguing against mental health help? Only one of the two solutions you mentioned has a bunch of idiot fighting against it.

No, the same group of people fights against BOTH the solutions.

Reagan is responsible for gutting our mental health infrastructure, and Republicans vote against increasing funding consistently.

They won't support restrictions on gun ownership because they say the problem is mental health, but they won't support spending on mental health either. (Most likely because they seem to oppose anything that would actually help people who suffer.)

This last one is a ddg search - you can just pick which article you want to read about Republicans voting against mental health funding.
