Yeah, I haven't read it though.

So the mental health thing in the United States is really, really worrisome.

Because when I talk about – obviously we have a big gun violence problem in the United States of America.

And I talk about mental health because obviously that's a part of what's going on here.

It's what they say is, well, every other country has mental health, meaning advocates of strict gun laws say every other country has mental health problems, but they don't have the same gun violence problem that we do.

It's actually not totally true.

If you look at like SSRI prescriptions, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, it's like Prozac, that category of mental health therapeutics.

We take something like six times as much as our peer countries economically.

So clearly there's something wrong.

with mental health treatment in the United States that is very, very broken.

Really?

Man, that's crazy.

You mean like prescribed?

Yes.

You're talking about people who smoke weed.

I made this argument at the debate.

The idea that you can gun regulate your way out of this problem is ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

Because we have so many firearms in the United States of America that even if I bought into the gun control argument, you're never going to be able to get sufficient guns off the streets.

Right.
