Mental Health, Not Guns, A Take on Crime Solutions

Mental Health, Not Guns, A Take on Crime Solutions

Summary
Ryan White addressed a proposed special session by New Mexico’s governor for crime prevention after a Las Cruces shooting. He opposes her gun control focus, calling it a rights violation, and says mental health and drug abuse are the true issues, referencing a Clovis machete attack by someone with mental problems.

He lists 2023 deaths: 119,892 from knives, 37,144 from motor vehicles, 71,904 from blunt instruments, and 93,338 from guns, with 60% suicides. White criticizes the governor for not closing the border, blaming drugs flowing freely, and opposes sanctuary state status.

He advocates shutting the border, supporting Trump’s lead, and improving mental health services, suggesting some need institutional care with proper oversight. He cites a Texas case where teachers were fired for mistreatment.

White calls for local control over schools and authorities, arguing state and federal governments are inefficient. He says Christ should come first in the nation, though not all agree, and insists gun control won’t solve issues but will worsen self-defense capabilities.
