Texas Governor Abbott has stated that war weapons in the hands of civilians are not the problem in his state, but mental health is. If you look at this chart you can see that Texas is among the states that spend the least on mental health care per capita along with Idaho and Alabama. So yes, there is a mental health problem in Texas--allowing high velocity, semi-automatic rifles to be sold to anybody over 18 is crazy.
Need US Person point out that other advanced countries have mental health issues; those are not unique to Texas. What is unique is the easy civilian access to semi-automatic weapons designed for military use. [see map] This tragic situation is directly reflected in mass shooting statistics in which the United States leads the world. USA! USA! USA!
