What makes you think none of them major in psychology ? Someone does fill those positions, a lot of them ( therapists) require a masters degree
Does gun reform stop people being followed into their apartment, being thrown on the tracks or having feces stuffed into your eyes? To me, a gun would stop most of those scenarios.

I am so fed up and amazed at the number of people (primarily women) who, whenever they read about a horrendous assault on the street or in the subway respond with "my thoughts and prayers are with the person who committed the crime. No one seems to think of the victim of the crime.
You have made that nonsense up out of thin air. Tell the truth: you have NEVER read that.

I did see one idiot woman last year who got punched in the face for no reason spew some far left nonsense about why she felt bad for the person who punched her. But otherwise I haven't heard any victim say anything along those lines.

Maybe it would've. But I don't think the Founders imagined a city of 8mil++ residents living in super tight spaces on top of each other like ours. Fights break out over wrong food orders, or someone being touched by accident. There's real desperation out there. Some are just not mentally fit to possess any type of weapon.

I think that the founding fathers of this country didn’t envision psychotropic drugs being given to children to combat depression- a problem really caused by malnutrition coming from very low vitamin D3 and B vitamin levels, social media and the breakdown of the family and of all things spiritual. Unfortunately, a certain level of gun control is required- but not to the excess that NYC has it. So for instance - yes do the background check, but no, don’t keep charging people 340 dollars to renew a pistol permit when they have clean background records.
