It’s like anything, regulating it is safer than pushing it underground.
If we lived in a civilized society we’d all have healthcare and they could require x amount of counseling or requiring some kind of waiting period and we’d likely see a drastic decrease in heat of the moment incidents.
People wouldn’t risk most “at home” methods if there was an alternative that required a slight postponement.
And if it self identify people who desperately need mental healthcare, we’d likely see a decrease in mass shooters as well since most are suicidal and feel they have no exit. If they expressed interest in a program with mandatory counseling, lots of innocent bystanders as well may be saved.
We need to start thinking about what really helps and not just going with gut feelings.
