Letter: Listen up, NRA: Going universal is the best way to boost our health care

I am not a member of the NRA, though I have guns and like to shoot. Although I usually disagree with the NRA on most political issues, I thoroughly agree with their current effort to focus attention on the country’s mental health system, or lack there-of.
