From the Mayo Clinic:

Agoraphobia (ag-uh-ruh-FOE-be-uh) is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and often avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed.

With agoraphobia, you fear an actual or anticipated situation, such as using public transportation, being in open or enclosed spaces, standing in line or being in a crowd.

This is a diagnosable and treatable condition. Often people with this syndrome self medicate with firearms to protect themselves from imaginary dangers.

We must offer sympathy and caring concern for those who suffer from this disease of the mind and agree with the NRA that more money is needed for mental illness.
