New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that he wants to create a database that would list everyone with a mental illness.

Cuomo listed the database as one of four things he wants the federal government to do in the wake of mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, suggesting all Democratic presidential candidates should pledge to do the same.
