We desperately need to change the way we need to address mental health. Again so many people have remained silent when they have witnessed someone with a severe mental health problem. Why, because we have become a nation of Karen's that are only willing to gossip about problems but do absolutely nothing to fix the problem because they are too lazy to get involved! Open your eyes,watch your surroundings and see something and do something! All of these situations have started at home because of a total breakdown of family structure. The problems then head to school where nothing is done to fix the home or school situation. Upon no effective mental health intervention the individual starts into a dark spiral.Fix the family equation, fix reporting of mental health problems, ban computer games that desensitize children by rewarding them by killing ! Children have become de sensitized by such games.Some can differentiate from fantasy and reality and others can't that's the issue. Please think about my thoughts and please try and help the situation. Because these are not normal thinking individuals I'm worried that if we remove there guns as weapons what are they going to use to commit these horrible crimes with next??? In closing I say Mental Health!!!!

People don't typically (328 out of 328) decide, I wanna kill a bunch of people and go get in their car and drive down the street murdering people. It is not efficient.
Instead they say, "I think I want to kill a bunch of people" and they go get an AR-15. (MOST mass shooting that is the weapon of choice) What is the difference? One is large and can get most places where people congregate, guns are designed to kill (some people like to kill watermelons with them) and do it quickly and efficiently and they are easy to get into locations where lots of people are in close quarters.
Yes, the question of WHY that people decided to kill a bunch of people is a better question than what they used. But, in order to figure out why we have to gather information and study it and come to conclusions. We were going to do that, then a party got into office and make it illegal to study gun related deaths - care to guess which party?
