Terroristic threats when he commented publicly under his own name he was going to be a professional school shooter, for starters.

He wasn�t allowed to bring a backpack to school because the school was afraid he would bring a gun.

He was expelled from school for fighting and behavior problems.

The FBI admitted it screwed up. I take them at their word on that in this instance.

This is a very tricky subject as the reality is that as soon as we make �mental health exceptions� that are more easily enforced it broadens the power of the government to limit the sale of weapons and restricts the liberties of individuals. However, chastise me if you want, but unless you have made a terroristic type threat and are placed on a watch list that logistically limits your rights, I find it unconstitutional for the government to limit the rights of those who have �mental health issues� if they haven�t formally committed a crime. I refuse to give up even an inch of constitutional rights in the name of safety, and I don�t see a way to screen people for �mental illness� that doesn�t come dangerously close to violating someone�s rights.

I think the problem starts with Health Care costs. Who is going to pay for these evaluations & treatments for the ones that really need them. They probably don't come from high income homes.

Just like going to the Doctor with high Insurance deductibles. By the time you go the problem is allot worse than it could have been.

Yep and "snitches get stitches" should never be spoken again.

I do not think their is a way to really evaluate someone at the time someone buys a gun. Who could have evaluated Hitler or Ted Bundy in their early days and never gotten either one of them stopped.

This will be real difficult to say the least. I really do wish their was a way it could be used to stop mass murder in general whether its a gun mass murder or a Ted Bundy or Hitler. We do need a way to stop these people and I am all in if we can come up with a way that doesn't destroy us as a country and our rights. You can not just look at someone or take a comment on any forum and say he or she is a nut. God forbid they come on here and read some of the comments on here. A lot of us may get a visit LOL

Their are people that are just evil and not necessarily mentally ill they are just pure evil and that's what this guy was, he drove himself evil with his constant thinking of evil thoughts till he acted. Their won't be a test to show this before hand. I do not believe everyone is mentally ill just because they do evil stuff which is why most people get deceived by these people, like a Hitler or Ted Bundy. We could come up with a long list of just evil people that could have passed a test because these people tent to be very smart. They are just pure evil.

I think the only way to stop these types is a loaded gun, look what it took to stop just Hitler. This guy had some of the same thoughts as got the German people to stand behind Hitler till it was to late.

Y'all are a lot smarter them me give us good thoughts on how to stop these people and I will stand and help, but I am not giving up my gun in case you are following a hitler and I need to defend myself.

Except for PR (which has no money to spend on infrastructure much less the cra cra) all the gold colored states have high gun totin' populations. So, if I'm to interpret this rightly, these gun totin' states are filled with mainly happy folks thus leading to generally happy and satisfied population not requiring the state to spend money for their mental issues.

Interpreting statistics is a wildly variable art form and far from a science.

take away play stations and bring back parenting and morals would be a start...

Except for #3 in picture.

Don't be frustrated !

Does this include XBoxes too?

PTSA = mental disorder

Mental disorder is a mental illness

That is how it is defined anyway.

How about this:

If you are seeing or have seen a medical professional AND have been diagnosed with a mental disorder or are taking psychotropic drugs for the treatment of a mental disorder, as outlined by DMS coding you may not purchase or possess a firearm until cleared by 2 consenting mental health professionals.

As far as Constitutional Rights , well yes it can. Once one is deemed "healed" then they may exercise their rights under the 2A. Otherwise they are not fit to participate in 2A. Happens all the time. Felons lose rights. These mental ill would not be able to fully participate in militia activities.

As noted by others the US has lots of diagnostic resources.

I would add Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and all the others to the mix.

What about TFF posting?
