So if you think mental health is the issue, have at it.

Anyone that has ever filled out a 4473 knows that there is a mental health question on there that can prevent you from being able to buy a firearm.

BS. Go read a post by Mudshark on THF. He is trying to get help for a kid and finding there isn't any help.

Speaking from a LEO perspective and from my wife being a Registered Nurse, there is help out there. She works at Parkland. You have to want the help though.

I've had lots of fun with the staff answering this one.


Youre the same guy that lists 911 as their emergency contact number

Sure they can go see a psychiatrist but then what?

So a person passed your Mental Evaluation when they purchased their gun, and stopped living and developing. Mental conditions that cause people to do odd things change over time. So would be ineffective as a tool to eliminate mass killings.


May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

It has nothing to do with civil. When threads turn in to a political debate, they are moved to The Bunker.

A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

I think if people saw something and said something it would go a long way. For instance, lets say this kid was acting irrationally and posting crazy s on the internet and someone reported them to the FBI. They would investigate and possibly prevent this sort of thing. People need to speak up and trust our law enforcement agencies to handle up.

Someone DID speak up and report him, it didn't go where it should have obviously.


What has happed to you does not define who you are-

HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!
