Just found an article about it. When this first happened I remember reading about what was known about him and they didn’t have any mental health stuff at the time. I guess we need better mental health care, and mental health education. Seems like this could have been spotted a long time before it happened.

Sadly, almost every time.

I think the failure for the laws to change that permitted the coverage of mental health, was the beginning of the end.

We need support of our citizens that don't have a solid family or foundation. Individuals have more stress on them without recourse or support. And access to that, penalizes them as "mental" label.

There are some I've met, that clearly had physical and physiological issues which would flag, "no, they should own a gun" and yet they do. And not just one. Don't even question them about it, or watch them get furious like some deprivation.

Everyone should have a mental health professional, just as anyone has a general doctor.

Wait, you guys all have a general doctor? I haven't had one since I moved over ten years ago.
