You are so right. MENTAL HEALTH is the real issue here.
The real common thread with all the school shootings is young men with mental health issues.
We need to be asking the question of how society can better help these young men. Drugging them and letting them spend hours alone with video games is not the answer. Parents of these troubled young men need help to find ways to mainstream them or there need to be places where they can be housed and learn to do physical labor. Something needs to be done! This issue needs to be talked about.
Instead, once again media, politicals and educators talk about guns.
True. But they aren't all going to be committed. That would cost an enormous amount of money and would mean many legal battles.

If mental health is the issue the response is probably going to involve a lot of interference in the lives of families like this, and that would include restricting access to firearms for such families.
