“Guns are the means most of these people are using to fulfill their deranged desire.”

And even if you were to remove the guns out of the equation totally, these sorts of people can use trucks (like in Nice, France in 2015) or vans and fertilizer (Oklahoma City, 1995).

As I see it, mental disturbance is a key factor in driving people to kill en masse.

Unless you're a terrorist there is no logical reason to shoot a bunch of unarmed civilians going about their business peacefully. So pretty much your brain has to not be firing on all four.

Of course we can connect mental illness to mass murders. The trick is to know which handful of the mentally ill are going to commit mass murder and prevent it.

Millions of mentally ill will not commit mass murder, so as is true in these situations how do you build a system to find the needle in the haystack without infringing on everyone’s privacy rights.

"The investigators found that 67% of the suspects displayed symptoms of mental illness or emotional disturbance."

A few decades ago, students conducted an experiment. They had themselves evaluated by psychologists. Nearly 70% were diagnosed as being mentally ill.

"In 93% of the incidents, the authorities found that the suspects had a history of threats or other troubling communications."

They, on the other hand, are called criminals by conservatives. Liberaltines call them sweet kids who are only misunderstood.

Here. Have fun. Enjoy the slide. I'm tired of losing (not winning).

The Community Mental Health Act of 1963.

They are not untreated. All the school shooters and many mass murderers since the 90’s have been on psych meds. See my recent posts if interested. FDA should restrict ssri’s from males aged 13-29. Pharma and doctors are morally liable in these kilkings

I believe ALL the young White men that have done this are on Ritalin or Similar Prescribed Drugs!!

I really feel for those who have tried desperately to get help for mentally ill family members. Something needs be done to insure they get needed help.
I personally know families in this perdicament.

But red flagging the mentally ill as sanctioned public policy for national security reasons— especially if non-family members can phone it in — can & will be quickly weaponized to suit a political agenda.

Wake up, people.
The left has already branded Patriots & pro-lifers as “Nazis” and “extremists.”
Thousands of Stalin’s opponents were branded “mentally ill” & locked up in insane asylums, not so very long ago.

Ridiculous. Sickiatrists create these killers. More power for shrinks will only make the problem worse.
