ANOTHER mass killing in US
A bit like when Greenwich declared itself a “nuclear free zone”

Ally made the point in another thread, but it’s amazing how a young man on a murderous rampage is either a troubled teen with mental health issues or a terrorist depending on whether he is white or brown, Christian or Muslim.
It is true that since America is not a caring society, mental health issues were the first to be denied funding and instead of having a statistically normal mental health patients population in care they have them running feral in the wild.

Absolutely. But as has been pointed earlier other countries have a reasonably high gun ownership without the regular shootings that the US have. So instead of focusing on gun ownership (which won’t change anytime soon: imagine TM saying something along the lines of “we had a rethink, Brexit is a terrible idea so we’re going to apologise for the wasted time and remain in the EU”. Whilst it would probably be a good thing for the country in general, people would take to the streets, and not just the Leave voters), I tried to see what made those other countries different. And they all have a decent health system that deals with the most vulnerable.
It goes without saying that once you have diagnosed a mental patient, it would be terribly reasonable to stop him from having access to guns but just taking him into care and helping him to manage his condition would already do a lot.
