nearly 1 in 5 americans suffer from mental illness...they give these people drugs then trust that they will take them. problem is those drugs often have awful side effects, when they get feeling better they think they can go without them...the american medical system for treating mental illness is a mess, often times many fall though the cracks with no follow up-even though mental health professionals are aware these people pose threats to themselves and others. I would be willing to bet that alarge percentage of the mass shooters were at one time being treated for serious mental illness.
it is my opinion that if a mentally ill person wants to kill he/she will find a means to do so, take away guns and they will resort to other methods....it is an easy out to blame mass shootings on guns, the real issue is treating mental illness which is a much harder thing o do than blaming guns...to blame guns is just passing the buck!!!
also---the mentally ill are also vulnerable to being manipulated by radical islam which makes promises of vengeance against their 'oppressors' and glory which the mentally ill would find appealing imo.
Crazy will always crazy, but crazy with access to something that can do a whole lot of damage in a short period of time is a lot of suffering for others. It's just a sad cycle but alas, if people don't wish to give up guns then forcing them won't make the situation any better.
