To the ones saying our problem is not guns but a deterioration

4. Until we have in this country

a robust mental health care system that is part of a nationalized medical system so that anyone can utilize these services free of cost without stigmatization, these types of mass killings will continue.

We can go only so far with legislation. The same is true for bigotry and racism in this country. These are psychological problems whether within a single individual or the country's psyche as a whole.

You are right that this country double messages constantly. We want war & accept it far too easily. We want revenge, I mean, justice and are willing to execute far too easily. We want to lock up those city shadows all around us instead of helping them with compassion and justice. It is far too easy to imprison than it is to rehabilitate.

Again, that comes back to changing the national psyche. The only way to do that is to finally get a president that will stand up for those things. Then we elect a congress to implement national changes that must occur. As that takes place on a collective level, then, change will start occurring on a personal one.

Only my two cents as someone who has worked in the mental health field for pushing 30 years now.
