66. How come no one ever brings up Mental health care?

In many ways the problem is NOT gun control or lack of gun control, but Mental health care.

Mental Health Care has been underfunded for decades, if the family would have been able to get adequate care for the shooter BEFORE this incident, this whole problem would have been avoided. His mother would have known what programs available for her child (the shooter) and determined none were available UNLESS she paid, more then she could afford. That is the situation with Mental Heath Care in the US today.

In School, his teachers would have seen the problems, but could not do anything for there was no place to send him due to the lack of funding for Mental Health care.

Thus he was on his own for Mental Health Care, which he could not get. Left alone, as an American Individualist, he sought his own Solution to his problem and we see the results.

We need additional finding for Mental Health Care, but it is the one thing the NRA will NOT support for the simple reason the NRA is tied in with the extreme Right Wing and its support for low taxes for the rich. Mental Health Care cost money, and thus NOT an option for the right wing. The Extreme Right Wing prefer Gun Control or no Control Control (The Extreme Economic Right Wing do not really care which) over increase taxes on the the Rich (Which the extreme Right Wing do care about).
