Treating mental illness is a long, difficult process.

For the NRA to say ‘we don’t need gun laws, we need mental health care’ completely dodges the issue of what do you do when mental health care is still a work in progress? Much mental health care isn’t a cure, it is management of a chronic condition.

And the NRA has repeatedly fought for laws that would bar physicians from discussing the potential dangers of having firearms in the home. So, they don’t even believe in the health care part. It’s a distraction.

This young man looks eerily similar to Adam Lanza to me for some odd reason. Why?

Well I wonder what the Jacksonville shooter’s other siblings thought of their brother? They are the ones that should have the straight poop on this guy.
