The attribution of poor mental health to mass shootings is a thing of socioeconomic and racial convenience. When people discuss shootings in some cities and neighborhoods it is framed in terms of drugs, gangs, poverty, and incorrigible attitudes. Other times, it’s not really the guy’s fault – it’s due to his faulty wiring. And that’s irrespective of how much planning he did, and what he posted and said before and during the assault. When a guy shoots a cop, nobody excuses it by suggesting that he had a mental issue. Not even a whisper. Ever.
There are plenty of gangbangers with mental issues (deserving of at least some compassion, but even more meaningful, help); and plenty of people with mental issues who aren’t even thinking of shooting anybody. And sometimes.. people who kill other people.. are just bad people.. Almost all the time, in fact.
None of this even begins to address the issue of an inept, complacent, and even complicit Congress. Blood on your lazy, do-nothing-hands. Cowards all. Sacrificing other peoples’ children at every turn.

INENARRABLE 
If the second amendment allows for the right of individuals to bear arms clearly there needs to be an assesment of whether this really does protect individuals in the modern world. And also which arms and how many arms and the process of procurement of these arms clearly needs to be addressed.
This to me is becoming and issue of public saftey and the families of these victims should bring a class action suit against the state or federal government for failure to protect its citizens. Based on the volume of these mass shootings it can be statistically proven that the right of citizens to bear arms harms ( read kills) more citizens than it protects. And that to me is grounds for a constitutional ammendment or at least new gun regulations.
Well thought out and stated.
