Harper-Mercer was reportedly discharged from basic training after trying to commit suicide. That's one of the ways unfit civilians are weeded out of our military forces. And the more potentially dangerous or physically difficult the military specialty, the more difficult the basic training for weeding them out.

Anyway, in essence, Bush said to pump up the socialism for the mental health racket (big spending), and make it illegal for the typically crazy Internet users and veterans to possess weapons. What we're seeing, is that the candidates continuing to campaign for the presidency are crazy, and that's the situation preferred by the political mob.

I don’t like Jeb bush but on this issue he is right on target. the legal tools and services for the mentally ill are not available in a way that help is provided for those suffering from mental illness. what is needed are laws on the book so that when someone is ill that family can step in to take the person off the streets and when family is not there the state can intervene.

I suffer from bipolar it is known and documented. my illness most of the time is under control but if I were to get sick know one can step in till I am a danger to others or to myself. the expectation is on me to go get help. when your brain is not working right you cant expect the person to seek help that is the intervention that is needed.The way the laws are written some one that needs help probably wont get help till it is to late.
