And about some way to keep the mentally ill from killing, no matter race, creed, or weapon.

“And about some way to keep the mentally ill from killing, no matter race, creed, or weapon.”

I believe almost ALL of these mass shootings by mentally ill people, arise from situations where other family members KNEW the person was severely ill and potentially very dangerous.

But we don’t have the mindset to turn our own family members in to authorities. Consider the Connecticut mother. Buying guns for the kid.

Anyway I think “mentally ill” people control needs more attention.

In my state there is a 72 hour lockup, under certain conditions called: “danger to self or others.””

Yet there is a more/less permanent societal danger if these people walk free and have easy access to weapons.
