Very good article, tho all of these points have been addressed before. Mental illness, per se, has been used as a red herring in the gun control & violence issue in this country. We definitely need to do more on all health issues, especially mental health that still has an unfortunate stigma attached, but that is a tangential issue to gun violence. One can say, & to a large part, in a colloquial way, I agree, that one who commits these types of crimes has to have "something wrong with them". The bottom line has to be to at least limit the potential damage by one who is themselves "damaged". Screening, as stated in the article, is insufficient to accomplish that. Restricting, limiting or banning the availability of anyone to assault type weapons, bump-stocks, large magazines, or "armor-pierceing" or similar ammo is the only sure method of reducing this type of carnage. Period! Anything else is a half-measure & doomed to failure!
