Great, I look forward to our convo in a few months when another couple dozen kids are gunned down and we sit there and talk about how there was no way to have prevented such a thing when no serious thought was put into it.

So you do support an increase in funding for mental health care? And increasing regulation on the sell of guns with those with a history of mental disorders?
Because if so, we're on the same page there.

Is it going to be effective or just pad pockets?
You seem to be under the impression that doing anything, particularly spending money is a sure fire fix. My city has incredible resources for mentally ill but it seems to be only mildly affective because of Cross issues such as addiction

did they not do MORE damage? Efficiency was never part of the topic. But I like how you are arguing semantics rather than the topic you are getting own in.
5 people killed 29 in those knife attacks at a train station. One guy killed 17 last week.

Nothing is a sure fix. Humans are complex, often-times shitty creatures and it's not really possible right now to pinpoint the different between a manic depressive that sits at home and cries and a manic depressive that decides to go on a killing spree. Finding those triggers and indicators should be a large part of the focus.
But there is one sure-fire way to change nothing...and that's to do nothing.

Nobody is asking you to give up anything, assuming you're a mentally stable adult that is capable of handling a firearm in a responsible way.

What do you suggest?

Sometimes the fix is worse than the problem.
What do you suggest? Want to go back to putting people in institutions for depression?

According to a database maintained by Mother Jones, there have been at least 90 mass shootings in the United States since 1982, and most of the shooters got their guns legally. The database focuses on what the publication calls "indiscriminate rampages in public places resulting in four or more victims killed by the attacker," and excludes shootings stemming from more conventional crimes such as armed robbery or gang violence.
Of the 143 guns wielded by killers in mass shootings, more than three quarters were obtained legally, including dozens of assault weapons and semi-automatic handguns with high-capacity magazines, according to Mother Jones.
