I agree with it being a mental health issue, but I also have to question a lot of shootings like this. I personally don't think the Obama admin has done anything that has actually made gun control a real issue but implication from his crying speech yesterday does kinda lean in that manner. I just find it odd that it takes 18 kids dying, or a theater getting shot up to bring up these issues when numerous cities in America are facing hundreds of deaths a year to gun violence- most of which are illegal firearms- and many cities that could see as many shootings in a weekend as people that died yesterday. cough cough cities like Obama's Chicago. And im sure if you look at age getting killed by numbers its probably youth there too. To think things like that to accomplish goals for goverment is under them... is just naive. And is it just not important because they are poor, druggies, gang bangers, lost causes or what?
Now mental health is truly an issue, but is it any more an issue than it was at any time? is it like drugs where no matter what a certain % of your population is going to have issues? or is it more so the publicized means to reach out and do things like this. Blame media, cuz if there wasn't news hype/tv/media these crazies wouldnt be doing things as publicly alarming and attention drawing.
And to blame families? I believe they said he was son of the teacher he shot...does that mean shouldn't have been teaching those kids?...not hearing that one yet, but already hearing his mental health issues should have been addressed. sure there are plenty of stories/info to unfold yet.
