Public Health Crisis

When will we as a nation address and deal with what is obviously so very wrong? It's more than just gun ownership. It's more than a mental health issue. It's more than a cultural reaction. It's all of it. It's American and it's time to make ending/curtailing it a national priority.

we will not see anything done to address this massive public heath crises.

A completely free and almost unregulated market of guns is incompatible with liberal or progressive ideals. A movement that demands we regulate banks needs to demand tough regulation gun ownership.

We should have national single payer health care so psycho freaks like this guy have access to the care they need and the meds. What ever caused this to occur could have been prevented with a simple prozac prescription and counseling to help him talk through his issues.
