What can we do about mental health in America?
A person can walk into a gun store, he appears to be normal, he strikes up a conversation with the shop owner. The Shop owner has no idea if he has a mental illness or not. A week later the gun is used in a shooting.
This is not about the gun or where to get a gun, it's about it being very hard to tell whether someone is disturbed enough to be homicidal. Like that Elliot Rogers kid who suddenly snapped, who knows how long he was bottling up those emotions. I don't think mental health clinics or whatever they are called are doing enough.
What do you think can be done about this?
-
I feel like there should be a gun license test much like a driving test. It should be a quick evaluation done by your doctor, the doc says whether or not the patient is mental or not, the papers are then given to the government for evaluation when taking the gun exam. If you pass, you can buy a gun, if you don't no gun.
