Why is it that everyone wants to scream about guns and get all offended when it's suggested that the first best solution is to treat the people who might be unstable enough to go around shooting people? I mean, seriously, it's not freaking rocket surgery, FFS.

I don't think the issue is in treating the people who'd likely be the ones to commit these crimes. That's not what the author is stating, nor is it the most frequently-used argument against such laws.

No fuck that. There's a serious stigma about mental health that our society needs to address.

If it wasn't such a taboo amongst the average person to seek any sort of treatment, then some of these delusional twats might just get the hell they desperately need.

Agreed. My point was that we need to be treating the underlying causes instead of allowing the Feds to run yet another program to control who can do what and when.
