The gunman who killed four people before taking his own life in a midtown Manhattan office building that houses the NFL's headquarters had for years sought medical help for frequent, debilitating headaches -- including receiving injections in the back of his head, a person close to the man's family told ESPN.

That sounds like a great way to stop union members from owning guns. Oh you have arthritis? No guns for you. Oh you have back pain from working on a factory? No guns for you. Oh you got a sunburn from when you're outside striking? No guns for you. You'll make neoliberals super happy with this one.

Way to take it the complete opposite way. Let's never take guns then and keep giving them to unstable people then. Good job guy.

Who gets to decide who's unstable? Historically it's been the neoliberals and they've always Chosen leftists and black people. Those are the ones they don't want having guns. So excuse me if I don't trust your intentions.

Who gets to decide who's unstable?

Doctors, Independent Medical Mental Health Professionals, and to some extent prior personal patterns. Honestly, thats not politically motivated, thats just common sense.

The problem with that is that it's not currently socially acceptable to seek mental health assistance, and it's hard to get (long wait and high cost in the US at least) assistance when you need it. So people don't.

And for the second part, the first time may be the last as they go out with a bang. Ive lost family members due to the combo of these two statements.

But also, history shows that it doesn't matter that much for the higher impact/mass shootings. If someone is motivated enough, they'll find a way. It doesnt matter reduce the count as it reduces the ease of finding a weapon, but it doesn't make it zero and we shouldn't really try for that.
