So saeth our President.
Here's a psychiatrist who says otherwise: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/09/texas-shooting-mental-health-donald-trump-215807
I'm sure he's not alone. In reading his treatise, I am forced to conclude that (a) he doesn't want to have anyone suggest that he should in any way be in a position to spot potential killers; and (b) he hates guns. Note how often he refers to "gun" violence. Surely there are other forms of violence that are equally destructive. Nut cases kill people with bombs, axes, chain saws, matches (and gasoline), cars -- you name it. Yet all he can focus on is "gun" violence.
We need to be aware that these people are out there, and that they are going to be actively promoting "gun violence" as the problem, while working to divert attention away from the larger, mental health aspect.

Another Trump was right. Call him insightful or an idiot savant, but he was right. Says it's a mental health problem, entire mediasphere goes all argly bargly and two days later we get the escaped mental treatment facility bit. Oops.

Plus the doctor who ran the joint saying the guy was a danger to humanity.

It would be a mental health problem if the guy who was supposed to forward the conviction information from AF to FBI didn't do it because of a schizophrenic delusion. Or, if the guards in the mental institution were off theior meds.
As it is, it's a people not doing their jobs problem.

A govt. problem.

Replying to @mluckovichajc
1) An NRA member with an AR stopped the shooter in Texas
2) Many NRA members are Vets including vets who have fought AQ and ISIS

Mr. Luckovich:
Your cartoon is a base libel, and here is why.
If you truly believed it was true? You wouldn't DARE post it, or any of the other similar cartoons you've scribbled over the years, for fear of being executed one dark night by the group you like to claim is worse than Al Qaeda or ISIS. You *RELY* on our being civilized, rational, peaceful folks to keep you from having to censor your free speech out of self-protection. On our defending your right to be a hateful, intolerant prick trying to take away the rights of all the people who never did anything wrong in their LIVES.
Must be nice, being able to call people bloodthirsty moron monsters, being able to say all the mean-spirited, hateful, fact-free things you want to about people whose only "crime" is not agreeing with you, and being able to sleep soundly at night because you KNOW we'll never do any of the things you routinely accuse of us doing, because we're better people than you are.
You're a pig. And even that relatively mild assessment does those simple animals a gross injustice.
