• Poor mental health is a definitely large factor in mass shootings
• Another large factor in mass shootings would be guns
• Poor mental health,  even when observed by trained professionals, is tricky to regulate, as you can’t hold it in your hands
• You can hold a gun in your hands
• REGULATE GUNS
• AND ALSO MENTAL HEALTH, YES THAT SYSTEM IS ALSO BROKEN BUT
• START  WITH THE THING YOU CAN SEE

I understand last night’s mass shooting, 40 miles from where I live, ‘the worst mass shooting in the US in twelve days,’ is a NRA’s dream. The shooter owned his weapons legally (except for the magazines) making it a mental health issue. But a mental health professional cleared him in April. Because how can you really even tell how broken a person is, what they might do? I’m not a policy genius, I’m just a grown up baby with a blog, BUT ISN’T THE ANSWER SO VERY VERY CLEAR?
