You know, there has been little talk of mental health reform. [View all]

I know that many are out their right now that is not getting their meds due to legislation from the Bush era.
It is not that they don't want them, they just can't afford it.

I bring this up due to the events of this day. Do we know what was going on in the way of the shooters mental state? Was he under treatment? Was he able to get help? Was he able to get enough help?


Is there help out there? Yes, some. But their are loops holes that allows people to fall through. We need to fix those.

Sad to say, we must stop this thing before they go for the guns or bombs or even Hijacking a truck and driving it in to something.

While we are looking at gun control, lets look at providing affordable and reachable mental health to. Let us move a bill to make it easier to get.
