Excellent article! I would like to add that our lack of a national health care plan is one of the major causes of these periodic lunatic rampages. Canada has a similar per capita percentage of firearm ownership (minus pistols)as does the USA but a small fraction of the firearm fatalities. Their national health system guarantees health care for all citizens of all ages including psychiatric care. A Canadian with severe mental health problems is much more likely to be identified and helped than in our spotty for-profit system of health care.
