Great post. I suggest creating organizations that support homesteading, caring for nature, animals and natural healing through herbs. Good people like church based charity projects could be a way to jump-start these projects to help rehab people with mental illness. At least they can learn something new and different from what they've been used to doing; or get close to nature to begin the healing process. Prison walls aren't going to cut the curse I'm afraid. Humanity needs to serve a higher cause in order to change any type of illness. We have to change our life-styles altogether. I agree with you though, tighter gun laws only serves the tyranny of government, not the people.
RE: School shooters are "mentally unstable monsters" yet no one implies MENTAL ILLNESS as the actual monster!?
