From where I sit halfway around the planet, the whole issue seems to be devolving into a gun control fight with virtually no attention on mental health.
Am I surprised? Hell no!
Why? Because it's a LOT cheaper to play around with existing firearms laws, get the police/ATF/etc to come down hard on a few people than it is to make effective changes to mental (in fact all) health systems and make them WORK.
ALL sides of politics are equally unlikely in my view to do what NEEDS to be done because actually dealing with a broken system requires money and political backbone.

So we can all expect more instances similar to this one in the future - at least until a few centuries have passed and there's a half decent mental health system...

And this goes not just for the US, but here in Australia as well.
