Speaker Ryan sees mentally ill at root of all mass shootings

[HereSince1628]

2. What I expect is broader collection of mental health records

More reporting requirements for a broader range of circumstances.

The NRA has everyone convinced that guns don't kill but the monsters among us pull triggers. By monsters among us, Ryan and Wayne LaPierre don't mean radicalized conservative vigilantes incited to violence by comments of rw presidential primary candidates or talk radio.

It's unlikely that psychiatric evaluations prior to gun purchase would be part of it. As pointed out elsewhere, the logistics would overwhelm the psychiatric industry and ask them to do a job that they aren't trained to do--and for which science/technology do not exit. No psychiatric discipline can accurately predict which individuals will murder other people.

Ryan is mostly doing what politicians do...finding a scapegoat to protect campaign donations.
