Identifying isn’t the issue. Treatment is. The cops know my neighbor has paranoid schizophrenia but it isn’t illegal to be mentally ill. They engage with him when he commits petty crimes or —more often— is himself the victim of crime (real or imagined), but they can’t lock him up and throw away the key to keep others safe because he might snap.

With adequate red flag laws, they could at least impair his ability to get guns. Probably both these guys had neighbors, family members, etc that knew they were very troubled (and likely even police knew), but both probably had legally purchased guns and ammunition. I think California has a red flag law — I’ll be interested to see where this fell through the cracks. I think the police aren’t using them enough and neighbors/coworkers/family often don’t want to rile the person up by being the one to file. They are used most often by DV victims which is great but doesn’t stop these very unbalanced people that target random members of the community.

Maybe take a minute to actually find out the truth, instead of spouting off a "probably" that is false.

I cannot tell you how hard it feels to live under the constant threat of gun violence in our country. I catch myself having fleeting throughts - and mentally saying a prayer - when I'm buying groceries. Even at a normally "above all that" store like Whole Foods, where you'd never expect gun violence.

My daughter is a student at UC Santa Cruz and I have actually stood on that campus and said a prayer to God to protect my DD and all the students from any possible shooters.

My life and mental state should never have come to this point.

All guns should be made illegal. I am a gun owner. I will give up my guns in a heartbeat and pour money to any party that fights for outlawing guns.

What will make this insanity end?

Stop voting for republicans.

California is very blue. Apparently voting blue doesn't help.

Neither does gun control.

It does not work.

Californian here - We literally voted for Newsom and gun control, by a landslide. We have the strictest gun laws in the entire country. Do you live under a rock on a deserted island, and only come out to post stupid things on the internet?

Go ahead. It doesn't have to be a legal requirement for you to give up your guns. Set a good example without being forced to do so.

It’s not the guns, it’s Americans. Don’t at me.

+ 1.

We already have complete gun control. That’s obviously not the answer.

Mental health care is the more difficult, but obviously right solution to this problem.

DP. My DH is a military vet who has served in combat and owns guns. He would also give up his guns if asked. He’s neither paranoid that we need them to protect ourselves from marauding gangs or a tyrannical government nor entertaining delusions about what it is like to shoot someone.

That’ll solve the problem.

Why should the family be strung up? They are often victims of these angry men.
