No, I don't. But do you think it's an important factor in gun violence and gun control?

As a country we know very little to nothing about mental illness and the services available.
That is mainly because mental illness is a stigma.
Also HIPPA says we can't peruse others health records .

Not suggesting the link with guns is there or not.... But mental healthcare in this country is a joke compared to the rest of the industrialized world.
