    My point is that everyone focuses on the wrong problem when shit like this happens. Guns are a distraction. Society is failing people like this and he should have received help long before he ever got to the point of crisis. He was looking at losing his home, you can’t therapy your way out of that and it’s not something he nor anyone else should ever have to fear. The only reason we even hear about things like this is usually because someone lashes out violently or harms themselves. If there were proper safety nets in place to provide for them they could be surrounded by guns and not have an issue (barring actual mental problems that make them dangerous but these would also be caught if people were getting proper care).
