Nashville School Shooting

FWICT, the shooter wasn't being treated for anything that would have disqualified her from purchasing a firearm.

An unintended result of that policy might be far fewer people seeking treatment for problems.

I hear people crying out for some sort of mental health background check, but I haven't seen a clear way it could be implemented. I'm just thinking of solutions this morning with my coffee. Because I'm a solutions guy.

You're a guy. Period. It's what we do.

It's what pisses off the wimmenfolk when they're sobbing about this or that problem and all they want is someone to listen but we're essentially wired to look for a "solution."

All that estrogen.

Talking about unintended consequences... the existence of such a database would be one step closer to a "social credit score", like China has.

We would have "psyche scores" generated from a database that's ran by a government agency.

I can't see that this is a viable path forward. Theoretically, it seems like the most straightforward path, but no one thus far has laid out any plan.

And, as you have pointed out, such procedures would not have red flagged this latest shooter.
