Mental health problems probably fly over most of our heads, but I do know that the guy who beheaded a fellow human being has received mental health care, and is apparently doing much better. So obviously there IS help out there.
People hated it that he got access to some sort of freedom, which just goes to show that most of us don't really understand the issues at hand.

Agreed.
Maybe having an all out ban on assault rifles is a start and then making it so inconvenient to own a hand gun that it's damn near impossible. Maybe something like a two tier system where you get a hunting gun licence first. After you have proven for 5 years that you or anyone else has never harmed anyone with your weapon be able to go through a 2 year long screening and training program to own a hand gun. Make it so every 2 years or so you have to renew your licence where you have to take a test and allow someone into your home to see if the proper safety measures are being taken to renew your licence. That doesn't take care of the illegal weapons issue, but it's a start I guess.
