Conneticut and More: this rant is not about guns

[kita0610]

A lot of people are talking about gun control today. And they should be. The problem is, without changing the basic infrastructure of our society's mental health care system, even the most stringent gun laws will not be able to stop this kind of violence

I wish everyone in America could read this and understand what it means. Thank you for sharing it so eloquently.

Thank you for the links, and let me just throw my voice in on the "good LORD it should not be this hard for me to find medical help as I'm waving fistfulls of money at various locations AND showing my seriously generous mental health insurance benefits."

I wish you'd unlock this so it could be shared, but I respect your privacy 100%. Basically, YEAH. Now I'm off to contact those links.

I (obviously) can't contact or lobby anyone about this, but as soon as the post is public, I'll be sharing this with those I know who can.
