Yeah, David Gregory tried to point that out about, Columbine and VA Tech, but LaPierre just brushed that whole issue away and refused to address it. Just like he brushed away every other comment or question that didn't match up with the talking points crap he was there to spout. It was absolutely revolting.
His use of the words "crazy", "lunatics", and "monsters" makes me think he is not the best person to be talking about mental health care reform.
It's nice to know, though, that mentally ill people only buy guns after being diagnosed and only ever use their own, legally purchased guns. Otherwise, we would need to cross-check the national registry of mentally ill people with a national registry of gun owners to see if the mentally ill person already has access to firearms, and then take them away. And that would be an invasion of privacy and violation of the Second Amendment.
LaPierre also said, “We have a mental health system in this country that has completely and totally collapsed. We have no national database of these lunatics” and complained that de-institutionalization of the mentally ill had put too many dangerous people on the streets of America. “We have a completely cracked mentally ill system that’s got these monsters walking the streets,” LaPierre said.
As one such "monster," eat shit and die in a fire!
EDIT: Just to clarify, I wasn't addressing that to you, OP.
