Improved mental healthcare, maybe in this case/instance, but I haven't seen that evidence yet. And improved mental healthcare is only one aspect, though it seems to be a very common denominator in mass firearm killings. .

Down load the spreadsheet.
I agree that it's only one aspect, definitely a great need for reform in other areas, but it's a much bigger aspect than people seem to think. I'm not a professional in the mental health field, I just get the pleasure of protecting those that are and working around them but from what I've seen in my area alone mental healthcare is in the shitter. Scratch that, it aspires to be in the shitter.
I know that my experience doesn't shape reality but it's like this for most of the states not just here.
