You will know that two young journalists were murdered by a gunman in Roanoke, Virginia, the other day.  Donald Trump, the famous political scientist and intellectual, told CNN: ” This isn’t a gun problem, this is a mental health problem.”  My reply would be, “People who think this is just a mental health problem have a  mental health problem.”

You cannot really cure the mental health problems that cause a person to commit coldblooded murder. They are beyond our reach.  Effectively you can only sedate them – if you can identify them. You can however, make it more difficult for them to get their hands on a gun.
