Really enjoyed the blog from Gail Collins and David Brooks. The Tucson thing was a real tragedy. I have many friends in love with handguns and I don’t really understand the attraction. As for the shooter, it’s another indictment on the lack of mental health care in this country and the mythology that the mentally ill have a “right” not to be subjected to involuntary treatment. This is a classic example of what happens. The same thing happened at Virginia Tech. It’s cheaper to pretend that people will seek treatment on their own, take medication on their own, and pretend that no problem exists until it is too late.
