Reportedly a Deal is Done

In that list of mass killings with firearms - still rookie numbers compared to what a depressed airline pilot can do...

131 innocent lives of people just going about their day, killed by one lunatic. In a highly screened secure zone with no firearms involved.





Pilot did it.

The reality is most mass-killing events are suicides. The best way to stop mass killings, isn't just general catch-all of "mental health". It's suicide prevention. Suicidal people don't always have a long history of mental health issues - they can be normal people just starting to lose it. Investments into suicide prevention and support aren't just valuable on face-value; they're valuable at mitigating shit like this too.

The suicide comment seems to be onto a real deal. I live in a city of about 50,000 people in northern Oklahoma, but I know of and have some sort of personal connection to about six suicide victims. I think 4 of those were between 18 and 24 years old. That's pretty much the same age range of most of the mass shooters going back to Columbine (I lived outside Denver when that went down). I'm convinced that there's some kind of link between the two phenomena.
