Hahaha, wow. This thread is all sorts of amusing. Full of all sorts of falsities... and some of them even related to the shooting.
"PTSD" is totally today's catchall idiot buzzword regarding veterans. I'm so glad the infotainment media will further denigrate our service members.

Background checks for the mentally ill work great on paper but... eh... not so well in real life:
SEE - Virginia Tech Mass Shooting.
I'm glad that third parties get to decide who is mentally ill based on voluntary discussion of issues initiated by the soldier.
If you ask for help, you're broken. If the aid they prescribe is extraordinary, you're mentally ill and thus incompetent. No job, no gun, whatever.
Essentially a bunch of bullshit. The system is broken. Denial is the career survival mechanism. Suck it up. Drink water, drive on.
Be a man.
Biased short-term personal anecdotes / horribly exaggerated victim fantasies need not apply.
