It was a beautiful bright school day in the small town of Uvalde Texas. Children would be getting out of school in less than a month and summer was just around the corner.
Mothers had kissed their children goodbye for the day a few hours beforehand. While just a few yards away, an emotionally outraged 18 year old boy had crashed a truck nearby the elementary school with two AR platform rifles in hand, ready to fire.

We all are too familiar with how this tragic story ended.19 children dead and 2 adults dead. 21 all together. Two days before school got out. How does this effect us? This may sound awful to consider but why should we even be concerned about their deaths and the particular way that they passed away?
Hopefully, everyone knows the answer to the last one or has an answer.

We all know that anybody who chooses to use a firearm to kill another person not for protection but for a form of suicide or for a recreation purpose is clearly not mentally healthy on the inside.
But how in the world can we know beforehand? How can we find out who is mentally unstable before they purchase a gun? And how can we differentiate that between those who are mentally stable but happen to have the same mental illnesses as somebody who would possibly start a mass shooting?
