4 years ago I did a well check up and walked into a murder suicide of my neighbors of 18 years, found both dead.
Why shouldn't we have a plan to keep guns out of the wrong hands?
I have a concern though, usually when a person is set on suicide / murder suicide they are calm and many show no signs of mental illness, although behind closed doors he was a crazy and abusive. At least this is what happened in my neighbors case.
The mother (my friend) has been fighting for stricter gun laws ever since.
The Daous' affluent lifestyle with multiple homes, luxury cars and two popular, beautiful and successful children may have seemed storybook to outsiders. But court records obtained by this newspaper and interviews with investigators now reveal the shocking July 27 murder-suicide was the final explosion of violence after a long series of domestic abuse and threats. The most chilling premonition came from a restraining order obtained by Ed Daou's wife just three weeks before his final fatal act.

Dear Eaglewings
The issue of diagnosing and resolving these hidden abuse and addiction cases
is most effectively done by Spiritual Healing methods and ministries.
(see resources posted at freespiritualhealing)
These experienced practitioners aren't fooled by appearances,
and one day their methods will be proven by medical science to work naturally and effectively,
as Scott Peck observed and wrote in his book Glimpses of the Devil advocating for serious medical research and development on these methods as valid and effective diagnosis and treatment.
The average person cannot always tell a cold from a flu, Hantavirus or West Nile,
but that doesn't mean we should ignore the risk just because we aren't perfect.
We should strive harder to NOT miss signs that a situation is more dangerous than it appears.
Unfortunately, the same liberal bias that seeks to censor and demonize anything Christian,
that in this case can lead to a methodical system of diagnosis and cure for mental illness before it becomes criminal, then overcompensate by projecting all the legislative focus onto external measures like gun control.
Clearly, this is imbalanced. Only seeking medication for symptoms and regulations after the fact that have nothing to do with addressing the ROOT CAUSE And CURE for mental illness - internally and spiritually where govt CANNOT legislate.
Because the answers comes from the Christian track, we need to stop this segregation
and obstruction of information and media between right and left, secular and religious,
faith and science, such as by pursuing medical research into spiritual therapy treatment and cures, which satisfies secular standards of science as needed to introduce into public practice as a resource. Once criminal illness has been proven medically to be cured this way, then perhaps govt can require detention of dangerously sick people until such treatment is shown to remove the sources of the sickness, and the person is no longer "infected" similar to a virus like AIDS or Ebola that requires quarantine until the person is proven safe for the public.
Once people understand the solutions, this game will stop of trying to regulate from the outside in, instead of addressing the real problems from the inside out.
