I believe I thought something like this

A couple of months ago, when musing about the multiple gun murder in Oregon, I suggested that there should be a "no gun" list.  In fact, that was the title of the post.

Here's what I considered to be criteria to get a name on the list:

"If someone is on record as a) making threats, b) attempting or indicating a desire for suicide, c) expressing a desire to harm or injure another person, d) being a professed member of a group or groups that advocate violence toward a different group, e) having a psychological condition or having a family member with a known psychological condition, and f) writing a rambling manifesto expressing threats, endangerment, or hate for other people or groups -- their name should go on a basic "no gun" list. It means they can't buy guns and they can't have guns. If they have guns, they get taken away until they can show that they or the individual associated with them (with the psychological condition) pose no danger to the community."

Well,  it seems like Speaker Paul Ryan is expressing a similar idea following the shootings in San Bernardino (which it appears didn't really have a mental health component, but look at my (d) above):

Paul Ryan: We Must Address Mental Illness To Curb Mass Shootings

"Ryan said U.S. mental health laws are outdated and that people with mental illness should not be able to buy guns.

Congress, Ryan said, is currently looking at whether there are gaps in enforcing laws that need to be filled. "We have to think these things through before we just have knee-jerk reactions," the speaker added, and noted that it was important for Congress not to infringe on the rights of citizens.

Ryan is a major proponent of the Murphy bill, which he said would address "people with mental illness that are getting guns and are conducting these mass shootings." Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Penn.) introduced the bill after conducting extensive research in the wake of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School."

So, yeah, there's some similarity of thought.

But here is the first unfiltered thought I had when I read Speaker Ryan's remarks:

I wonder how much funding the Republicans have cut over the past decade that would have funded better and more extensive mental health treatment programs, hmmm??

Wish I could ask the Speaker that one.
