But you'd also need to put a lot of resources into mental health in this country. Not just to spot these people, but to prevent and help those who have issues. I think that's worth it not just for shootings, but for a slew of other societal problems it would help with (substance abuse, domestic violence, etc).
The gun lobby and many supporters fight against this. A psychopath uses the same money that a sane person does. And mass shootings are good for business. There's a financial reason why they want them to continue.

I would like to see where you get the information that the gun lobby and many supporters are against Helping the mentally ill.
And are you really saying the gun lobby and many supporters are in favor of mass shootings because it is good for business?
