This country obviously could do better regarding peoples mental well being, especially with homeless, vets, addicts, etc...but thats not the solution to these shootings. It is the guns. Period.

You are focused on these mass shootings. I am focused on gun deaths. The majority of gun deaths are suicides and hence the mental health aspect.
I am not an expert on this subject but there are plenty of other countries (that don't have easy access to guns) leading the US on suicides per capita. In other words, they find other ways. This indicates to me that our suicide challenge is not guns but mental health.
