Mental health issues aren't at play here because he had multiple psychiatrists as well as access to very good healthcare. He WAS getting help. Tons of it.

He wasn't taking the medications he had been prescribed, though. Having access to help means nothing if you refuse to cooperate with it.

Then how does this make this a mental health issue that we need to be discussing?

Access to mental health care was not the problem here. So unless your argument is "We need to be talking about mental health, because somebody should have been force-feeding this kid pills" that's not the biggest issue.

We can't control what people do, we can only try to control the tools with which they do it.

There is only so much you can do for an adult with mental illness in a day and age with privacy laws and laws that make it very difficult to institutionalize someone against their will. The UCSB shooter had a long history with the psychiatric profession but had never done anything to warrant an intervention that would have kept him away from society.

So, your argument IS "somebody should have been force-feeding this kid pills/locking him up." Okay, then.

I'm not the same anon you were probably thinking of but I don't think forceable confinement/medication is a good thing but short of that, I don't know what would have prevented this situation. Don't say get rid of all guns, because that's also not going to happen in the US in the next couple of decades at least. What do you suggest?

For some people, that is a necessary thing because they are so mentally messed up that they cannot function even with therapy and medication. It's the ugly truth and sweeping it under the rug isn't doing anyone any favors.
