Let's hope this ends without injuries...

YOUNTVILLE, Calif. Napa County Fire captain Chase Beckman says a gunman has taken hostages at a veterans home in California.

Police closed access to the large veterans home in Yountville after a man with a gun was reported on the grounds.

The Napa County Sheriffs Department issued an alert to residents at 10:30 a.m. Friday warning them to avoid the area because of activity at the Veterans Home in Yountville.

The Napa Valley Register reported that a man wearing body armor and armed with an automatic weapon entered the home.

The sheriffs department did not immediately respond to a telephone call from The Associated Press.

The state Veterans Affairs department says it is the largest veterans home in the United States, with about 1,000 residents.

Edit: CNN reports there has been gunfire.

Four people killed, including shooter (officially a mass shooting for Mother Jones -- can we get through ONE fucking month without a mass shooting?). Shooter, a war veteran, was suffering from PTSD and was apparently denied help.

So the system fails once again. How can you reform gun control when what you got now isn't being enforced?

Ive said this for ages, we need more social nets that capture these individuals before they feel forced to pick up a gun and start a shooting.
But helping others is something bad in USA for some strange reason.

Proves that mental help should be more the issue than gun control.

Perhaps the answer is to help people with mental issues and prevent them from easily get their hands on guns?

Ever notice how much more upset people get when the person commits suicide at the end?

Someone kills some people and we arrest or WE kill them, something awful happened but we took care of it. Someone kills some people and then HIMSELF? Suddenly way more tragic because we don't get to do anything to said person and they "win".

This reminds me of laughing in church as a kid because the preacher said you shouldn't give God lip-service.

Ban guns but we don't want to actually say that we'll just say that isn't our goal all while pushing the agenda farther and farther along.

Gun control doesn't stop someone from being mental.

Like I've said in the past, psychopaths and mentally ill individuals will always exist regardless. We can help them, but our goal should be to prevent these lunatics from acquiring their hands on firearms and committing mass murder.

Just think for a minute; had this guy not had access to a firearm, this wouldn't had happened. He'd vent out his frustration a different way.

Apparently his guns were legally acquired.

If he had as many mental health issues as I'm hearing then he shouldn't have been able to legally buy them. Same as the last church shooter and the last school shooter.

If you would approach a veteran and tell him he isn't allowed to own a gun anymore, you've got a lot more balls than I do.
