The full story of what Lanza was thinking and what his behavior was like in the runup to this event has not yet been told. We do know that both Loughner and Holmes (Arizona and Colorado mass shooters) have been professionally evaluated as psychiatric cases. The president may know something we do not know about Lanza, or he may have been thinking of the whole collection of mass shootings over the past few years, including those two, as well as the most recent one.

I’m sorry, how is that in the least bit an answer to my question? I asked what role mental health professionals could play, and you simply asserted that previous mass shooters had been evaluated by mental health professionals. Wouldn’t this point more to the inefficacy of mental health in preventing shootings?
