Gun debate

I honestly think that we as a country are focusing on the wrong end of the mass shooting. If a person wants to get a hold of a gun he/she will. Just like if someone wants drugs they will find them. We need to make sure every American is covered by public or private insurance for all MENTAL health problems. I have a friend that has insurance that will not cover the medicine check for her children with ADHD. It is required that we take our children in every three to six months to be seen by a doctor, but some insurance companies refuse to cover these visits. This is just for ADHD. A common metal health issue. What about those who are bi-polar, manic depressant or Schizophrenia? When this issue has been properly addressed by the government then we can take another look at gun control. Guns don't kill people. It is the person pulling the trigger. Please, let's make it easier for these people to find the help they need before it gets to this point. Just my opinion. Thanks
