"We knew Lopez had mental health issues which he was being treated for"

Yep, and the DOD doesn't allow the best trained shooters on earth to carry a firearm on duty.... When will we learn that gun free environments are perfect opportunities for armed lunatics?

I wish it was that simple, but it goes much deeper than that. The military is going through a mental health crisis at the moment. No deaths in Afghanistan last month, but a record amount of suicide. Not a good situation all around.
