The FBI is basically seeking these people out, handing them all the weapons and bombs and they need, and then say "see that school over there? Go ahead and lay waste to it. Come on, you'll feel good about it. We'll even give you money to do it!"
This is the danger of having unaccountable authorities that have a profound lack of respect for the rule of law and due process, and think they can do whatever they want to further whatever they think the "mission" is. Eventually they become the enemy of the people and instead of improving public safety, they actively work to undermine it.
If they are so worried about people with mental issues, they should be seeking them out to give them help, not arm them. You'd think that should be common sense. But when civil law enforcement becomes militarized, something like that is anything but common sense.

I'd like to see some evidence for that. How many mass shootings still happen in the U.S. every year? - "But we don't count those as terrorism!" - Oh, okay. But you do when it's the government itself that trains these people and encourages them to do these acts against itself?!
