    Shooting has become a regular feature by a Sic mind in the US and the administration of the day is doing nothing to stop this threat to human lives. It should be made mandatory for every citizen and immigrant in the US to undergo a counselling session by a qualified psychiatrist twice a year at the six-month interval or more if necessary for particular individuals with a high degree of perversion, to identify the criminal intent in the mind of the person just the way emission test is done for vehicles to arrest pollution. Those who fail to possess these certificates should be denied medical insurance, unemployment allowance and such other benefits of the Government. The data of those identified as dangerous to society by the psychiatrist during counselling should be shared with the Police and become part of police records to block these elements from carrying out their nefarious acts detrimental to human lives.
