He says, We should be focusing on mental health." He says, "I think the biggest problem, seriously, is not so much guns." He says, "that's where we've dropped the ball: mental health,"
Yet he's in favour of new national gun control legislation! Would I be out of line in suggesting we take up a collection and engage someone with a scalpel to take a look under his hood.

SYLVESTER Stallone says that despite his Rambo image he's in favour of new national gun control legislation.
Stallone supported the 1994 "Brady Bill" that included a now-expired ban on assault weapons, and hopes that ban can be reinstated.
"I know people get (upset) and go, 'They're going to take away the assault weapon.' Who ... needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you're carrying out an assault. ... You can't hunt with it. ... Who's going to attack your house, a (expletive) army?"
The 66-year-old actor, writer and director said he also hopes for an additional focus on mental health to prevent future mass shootings.
"It's unbelievably horrible, what's happened. I think the biggest problem, seriously, is not so much guns. It's that every one of these people that have done these things in the past 30 years are friggin' crazy. Really crazy! And that's where we've dropped the ball: mental health," he said.
"That to me is our biggest problem in the future, is insanity coupled with isolation."
