I’m not sure I agree with the assertion that psychological treatment is not able to significantly reduce the chance of someone engaging in a mass shooting.

While people that shoot others are unlikely to seek treatment themselves, it should be forced upon people who commit violent crimes. Many shooters have massive red flags that should have led to arrest and psychological treatment prior to the shooting.

How is psych treatment reducing the chance of anything if it's not applied or the person isn't actively seeking treatment.

Red flags exist, but you can't force someone to just not do something unless you put them in a box. So there's going to continue to be shooters until we come up with a better solution.
