President Obama’s mental health summit underscores disadvantage on guns

President Obama on Monday addressed the stigma surrounding mental illness, an issue that received little White House attention during the push for new firearms restrictions but is now getting a second look following the stinging defeat of the president’s gun control measures.

Obama convened a mental health summit Monday at the White House, months after the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
