Mental illness may be a part of all these mass murders, but I believe it's only a small part of it.

What I do believe is the underlying cause is based on prejudice, ignorance and pure, unadulterated hate. These things are not a mental illness. They are probably an environmental and learned behavior.

And since a cure for that is pretty remote, I believe we have to rely on changes in some laws.
