We’re talking apples and oranges, Tal. I’ve done a lot of research and, of course, not every person with mental illness will be violent in this manor. In fact, it is the minority that will project violence in this fashion.

I agree that SOME of the mentally ill have been victims of violence and many because the safety net was removed. The institutions were shuttered because lack of interest in cleaning up the management and money that politicians were saving for their own interests.

This doesn’t change the fact that mental illness is the leading factors in these murders and they will continue to wreak this sad havoc if the public is unwilling to advocate for change in dealing with those individuals.

Trust me when I say they will find even more heinous methods than automatic weapons.
