This should be read by anyone wanted to do something about stopping these mass shootings.
Just remember - if "mental illness" was at the root of the epidemic of hate-fueled mass shootings, they wouldn't only be occuring with this frequency in the USA. It would be world wide.

Why? Because mental illness is not an American illness. It is a worldwide illness. Mental illness doesn't stop at our borders, or even at the edge of our continent.

It isn't happening with this frequency world wide. Therefore - mental illness cannot possibly be the cause, or even a primary trigger.

Science/medical research phrase: correlation does not equal causation.
