If mental illness is only a factor in the USA with regards to mass shooters, and mental illness occurs worldwide at even higher percentages, then mental illness cannot be a valid factor.
If it was, then you could much easier blame it on water consumption, or the phenomenon of men who wear long pants during certain portions of the year.
