bighairymike: It's the criminals and crazy people with guns.

Since this thread is about mass shootings, this has been studied and been proven FALSE.

Approximately 5% of mass shootings are related to severe mental illness. A slightly larger percentage of mass shooters have suffered from a psychiatric or neurological illness like depression at some time but their conditions are incidental to the shootings.

There's actually a stronger correlation between domestic violence and mass shootings.

But mostly it's the guns.
