Statistically speaking, the majority of violence committed on a day to day basis are not by those that are "mentally ill." The only reason why this is even coming up is because of how much attention the shootings involving mentally ill people receive.
It's absolute BS to be placing any stigma of violence on mental illness, when at large, the problem of violence and crime at large doesn't have anything to do with mental health. This is just a way of having people feel like the issue is being addressed.
