It really ticks me off that certain American politicians blame "mental illness" for mass killings, ignoring the fact that most people with mental illness are not deadly or dangerous.
Mass shootings are not solely due to automatic weapons either, but are due to the *combination* of severe aggression or mental illness, combined with access to deadly assault rifles like the AR-15 which was used in two recent mass shootings. Take away one *or* the other, and you stop mass killings. And let's face it, it's far easier to stop the sale of military grade weapons than to stop people from being aggressive.


Canada and the UK have the same number of people with mental illness and aggression, but far fewer mass killings because assault rifles are banned.
