97.8 Percent of Mass Shootings Are Linked to This

While many have bought into the simplistic idea that availability of firearms is the cause of mass shootings, a number of experts have pointed out a more uncomfortable truth, which is that mass shootings are far more likely the result of how we’ve been mistreating mental illness, depression and behavioral problems
Gun control legislation has shown that law-abiding Americans who own guns are not the problem, because the more gun control laws that have been passed, the more mass shootings have occurred
97.8 percent of mass shootings occur in “gun-free zones,” as the perpetrators know legally armed citizens won’t be there to stop them

Lots of hard, unpopular truths in this article. I've said for years the biggest problem with mental illness in this country is that we try to ignore it, act like it doesn't exist, and attempt to shift the blame on those "evil scary looking weapons of war". Add in Big Pharma pushing poison pills with worse side effects than the condition they are supposed to treat (and not just for depression/mental illness) and you have the perfect storm for exactly the situation we find ourselves in today.

Just what I thought, Brother Dale.
