I mean i generally agree with your point and i know its a small detail but it kinda rubs me the wrong way when people always bring up mental health when talking about mass shootings. There isn’t much of a link between mental illness and violence despite common belief. And i have ptsd, bipolar and psychosis which are often associated with violence but i and nearly everyone else with these illnesses just these shooters as nazi assholes.
I don’t believe you had any wrong intentions or anything and i believe that healthcare is a human right, but i thought i should clarify.
The gun crowd bring it up only to do nothing about it anyway. It’s just something to blame, they don’t want to fund healthcare, education, research and welfare, and lose their scapegoat.
You do have a fair point on problem of association. I don’t think diagnosed mental condition have significant prediction power either. Instead, I believe that occasional mental healthcare counselling on people who we find to be normal will be the one that improve this situation.
