Despite the fact that most mass shootings are carried out by people without a diagnosed mental illness, mental illness is still commonly used as a defense for these massacres. Not only is it a misconception that mental health is a primary factor in most of these crimes but these claims demonize the 57.8 million Americans who suffer from one or more mental illnesses. A prime example is the convicted murderer Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, in 2018. According to a report by CNN, he will not be subjected to the death penalty due to his defense painting him as mentally disturbed, despite mental health experts who evaluated him and testified that he was not. www.yahoo.com/news/data-show-loose-gun-rules-152555294.html |

The United States has more mass shootings than every other country in the world. However, the U.S. is not the only country where people suffer from mental illnesses. So, what is the common denominator?

The United States has more mass shootings than every other country in the world. However, the U.S. is not the only country where people suffer from mental illnesses. So, what is the common denominator? They are statistically irrelevant in the big picture over the last 41 years. As compared to, let's say abortion, with 60 million innocent babies killed. There have been at least four mass shootings so far in 2021, all of which have come in the last month and have left a total of 30 people dead and at least seven injured. The incidents serve as a reminder that, after a brief lull in 2020 when only two incidents met the formal definition of a mass shooting, leaving nine victims dead, the horrific and regular spates of public gun violence that have plagued the country for at least four decades are not over. A database of mass shootings compiled by Mother Jones going back to 1982 counts 123 such incidents in which at least three people were killed, not including the gunman. In that time, 952 people have been killed and 1,315 wounded. The following chart visualizes each mass shooting in terms of deaths and injuries. TIME has examined each incident and slightly adjusted some values as the death toll and number of injured has been clarified. link |

The common denominator would be irrelevant hyperbole. |

A person does not have to suffer from a diagnosable mental illness to become mentally unbalanced.

Like I posted, irrelevant hyperbolic nonsense statistically. The annual odds that an American child will die in a mass shooting at school are nearly 10 million to 1, about the odds of being killed by lightning or of dying in an earthquake.link |

There are many ways to calculate the harm and deaths of children in school shootings.
Your numbers are devastating for the families of these children.
You do not take into account the children shot and not killed or the effect on all involved.
But then again you consider it collateral damage of your 'right'.
