      They are just as vulnerable to differences in reporting, measuring and culture as any other stat.

      Mentally ill people are more likely to be victims of gun violence rather than the perpetrators https://www.mja.com.au/journal/2016/204/10/port-arthur-massacre-and-national-firearms-agreement-20-years-what-are-lessons …

      Most violent people do not have mental illness, and most mentally ill people are not violent.

      never said either. Most mass shooters here are both and most are identified early but cannot be reported due to HIPPA act violations

      No, most mass shooters are not mentally ill. Many have post-hoc diagnoses of personality disorders, but this is not the same.

          what is your definition of mentally ill. Mine includes personality disorders and irrational behavior

          I use medical definitions. Otherwise you are creating your own definition.
