Your signs blaming mental illness don't exactly make me, a multi-time survivor of gun violence & Bipolar person, feel welcome. People with mental illness are FAR more likely to be victims of gun violence than to perpetrate it. I support the march! But I won't be scapegoated.
That’s true to some extent. But the science has come a long way in the last 34 years, too. And the fact remains that we have legions of untreated mentally ill people here. And very likely we can impact gun deaths to a far greater extent through healthcare laws than gun laws here

Mental health issues account for most suicides (which are 2/3 of all gun deaths, actually) and mass shootings. Often, those people lack diagnoses, which is the point. Most studies cite previous diagnoses to determine if mass shooters are mentally ill.

Healthcare will actually reduce mass shootings, suicides, *and* save thousands of lives directly. And with how DC works, they’re unlikely to do either one as it is, much less both. But let’s push for the one that will actually help the most folks, and will actually work.
