Insanity is a legal term. Is is not synonymous with mentally ill. Insanity means you are incapable of judging your own actions. The classic example is someone who kills a "demon." They can't meaningfully plea, aid in their own defense, understand the charges, etc.

Either way at bottom it’s really infuriating because it’s such a shameless way dismiss all accountability re: white nationalism “hey, there’s nothing we can do about these ‘tragedies’! These lone-wolves are just crazy!”

But there is something we can do about it.If we refuse to ack these issues,we won’t be able to ID them in childhood&hopefully address disorders during formative yrs.And those diagnosed w/serious personality disorders like psychopaths,should not be permitted to possess guns.

I don’t want to understate the importance of increased gun regulation. That must be done first or concurrently. Mental health care reforms, once in place, will take much longer to make a difference. People need to be protected now through common sense gun legislation.

At the worst,if they don’t have access to the ammo or types of guns that are most deadly, it at least mitigates the damage done. Many of these shooters obtained guns legally&no one probable stopped this Texas terrorist in his way in bc it was open carry. 1/2

The evidence doesn’t lie. Places that have tighter gun restrictions have less shootings. If they can’t easily get guns a. They may not get their gun of choice,they are usually not experienced arms dealers&b.they put up red flags trying to get guns they want. Evidence proves this.

The correct statement is that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. Sometimes it does. There's never been a randomized controlled clinical trial showing that smoking causes cancer, for instance.
