You make very good points. Even IF these people can be classified as mentally ill, it's meaningless. millions of Americans are mentally ill. They suffer from depression, personality disorders, obsessive compulsions, and they're not going on mass shootings. Some of them have illness so crippling they cannot function in daily life, and still they don't go on mass shootings. So I think it's pretty clear that the would-be mental illness of these shooters is not a factor.
