This is so bitterly, hilariously, obviously different than saying 'most mass shootings are perpetrated by people non compos mentis'. Withal, in my life I have read a great many studies focusing on humans and the conclusion I have drawn more than any other is -- studying humans is flawed and difficult. I choose to fall back, as ever, on common sense.Epidemiologic studies show that the large majority of people with serious mental illnesses are never violent.
