The most common denominator of all these shootings seems to be mental illness of the shooter. If gun control advocates want to enact measures that are actually effective in limiting mass shootings, then tackling that connection with mental illness and gun ownership is where they should focus.Aaron Alexis, the ex-Navy reservist who killed 12 in a massacre at Washington Navy Yard, had been treated for mental issues including paranoia, a sleep disorder and had been hearing voices, officials tell The Associated Press.
You're really going out on a limb there. Blazing away at anybody and everybody just to rack up a big body count in the minutes before they exit this world...yeah, those people aren't well adjusted.Professor Tiger wrote:

Does it have to be JUST the gun grabbers that do the tackling? Maybe if a mass shooter turns out to actually BE a gun control advocate, then the onus should absolutely shift their way. Until then, it appears the gun nuts need to do a better job of policing their own. Sorry, make that gun enthusiasts. Sounds awkward asking for nuts to crack down on psychos..If gun control advocates want to enact measures that are actually effective in limiting mass shootings, then tackling that connection with mental illness and gun ownership is where they should focus.

FBI assistant director Victoria Parlave stated at a press conference on Tuesday that authorities, “do not have any information at this time that [Alexis] had an AR-15 in his possession.”
Despite there being no evidence that an AR-15 was used, the New York Daily News ran a front page headline yesterday morning entitled, “Same Gun Different Slay,” next to a picture of an assault rifle.
Hours after the FBI stated that no AR-15 had been used, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner, who previously blamed the Boston bombings on Alex Jones,continued to use an animated graphic depicting Alexis carrying an assault rifle during the massacre.
Anti-second amendment crusader Piers Morgan also erroneously blamed the shooting on “a man with a legally purchased AR-15, who just committed the same kind of atrocity as we saw at Sandy Hook, and Aurora,” during his CNN show on Monday.
CNN’s live news coverage also reported that Alexis had “recently purchased (an) AR-15 shotgun,” when in fact that purchase had been denied.
Both the New York Times and the Washington Post also falsely reported that an AR-15 had been found on Alexis after the massacre.
DC gun grabbers Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin also regurgitated the false claim that Alexis used an AR-15 during the rampage.
The US press has once again behaved like state media in the aftermath of the Navy Yard shooting by pursuing the assault rifle angle – despite the fact that it was patently false – in order to bolster the White House’s gun control agenda.
In doing so, they have concurrently buried an integral aspect of mass shootings that needs to highlighted as part of a national conversation – the clear connection between violent outbursts and SSRI drugs.
