Exactly. Mental illness doesn't cause mass shootings anyways.

Wrong on that, every mass shooter has a history of mental illness and/or use of mental health med’s.

Having a mental illness is still not the cause of them though. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/why-mental-illness-cant-predict-mass-shootings
People who have mental illness are a lot more likely to suffer violence than to perpetrate it. An awful lot of people in the country suffer from a mental illness of some kind but they don't shoot anyone.
