I don't do link as a rule because most of you people are too dumb to understand them.
Just one third of mass shootings were committed by people with serious mental illness; the majority of the perpetrators did not have a diagnosis.

I don't think anyone would argue that someone who murders defenseless young children is right in the head. But setting aside the mental state of this particular teenager, if Gov. Abbott believes that mental health is the problem, why hasn't he done more to improve it?
Gov. Abbott has been governor since 2015, and since then, there have been roughly
13 mass shooting events in his state. Yet he has done nothing to expand access to mental health care. Texas has the highest uninsured rate in the country, with
17.3 percent of its population without health insurance. This is roughly twice the national average. Furthermore, Texas also has the most uninsured children in the country—roughly 1 million. Mental Health America rated the state
dead last for overall access to mental health services.
