Complete and utter BS. Anyone that walks into a school and kills 17 people has a very serious mental health issue. It doesn't take a PhD to figure that out.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the people that *are* mentally ill and *do* act out with weapons and kill people.

Your wife may tell you that those poor people are really good and just need some treatment and understanding, but the fact is that many mentally ill people cannot be cured and do have a tendency to kill innocents.
