I know this is Reddit but I scanned the article and it looks like this is for people who know they have a mental illness to protect themselves when they may not be thinking clearly. That’s it. It’s not some super cure for mass shootings or gun violence and it was never intended to be so.
Anyway, y’all can get back to your galaxy brain comments now.

Yeah fair enough. I didn't read very much of it. Then again - usually I never find these worth reading. But my bad nonetheless.

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.
