There's really not a compelling link between mental illness in a clinical sense, and mass shootings.

What we have is a societal values problem. Societal illness rather than individual mental illness.

We have a society that values access to firearms over the public good, is increasingly tribalized and alienated from a meaningful sense of community, and a significant percent of the population seem to see violence as both an appropriate way to solve problems, and see people ideologically disparate from them as enemies and not deserving of the equal right to exist peaceably.

That's so ridiculously the inverse of the truth, I can't tell if you're crazy or joking. Gay men don't give a fuck whether something is masculine or not. It's insecure straight guys that are constantly self policing in the perpetual fear of not being seen as adequately masculine.
