General Discussion

I doubt being active or former military has a lot to do with mass shootings but over 90% are mass shootings are committed by males while a lot of other things are blamed for what happened especially from the right wing.

A lot of former military have mental illness due to deploying into war zones and I'm one of those myself but mental illness is a common narrative after mass shootings even though those with a mental illness are actually more likely to be victims of violence than the rest of the population. Not saying violence is never committed by those with SMI but when it happens those stories are often sensationalized by the media.
