MOST PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS ARE NOT
VIOLENT AND ONLY 3%–5% OF VIOLENT ACTS CAN BE
ATTRIBUTED TO INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH A SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS. IN FACT, PEOPLE WITH SEVERE MENTAL
ILLNESSES ARE OVER 10 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE VICTIMS
OF VIOLENT CRIME THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION. MAYBE THOSE WHO KEEP CLAIMING THAT GUN
PROBLEMS ARE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS SHOULD
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A PSYCHIATRIST.
