In reply to the discussion: Mental illness isn't the cause of mass shootings, let's just make that clear [View all]ProgressiveProfessor
(22,144 posts)23. Much of what you have posted is "Simply NOT TRUE"
(1) Paranoid Schizophrenics -- "there's a conspiracy out to get me". Nancy Lanza was a survivalist who stockpiled weapons to use for murder after the fall of civilization any minute now, and the starving city folks come to ravage her rural sanctuary. She had human-hunting weapons because she had visions of hunting humans, as many survivalists have those same fantasies.
That alone is totally without support, even in the most salacious media reports and contradicted by other known facts.
