Mental illness and guns

Being ostracized in school years before

Coming back shooting up that school

Killing innocent children and staff

Guns are still attached to the trigger

Mental illness as a reason hurts the truly ill

Guns are the reason behind people killing people

Mental illness is the excuse behind the reason.
