2. I hope this does not

Lead to the scapegoating of the mentally ill because we are less violent by than normal people for the most part.

Republicans are already conflating mental illness with psychopaths.
The two are not the same. People with things like schizophrenia, depression or trauma are not psychopaths.

Republicans always target the most vulnerable people and I hate it.
