A new academic review from the Consortium for Risk-Based Firearm Policy
contradicts Fox News' conflation of violence and mental health, finding
that the two are only related under narrow circumstances and that the
vast majority of people with mental health conditions are not violent.
The report calls for developing better "evidence-based criteria" for
determining who is more likely to commit acts of violence and
prohibiting them from owning guns.
