Criticizing an article serves no purpose unless you're the
   editor or publisher. Since you're not Gwenol* Buck - and the
   issue of gun deaths as well as the issue of mental illness has
   been brought up, talk about them or rewrite the article. Either
   way is productive. "This article sucks and here's why" says
   nothing to further discussion.   I don't like the bad
   correlation either. I agree. I also found other things; while
   the headline says "mass shootings" a number of examples were
   kids killing parents. Is that a mass shooting?

   I'd even go so far as to say the article is poorly written.

   Conclusions invalid. I could shred the whole thing apart.

   But regardless of the bad correlation, which _is_ worth pointing
   out and you are correct about that, do you think that mental
   illness, being a contributing factor in killings, is a subject
   worthy of discussion?
