Poll: Mental Health System Blamed for Mass Shootings
Forty-eight percent of Americans blame the mental health system “a great deal” for mass shootings in the U.S., unchanged from January 2011, according to a new Gallup poll.
At the same time, fewer blame easy access to guns now (40 percent) than two years ago (46 percent), which not makes the mental health system the perceived top cause of mass shootings.
