Abstract

Following the tragic shootings in Newtown (Connecticut), Aurora (Colorado), Isla Vista (California) and others, increased national attention has focused on the relationship between mental illness and gun violence. While some have called for enhanced regulation of firearm possession by persons with mental illness, others have argued that such actions would be ineffective and enhance stigma associated with mental illness while discouraging treatment seeking.
