The writer of “Level of commitment” (Letters, Aug. 13) can’t be serious. He agrees with President Trump that the root cause of mass shootings is mental illness, not guns. Not only has research repeatedly debunked this myth, but the U.S. does not have a monopoly on mental illness (or violent video games or hate speech).
And if he has to ask whether Trump is sincere about creating a conservative utopia where the mentally ill undergo some kind of anti-gun therapy, I’ll remind him that one of Trump’s first executive orders made it easier for the mentally ill to obtain a firearm.

Note from KBJ: Don't project your insincerity onto President Trump, John.
