Not all people with mental illnesses were born with them. Many (most?) are the result of various events happening in one's lives like a trauma or a set of circumstances.
I get the rest of your post and I don't necessarily disagree when it comes to linking mental illnesses with gun control legislation. But, I have a hard time thinking anyone who commits or wants to commit mass murder is of sound mind.
