From No Crime to the Most Deadly of Crimes in One Giant Step

   A week ago, I posted on how many of our mass murderers have no prior criminal history. So, it was of interest to me today when I found a New York Times article saying that at least eight gunmen in in 15 recent mass shootings either had criminal records or documented mental health problems. Some of these eight, then, had mental health problems, but not criminal histories.
   So, most did not have criminal backgrounds. It, then, remains of interest to me that so many of these shooters go from no criminal history at all, straight to the top of the crime list, becoming the most deadly criminals of all.
