I mean, kind of understandable but... It's hard to say that's the most mentally stable thing to do still. Those aren't mutually exclusive concepts.

Sociopathy is pretty distinct from delusional states. Sociopaths will have the same, full cognitive reasoning and coherency as most people, instead just lacking the same moral inhibitions as other people. It's a matter of insanity vs abnormality, a matter that may have first come to public attention via the Liepold & Loeb trial.

And, generally speaking, the only thing keeping ordinary citizens from mass murder is rule of law, moral compunctions, and lack of motive.
