I know people are going to take their usual positions about guns but we've always had guns. We haven't always had this number of mass shootings. What has changed?

You are correct. We have become a hate filled society, where it is now normal
NOT to express what we believe in, but only to insure we identify those we hate.
I am not anti gun, but I resent the thinking that being macho is an answer. That seems to be the prevailing mood now, and frankly it will worsen...our individual psyches cannot take hate day in and day out. We are being "taught" and shown by examples each day that we should "fight fire with fire" and playing a victim is acceptable.
You mentioned young people and that is for another thread, but in any case, if you simply bring up disgust at shootings, you are assured you will be assailed and told guns don't kill people....somebody once asked...then why do killers have them ?
I have no idea of this particular motive, but you must be filled with hate to even contemplate action like this
