I know many gun owners. Their weapons are locked up or in hiding and only come out when they go to the range, for cleaning or on the very rare occasion when they're needed for protection of themselves or someone else. As for the mass shootings school, workplace or other events I'd suspect these people have some sort of mental issue or have been abused either physically or mentally and figure this is the best way to handle or deal with the problem. Not right by any means but certainly in their mind it is. Made fun of at school, stepped on or over on a job, or ridiculed by friends. I'll show them attitude. Agree it's sad what's happening but it's the person behind the weapon be it a car, gun, bomb,fire or whatever.
