One thing that really hasn't been mentioned is Social Media. There has been a definite increase in mass shootings since the advent of Social Media.

The news media presents almost nothing but divisive issues anymore. "If it bleeds it leads".. Amazing how this country is split almost down the middle on social issues.

Then add in forums like this. Well maybe not exactly like this since this forum is multifaceted with the discussion of many issues. But look at forums that are dedicated to certain topics. Those forums present one side of an issue. You get some impressionable kid and egg him on, instill hate and violence and you have a recipe for disaster. Look how many kids spend their days online. For some it is their only social interaction.

This problem is way bigger than firearms. Bullying, mental health, media input, self biases.. You name it, they can all contribute. But until we find the root cause this will continue to happen.
