The answer, IMHO, starts at home.

The US has about 23% single parent families. And Great Britain has about 21%. The last school shooting in GB was in 1996, and a law was passed banning some guns and there has not been another since.
I am NOT saying banning guns would solve the problem here. I am saying there is a tendency to blame mental illness (people are mentally ill all love rate world), single parent homes, (we are not alone), Social Media (there entire world uses it), video games, (everyone plays them all over the world),violent movies (everyone watches them all over the world).
And yet, school shootings like this ONLY happen in the US. The single factor I have found consistently is we are the only country with 400 million guns in circulation.
