As I have mentioned before, the answer is that US gun ownership went from 300 to 400 million in the last 2 years. That answers, why Mass Murders are increasing. Now the question is WHY that big increase (about 15% per year) in US GUN ownership. Somehow (?) the social fabric togetherness is unraveling?
..........One thing I know, Russia and China are happy about the US unraveling! The Proud Boys, The Oath Keepers, The 3% ers, and other anarchists are overjoyed !
...........Another thing I know is that the US being the 1st world's leader in wealth disparity does NOT make a society MORE stable. The average person sees the problem when the top 1% ers keep getting wealthier. Jeff Bezos's yacht is about 4 football fields long, with a separate baby yacht to land his girlfriend's helicopter. Elon Musk has done a few strange things. A tax base that helped resurrect the middle class is needed today before things get LESS stable.
........Another thing - the near future (now until 2026) looks pretty dire and unpredictable. I wish the US had 100% of its citizens vote like Australia does! We have a lot to lose!
