We immerse our young in violence, from hyperviolent movies to blood-drenched vicious video games, which is how many entertain themselves. Children used to go outside and play games which taught things like fair play, taking turns, contribution to the team, etc.
Is it any wonder that some of them take that frightening bedrock learning out into the world? It isn't guns that are cool, its gratuitous violence that is cool, revenge is cool. The stress of our world only aggravates this. God help us all.
