I really do not see the cause and effect for mass murders and gun free zones.

1. "Could escalate?" Road rage involving firearms is rare. And a shootout involving multiple subjects might happen in Chicago, where most firearms are banned, but not here.
2. "Gun free zones," such as schools, afford the mass murderer a large number of victims who do not have the means (firearms) to effectively end his assault. So he has a longer period of time to continue his assault and maximizes the number of victims, making a bigger name for himself. That is the nexus between "gun free zones" and mass murders.
Do some research and you will find that it is not uncommon for the mass murderer in a "gun free zone" to turn his gun on himself as soon as he is confronted by armed police who are responding to the call for help.
