in reply to Nonilex • • •We don't really know what it is, but there's something *besides* guns that causes it.
There has been an extremely significant uptick in mass schootings in the US in recent years, which isn't supported by a significant enough liberalisation of gun rights in that period. There has to be something else going on.

in reply to miki • • •With that said, guns are a *necessary first step* that makes mass shootings possible, but there's more to them than just access to guns.
Whatever the trend is, even Europe isn't fully immune from it either, see e.g. the attacks in Berlin a few years ago where a person drove a truck into a large crowd of pedestrians. The tool is different, the effect is similar.
