What is it? Are guns the problem? Some of the incidents have occurred in states with some of the stricter guns laws.

Locking people down for a year probably didn't help.

Media driving people apart and stoking violence.

Certain folks are motivating it for political gain.

Heard moments before the shooting:

"why'd the money spicket stop? I don't WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK!!!"

Hope this helps

We are a massive country with 350 million people that is organized and well run enough to have every single crime well documented.

Did this happen under the Trump admin every week? No it did not. I wonder what changed?

I'm far from a conspiracy theorist or believer in them but I find it quite interesting how we went from 0-100 real quick when the only thing that has changed is the POTUS.

Let's see, I am pretty sure Fed Ex nor anyone else in logistics allows guns in their facilities. I guess this guy just didn't get that memo because he surely would have followed it, just like criminals would turn in their guns if owning them was made illegal.

Media driven discontent, mental illness, erosion of decency and value for life, simmering tension fueled by today’s culture, media, social media, and isolation (as our society has become more deluged in mass communication, ironically, we are more alone than ever before as real connections are absent from people’s lives.

They happen all the time, especially drive-bys. It is up to the media when they want to magnify certain themes.

I doubt they are happening with an above average frequency. It is just now that the media has decided to put a magnifying glass on it for agenda purposes.

Shootings occur every day. Some to take lives, some to protect them. The MSM reports on the ones that drive a narrative of some sort.

Guns are a tool and are only as good as the person wielding them.

The real problem we have in this world is sin, and the only solution to it is repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Taking away tools won't end violence and sin.

Because we'd rather blame guns, racism, and the boogeyman (white supremacist)for all the countries problems.

The media, large corporations, universities, and many politicians celebrate mental illness, and have taken all personal responsibility and accountability away from certain groups of people.

Those same organizations turn victims into villains, and criminals into heroes.
