Why all of the mass shootings now, and not back when?

Does anyone ever ask themselves these obvious questions, and I mean honestly?
Why have most of us grown up in an America where there were just as many guns, yet nobody seemed to think…”hey, maybe I should go to school and start killing people.” Or “hey, how about going into a church and mowing people down?”
Why now, and not back then if nothing has changed with people or culture?

There’s a lot of kind of easy answers. No one wants to hear the answers.

Mental health decline particularly with young people, brought on by social media and an educational system that enables it and medicates it through corrupt big pharma.

There was an honor code back then. Fight with fists. Usually afterwards the fighters became friends.
The culture has been ruined.

Because the seal was completely torn off during the 1990s. Now it's viewed by these people as a viable option.

When the left promotes mental health problems in schools age kids for decades, consequences happen

Huge contributor to the problem.
Problem #2 is isolated kids who don’t play with their peers face-to-face and aren’t allowed much freedom in real life while simultaneously being allowed absolute freedom on the internet.

I have no fricking clue.
I graduated high school in 1986 and I used to go duck hunting before school and had a shotgun and boxes of shells in my truck in the school parking lot.
Never once crossed my mind to shoot my classmates.
These kids are fricking weak arse psychos.

This is unfortunately very accurate.

the internet.
When kids find out they can get attention, some will do anything for it.
Humanizing the Columbine shooters was one of the worst mistakes the media made.

Insane asylum’s were a thing.

Because today you get every second of attention that you've always craved. People with mental health issues occasionally become completely immoral and somehow justify these acts. Our society is full of "victims" and they see this as a way to fight back or bring awareness. Sad and sickening.

See, that’s what I’m saying. We’re close in age, and I grew up in a very similar setting with loads of people with guns in their trucks and it never crossed anyone’s mind to do something so sick.

The school shooting? You know, school is just starting.
Posted on 9/5/24 at 9:24 am to Mike da Tigah
The first "modern" mass shooting was Charles Whitman in 1966 on the UT campus. Mental illness is what drove him to do what he did. Then you had the Columbine shooters in 1999 that set off a string of school shootings that have continued almost unabated for the last 25 years.

Well, they took GOD out of schools so there's that. That in and of itself is the main culprit. A lot of kids have no morals and no hope.
