First I ever even heard of the idea of shooting up a school was from the Boomtown Rats' song "I don't like Mondays" in like 1980. Before hearing that song, it never occurred to me that such a thing could happen.
So perhaps the entire trend was started by Bob Geldof?

The deaths of school kids, teachers and churchgoers is nothing more than collateral damage to the establishment and its pawns in the Democrat Party and GOPe. An armed populace is a threat to their power and control. They can’t just take the guns away without justification.
It ain’t happening. I don’t care if there’s several school shootings per day.

Homogeneous culture that was 80% white and Christian with actual morals. Parents stayed married. Boys who wanted to wear dresses were recognized as mentally ill. You had actual state psychiatric hospitals for long term residence of the mentally ill.
All this is gone.
All this is gone.

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.
Yeah the helicopter parents are always the ones waxing nostalgic about how their generation used to play outside. Then they don't let their own kids do the same and bitch about it.

The degradation of society and family. Elimination of morals.

antidepressants and other behavior-modifying drugs are now ubiquitous among kids

When is "back when"?
Columbine was 25 years ago, and those kids grew up in the 80s/90s.
Also, IIRC, a lot of data showed that even during that post-Columbine period, school shootings were lower than the previous decade. And that data was from pro-2A groups fighting the gun-grabbers who tried to make a national crisis out of it.
So we're talking about kids growing up starting in the 70s, possibly, or 50+ years ago.

That's just a few of many. School shooting are, sadly, not a new phenomenon. But many often just remained a relatively local issue in terms of attention. Now, with the proliferation of media these events get mass attention that was not really possible 40, 50 years ago.
It's not that school shootings are new. What's "new" is everyone knowing about them, almost immediately, regardless of where they occur. Thus we PERCEIVE it as being a new problem...when facts show it really isn't novel
This is probably the best point in this thread.
People are talking about trannies and SSRIs when the biggest school shooting in our cultural zeitgeist happened with kids who were born in 1981.
I think the Bath school disaster is still the worst school violence event, and that happened in 1927.

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.
. . . and what did they replace God with?
