Why do people think believing in God will stop mass shootings?

Anonymous
I saw a Facebook post by someone who said that growing up, their peers would have their guns in their truck cabs at school and there were no school shootings, and that mental health issues have always existed. They said that the true solution is to "love and know God." If this is true, every time people send thoughts and prayers, why doesn't God stop mass shootings? Or is it because he's not real?
