Mass amounts of hate and fear. I can only guess who is doing it, but I'd say Govt and media and social media. Lots of negative confirmation biases too.
Oh really? Do tell. I actually LIVE in Australia, have all my life, and the legislation that was introduced after the 1996 Port Arthur massacre was the BEST thing the Howard government ever did. We haven't had a single mass shooting since. THAT is what "happened next"! You Yanks and your ridiculous "right to bear arms"! Geez, you'll never learn will ya?
@zagor Why should that matter? We saw a problem (too many guns in the hands of people who couldn't be trusted with them) and we fixed it. Prior to 96 we had mass shootings. Now we don't. You see, gun control WORKS.
@Snsl153 Keep your commie pie faced hobby horse of a face that you have calm! My god, you act as if other weapons don't take their place. You also act as if your chance of dying from a mass shooters is any greater than being struck by lightening a couple times.
The other things you retards do the most, the absolute most? You conveniently ignore that fact that when it comes push or shove time, guns save far more lives, as in 13 times as many lives that are murdered in the US. THOSE MURDERS ARE INCLUSIVE, NOT ALL COMMITTED BY GUN So, you don't believe that? Even so, say it's just 3 times as many lives are saved? It's well worth it. (Me being sarcastic as fuck and acting like you idiots, "NO! Gun Control works, we don't have mass shootings!" "Blah Blah Blah!"
@bingbongbangbung How is Australia 1984ish? I've already disproved the quarantine camps. It was a freakin hotel the govt asked them to stay in. On their own volition.
@bingbongbangbung What does that have to do with gun control? "Full-on 1984"? No, we didn't, even though some of our premiers allowed the power to go to their heads.
@schittywok "... guns save far more lives..." - Oh my God, you can't seriously believe this? A gun is a weapon that is specifically designed to KILL. Wow, the stupidity reaches stratospheric levels here.
@Snsl153 Yes, guns save far more lives. You don't think it happens every single day in every state? I suppose you don't believe that 22 American lives are taken by suicide via PTSD, ex military every single day? It's unbelievable, it's real. With your rhetoric, all cops must be armed with billy clubs.
@Birdlegs The same people that love themselves some government, see government as their god. The very same who want to defund police. The same who will call the police when their life is in danger via getting your head pummeled by a stronger male. Fists. However, we must ban all guns.
@Snsl153 Yet you don't look at the numbers in your country or any other with dumbass laws? What do people do? They rape and use other weapons so as to moot out and mute out everything you say. So, the bull shit that says "We DIDN'T have mass shootings" falls flat. Your chances of being raped or murdered hasn't changed. Plus you gave up your freedom to protect yourself.
Tension, violence in media and last, but not least, guns being highly available. That's not as common in countries with strong regulations or regulations at all.

We have a lousy leader and the people can rise no higher than their leader so yeah
So guns are easy to get 100%. But the big issue is that there is no way to tell if someone will just snap. There is no test that can determine that. But my issue is that people will talk about how they are going to do this online. And no one seems to ever take it seriously.
Lets set the scene. 30,000 gun deaths a year. Majority is suicides and street crime. Getting guns off the street would cut that number way down.
Now why do we have so many mass shootings? Mental health, yes. Europe has socialized medicine which might help that stat. But also really hard to get guns.
Why do you think criminals would turn in their guns just because they are made illegal? Look at how many people smoke Marijuana in states where it is illegal.
You do realize you can make a gun extremely easily right? You can also convert semi automatic guns that are legal to fully automatic guns EXTREMELY easily. It wouldn't change much at all.
There wouldn't be more demand because criminals wouldn't give up their guns. Look at alcohol as an example. People just made their own and smuggled. People drank more when it was outlawed. More people would get guns knowing that the country is less safe than when they were legal.
Who do you think “criminals” are? Hannibal Lecter? No theyre poor people. Asutralia offered money for guns no questions asked and rid themselves of a lot of street violence.
I live in Texas as my name suggests. The border gang violence would only get far worse here. From one mass shooting like this one to one every other week.

Illegal immigration.
In my country we have few immigrants and cities are super safe. You can be a woman and walk the city in the night and nothing's gonna happen to you.

They want to come after our 2nd amendment. look how they got Austrailia... gave their shit up years ago. you Seen what happened next..
What's happening in Australia?

@Snsl153 Australia having less than 2/3 the population of California may also have something to do with it.
@zagor Why should that matter? We saw a problem (too many guns in the hands of people who couldn't be trusted with them) and we fixed it. Prior to 96 we had mass shootings. Now we don't. You see, gun control WORKS.
How convenient you ignored how Australia went full 1984 using the pandemic as an excuse in 2020-2021 lol
Yeah look at what happened in Australia: mass shootings stopped.

dumbasses
@bingbongbangbung How is Australia 1984ish? I've already disproved the quarantine camps. It was a freakin hotel the govt asked them to stay in. On their own volition.
@schittywok how did they get the data for that? Did they count up people who would’ve been murdered if not for someone else with a gun?
@bingbongbangbung What does that have to do with gun control? "Full-on 1984"? No, we didn't, even though some of our premiers allowed the power to go to their heads.
@schittywok "Keep your commie blah, blah, blah..." - go away troll.

@Snsl153 You Ausfags never learn. Giving. uo your freedom to the Femo-Homo agenda makse your shit country even less desirable. Libtard thot

More lost, evil, corrupt humans produced by society.
I'd venture to guess it's that more people are snapping due to hopelessness. I wonder if the suicide rate is also up.
Ask yourself: why doesn't Japan or Switzerland have mass shootings?
Well... yeah. But I guess even in the us we're having increases. Just wondering why.
It's only in the US. There are no mass shootings in places like Japan, Denmark or Sweden. The USA has problems. Mainly guns.
Tension, violence in media and last, but not least, guns being highly available. That's not as common in countries with strong regulations or regulations at all.
We have a lousy leader and the people can rise no higher than their leader so yeah
😆 you’re acting like no innocent people died during trumps reign
@Grubhub like who? surely not that many
@Grubhub and he didn't reign he served there's a difference
If a person is a hater n he gets a gun, he will kill as simple as that.
Its probably due to the massive political divide in America.
On the other hand, this guy was allegedly taken to a psych ward... if thats true, he shouldn't be out.
Because they want to take our guns, then kill most of the population
I think it's mostly mental illness that goes unchecked.
And we give them access to guns galore.

If there's more demand for illegal weapons would prices go up or down?

(Chemcing) street crimes not using self made guns. So answer my question.

Where do the cartels get their guns? Legally. From the US.
XD You're a moron.
Did you plagiarize that retort? Worthy of Rhodes college.
Gee, who could have been supporting policies that were predicted to damage society to protect himself from a cold... hmmm
Antidepressant and ritalin therapies since earliest childhood
Instead of thinking rationally, people try to "fix things" by pulling a trigger more often.
None of the above. The reason is lack of strict gun control. That’s it. This country is fucking retarded.
Cuck
Some insidious conspiracies against certain political groups and just plain emotionism. America has a mental health problem.
We neglect mental health and social media only makes it worse.
When you waste decades avoiding the real problem, mental illness, things like this will keep happening.
mass shootings happen when people take "we do a little trolling" too far
