Left / right? In the US today, the authoritarianism is coming from the right. Mass shootings are almost entirely committed by alienated young men, although occasionally they are older. Such men tend to align themselves with the extreme right-wing as we saw on January 6, 2021.
In the US there have been assassinations committed by deranged anarchists, but no mass killings tha I can recall.
If you are talking specifically about mass shootings, that's a relatively recent thing. The first one I can recall was the University of Texas shootings with a deranged man in a tower shooting multiple students. He didn't need an AR-15 because he was in a secure location with a lot of victims below.

People of questionable childhoods is the tightest correlation I've found, starting with single-parent homes. I suspect more right-wing people will naturally be included since left-wing people are generally anti-guns, and we're focusing on shooters rather than stabber or bombers or rapists or child molesters, e. g.
As for why, I would start with absence of school choice.
I don’t think we can separate them into categories, whether they were in the left or right. The only category they’re in is the crazy category. Just acknowledge that they were/are evil people and the political side they are in doesn’t really have to do with anything. No leader from any party wants their followers to go in a school and viciously kill children.
Right-wing extremists are more likely to engage in politically motivated violence. It has been well documented.

It seems like they are usually liberals or it is some deranged nutjob that was a democrat. Every time ot happens the media starts to licktheir chops thinking it is a Trump supporter and when it turns out the shooter is a liberal or an illegal alien all of a sudden the story gets squashed.
The left obviously. But they want us to pretend it's just us whaite men doing it all. For reals these fuckers watchin NPC news thinks it really nothing but me killing everyone.
globally speaking homicides committed by Democrats have been WAY higher up untill like 2012, which since then, republicans have overtaken. but the trend currently goes towards Democrats leading again.
Leftist/Democrats or their sympathizers do. I have an unstated (here) opinion why that is true. Read the names of the shooters for a hint.
Most are right winged. Tbh I've only heard one been left obviously there will be more but the fact i've only one was says a lot.
plot twist: these mass shootings are all planned to brainwash people to believe guns are dangerous to take our guns away
A mass shooting is defined as 3 or more people getting shot in one particular setting.
I don't understand what exactly you mean what political side has more mass shooters?
I don't think there's any substantial data on that matter.there's a mass shooting going on in Democrat cities like Chicago every week
I think this is a very deep wound in America that far transcends political sides.
I have lost track of all the mass shooters in the USA, i don't tend to take much notice of them, except the incels.
Mass shooters tend to vote democrat, because democrats save their live.
Is it really a contest?
Most mass shooters don't have political ideology as a motive.
The right obviously... but they all are assholes.
I never gave that much thought but these are strange and dangerous times
The left. In part because they want to frame the Right by pretending to be Right leaning.
almost all of those vote independent.
You posted all them black faces. This is racially motivated
Right. They think they are right to do so.
I think the left has the most shooters.
Obviously the left wing crazies.
