Why do you think a person decides to become a mass shooter?

[purplepoppy]

You teach people always to stand your ground, never let anyone push you around, never let anyone disrespect you, never be a beta etc. Then you teach them owning a gun is the key to all this, it's the tool that stops people treading on you. So is it really a surprise they decide to solve their issues by shooting up a mall?

[Jersey2]

Some to show how smart they are, some to have control, some to live out a fantasy, some from mental illness, some from rage, some from self centered anger.

The guy this week that shot himself at an amusement park I think wanted people to know he could have done it but decided on his own not to. I don’t think they are that smart at all.

[BigDog1989]

Access to guns, of course

I'm not saying we get rid of the second amendment, I'm saying, if they couldn't pass a background check, they shouldn't have access to a gun, and also likely should be prosecuted, since, well, they just didn't pass a background check, which means, somethings up

[Daniela1982]

Because they are Born Losers and haven't got the guts to take their own lives, so they take others with them by shooting up a school, church, or business.

[FunkyMonkee]

A lot of them are psychos to begin with. In some cases, they've just had a shit hand dealt to them in the game of life and just get to the point where they just can't take it, anymore. And then, quite a few of them were Montauk boys who were brainwashed and programmed into being killers when given their trigger word.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Easy to say and blame it on mental problems, but these idiots knowingly and prepare do what they do because they feel extremely miserable with their pathetic lives and blame society for it somehow in their crazy minds it makes sense so they decide to murder others in masses randomly to express their grievances.

[Starrrboy]

Outcasts and people who feel inferior.. taking someone's life is like the ultimate statement to help them feel so powerful and gain attention.. just like serial killers... They want to feel like God for a while.. because again, they feel inferior...

[boggboss]

Disregard for life and no longer caring about what happens aslong as they let out their anger with a large does of mental illness

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I don’t know really.

I can only imagine a miserable life a person can have so that he wants to ruin all the beautiful and happy people.

I feel sorry, there are people like this among us.

[exitseven]

They have been bullied and feel powerless. They feel like they have no voice in the world. So to be heard they get a gun and shoot up a school.

Either that or they are nuts and the voices keep telling them to kill.

[Anemone978]

Pathetic loser upset that no one gives a shit about them.. and they don't want to die without people noticing..

[Asker]

Would you have sex with an incel in order to stop him

[Anemone978]

No but I could put them out of their misery if they were willing.. LOL

[Sour-rose]

Life means nothing to one. And when it doesn't, what does a whole crowd matter? Kids? Who gives a fu-

[Anonymous]

the comments here is proof of why they exist

they were bullied, abused and neglected throughout their life

they are being called pathetic losers with no empathy by people with no empathy for them to begin with before they became mass shooters. it's no wonder why they become mass shooters

[RavVid]

They are fucked in the head. There is not going to be one reason other then there life is intolerably bad.

[mandyfire98]

Mental illness, personality disorders, lack of empathy.

[Nuget]

I don't know, but the FBI knew all about the last one, and they failed to protect us.

[Anonymous]

They are a failure in life and likely mental illness as well

[collie22]

Psychopaths... no relationship with God, No Morales , They don't know the difference between right and wrong.

[Anonymous]

Most don't, I think most are just broken people. They never learned the value of human life. They have no empathy, so therefore they never look at all the lives that'll will be forever altered by their selfish, thoughtless act.

[andreasderjuengere]

They grew up in a weak culture that ''heroifies'' violence?

[Anonymous]

decides? they don't decide. it is in their blood and how they were born. their brain is mentally damaged.

[sparklycoconut]

They want to hurt people. I think it's that simple.

[ProbablyClueless]

They're hopeless in life and extremely mentally unstable.

[Dargil]

They feel the world is hopelessly lost and they want to share their misery with others.

[gorydetails]

They want the internal pain they feel spread out on other people.

[007kingifrit]

its called the media contagion effect, the media causes shootings by giving shooters attention which is what they really want.

[TonyMetal___86]

Because he has no brain at all, criminal in his blood, has no faith in god!

[Anonymous]

when they no longer know how to deal with their feelings of whatever. hatred, anger, loneliness, jealousy.

[normalice]

To feel powerful

[loveslongnails]

They're ill, and they feel unloved.

[Evelyn99]

Mental illness.

[Akam93]

Mental issues.

[Asker]

But we all have mental issues

[Asker]

I am bipolar and schizophrenia

[Akam93]

I mean serious mental issues. Like hearing voices in your head, having weird obsessions with killing people, also includes life having no family to care for you or loves you. Bullying is another.

[YAsQuen]

society really cared for them
