Mass shootings, while not commonplace in the States, certainly seem to be hovering around the two dozen plus mark since the past number of years. I think it's a symptom of something -- though I of course can't qualify that -- and while individuals are likely psychotic to one degree or another, there just seems like there should be something fundamental to it all. I'm not sure if it's necessarily guns -- which, when readily available, do enable killings en mass to happen with greater ease, but, really, it being the root cause of it would just be guessing on my part.
If anyone has any interesting studies done about this, link them.
