Cool, so everyone knows that it's the sheer number of guns, problem solved...

No confirmation bias whatsoever. It's such an obvious answer, everyone that disagrees must be a complete idiot, or a right wing Trump supporter.

Correlation = Causation

End of conversation.

Oh wait, Finland, Switzerland, Canada (to name a few), all countries with very high per capita civilian gun ownership rates, don't have the same rate of "mass shootings" as the U.S.

Is the lack of "social safety nets" a problem? What about racial diversity / tensions? What about mandated paid vacation days? There are so many areas to examine WHY someone would go and commit murders on a scale like that.

Yes, the answer to the HOW is obvious. There's no doubt that America has relatively speaking easy access to an unlimited number of guns. BUT, I was asking a pointed question on the WHY.
