Mass shootings by young males

What is it about 18-20 year old males that makes them want to take semi automatic rifles, go to a public place and shoot as many people as they can before they either shoot them selves or make a fast get away - like a true coward.
What makes them do such a thing?
There are still mass shootings waiting to happen at your local shopping mall or movie theatre in the coming days.

Those guys have always existed, and they will always exist. Mankind will never change.
Question is whether or not suicidal mass murderers can get hold of a semi-automatic gun. It's more difficult to kill 25 people with a paper knife, although not entirely impossible.

@helenS You guys are having a mass shooting a week right now. The rate is continuing to increase. No other country in the world has mass shootings as often as the US.

@justanothername I wanted to say that mass shootings will always happen [b]if[/b] and [b]only if[/b] the necessary tools are easily available. In a country where people sell semi-automatic guns like other shop-owners sell lawn mowers, nobody should be too surprised about the outcome.

@helenS You would be correct. No other country as amendments like the US. You also pay the price of human life for the interpretation of that amendment.
