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.

Study more deeply. In almost all cases, there is outside help. I wonder, from where? 馃

@Oster1 Not sure about that. I believe that most of these guys are "lone wolf" personalities. They prefer being on their own. They have problems connecting to people.
Oster1M
@helenS No, that is the percieved projection. Every single one. 馃様

@Oster1 Really I see them as ticking time-bombs which will explode when their internal pressure has become too high.

@helenS That is rational thinking, BUT, in the last two shootings, there is evidence that the shooter in Buffalo, NY, was being groomed by an ex FBI Agent, and financed. Futhermore, the shooter in Uvalde, TX, was communicating with both, in a Gamers chat room. The TX shooter was given an expensive pickup truck along with over $5,000, in equipment.

Was he trained? I think so. Are there correlations? I think so.

Did PD's stand down? Sure looks like it.

There is so much more, I want to say. I study this, extensivly.

@Oster1 thank you. My opinion is completely uninformed.
Oster1M
@helenS No, you are correct. These loners are of a Psychological makeup.

That is the key. AI finds them on social media. They all, are the same and easy targets, for manipulation.

@Oster1 it鈥檚 still the ease of obtaining the weapons is at issue.
Oster1M
@justanothername Yeah, but how easily, was it facilitated?

@Oster1 either illegally or the gun shop owner wasn鈥檛 following process.
