On the subject of mass shootings which someone brought up recently.
I found this article interesting in my research, in 2022, all U.S. extremist mass killings were linked to far right, report says. Also this isn't a gun control post.

The number of mass killings linked to extremism in the U.S. in the past decade was at least three times higher than any decade since the 1970s, per the report.
Between 2011 and 2020, there were 21 mass killing incidents in the U.S., compared to only five from 2001 to 2010.
From 1991 to 2000, there were seven mass killing incidents in the U.S., and only two from 1981 to 1990, and six between 1971 to 1980.
"The 26 mass killing incidents over the past 12 years actually exceed those from the previous 40 years (20)," the report stated.
State of play: The number of deaths associated with mass killing incidents has also risen.
Between 2010 and 2020, 164 people died in ideological extremist-related mass killing incidents, more than in any other decade other than the 1990s — in which nearly all the deaths were associated with one event, the Oklahoma City bombing.
"It is not an exaggeration to say that we live in an age of extremist mass killings," the report said.
