Surely there must be studies correlating its' rise to something?! Most active shooters are unemployed young white men with minimal education.

Other countries that are far more "woke" and more secular than the US do not seem to have this problem.

In general, lack of proper upbringing in a family unit. Thus you get street thugs and gang bangers with no sense of right or wrong and no respct for anyone.

@Nitedoc The kid who killed kirk had a normal family with the exception that they were really into guns.

@Tastyfrzz Yes, he is the exception. Unfortunately It's difficult to recognise a pyschopath before thay lose it. Even when there are warning signs people tend to ignore them.

@Nitedoc i was surprised to hear that he was a libertarian. I have known others that were equally out there. We had one fellow at work that said he was one and the way he acted scared us all so much HR let him go.

@Tastyfrzz Yes, a psychpath defies logic and reason. Unpredictable, and some are dangerous.
