The fact that this happens in the US and NOWHERE ELSE (to this extent) should be ample proof that we’re doing something wrong/bad/crazy. I’m not able to prove that it’s the easy access to firearms, but I’d be willing to bet that someday it WILL be proven that’s the case. Unless we all die first.
The other likely causative factor: Severe inequality between the “haves” and the shooters (as they perceive it). Fix that and the guns would be less likely to kill (except suicides).
