The FBI said the number of shooting incidents has increased from 6.4 per year from 2000 to 2006 to 16.4 per year from 2007 to 2013. Since 2000, there have been 486 fatalities and 557 wounded. Officials only counted incidents involving a person who wanted to harm the general public, not incidents that involved drugs or gang violence.

The study also found that nearly half of all shootings take place at private businesses, with schools and universities accounting for one-quarter.

Due to the number of people in schools, they often account for the largest number of casualties. The single greatest loss of life occurred at Virginia Tech in 2007, when 32 people were killed.

It's going to take the right people getting killed before anything is done.

Now who those right people are, I'm not sure, but we all know who are not the right people.

There's definitely a problem and it has little to do with guns.

Because gun violence (violence) is a social/psychological software issue, not a hardware issue.

I will venture to say that very few people if any think that no problem exist.

So maybe "these people" are your imaginary friends?

Of course media orgasm over these events has gone up 15 fold. You don't suppose there could be a connection between sick, twisted people wanting to send a message and the fact that their message now gets broadcast 24/7 for two weeks? Wow I'm an honorary forensic psychologist now!

Let 'em come. Good way to see what they're up against. The government has created two generations of angry war vets that ain't going to take no shit off its rent-a-cops. That's not even counting rednecks. They want a war. There's one waiting for them. And it ain't overseas. ;)

Mass killers are not about race, nor are they necessarily about economics, they are about failed expectations and psychological instability. They are also about an increasingly judgmental and superficial society that expects total conformity and treats non-conformists like they have no right to exist. If you want a nicer society, teach your children to have compassion. It is the lack of compassion that is producing these killers.

The best I've read from psychologists is they don't really know what turns people into mass shooters, it's not something they can predict.

I have read some about how mass shooters tend to be isolated so some of what you say sounds reasonable, that perhaps because they don't conform they get shut out or shut themselves out.

Mass killings are about people being crazy as fuck, popped on anti-depressants, and living undisciplined lives.

It is a slow process I think. From grade school to high school, kids become more conformist and less tolerant of kids who are quiet, don't conform in dress and don't enjoy what the other kids enjoy. Being shy and individualist is a recipe for disaster because kids are really intolerant. With all of the media at their disposal and insufficient parental supervision they perpetrate really nasty and I would say criminal attack campaigns on children that they don't understand. Kids without sufficient parental interference are really like vicious wild animals in a survival of the fittest paradigm. Like the lowliest of animals, these non-conformist kids are picked on and starved out of the pack until they leave. However rogue animals can be dangerous as can these kids.

I wonder how many mass killers have been driven a little insane by prescription drugs handed out by the shrinks to suppress normal male behavior?

how many have been made violent by watching Hollywood movies and playing violent video games?

how many have been confused by the 24/7/365 emphasis on sex in the modern libertine culture?

I'm sure that prescription drugs play a role with some. Again, re sex - failed expectations? Violent media - the experts think not but I don't know.

When it comes to mass shootings, it's as good an answer as any other. We really don't know why people do it.
