But these mass shootings were less common during the 50s when we were rabid commie haters, blithely racist, and healthcare was almost always on your own nickel. You used your soapbox time well, but the issues you ID don't fit our mass shooters.Well, with so many politicians (and people who vote for them) who think survival is optional for people who can't afford healthcare by themselves, who don't care about climate change as long as they can't profit from it and who support businesses even in cases where doing so kills people indirectly or drives people into some kind of wage slavery, I'd say the sentiment is quite deeply rooted...
Going out to shoot directly at people is by far not the only or even most effective way to kill them. And certainly not the only amoral/asocial thing one can do either.
