I can't help but think it's a mental health thing. Most of the people are legitimately crazy. Like the guy shooting from his car in Texas. The gun wasn't legal and he had several health issues. Man lived in a house without utilities. I just think people stressing to much and they snapping. I dunno what to think if I'm being honest. On the one hand I wonder if guns are the issue, but on the other hand they are necessary for defense of our rights right? I agree with OP there has to be a system or a trick that we haven't figured out yet.

I agree also. Having easier access to guns makes killing more people easier I don't think its the main part of the problem like op asks.
Look at some places in Africa where whole towns are slaughtered and nobody used a gun, people will kill how ever then can figure out to.
I do think that if less places were gun free some people might think twice before coming in to start shooting.

While I agree to the first statement (that people will manage to kill others without guns as well), I don't think the
logic adds up in this one:

I do think that if less places were gun free some people might think twice
before coming in to start shooting.

These mass shooters mostly don't care if they live or die, for some their own death is part of the show and planned
beforehand.
The more interesting question for me is how to not let people turn insane like this in the first place.

Other examples of mass killings without guns are the centuries of war in the Phillipines (mostly fought with clubs and
machetes/knives), and the historic amok runs in Malaysia, by tradition done with daggers (this is called "Kalis hand").
Also the sect of the "thugs" in india could do their stuff without fire arms (partly using ropes to strangle their
victims). When it comes to killing each other, the human mind seems to be very creative. Posted on: def3.i2p

https://www.nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/2019/08/31/us/us-mass-shootings.html

"51 People Died in Mass Shootings in August Alone in the U.S.

So far this year, there have been at least 38 shootings with three or more fatalities, data shows."

and this does not even count all the shootings that are deemed legal (civilians shot by lea).

given the fact that there are other countries where ownership of guns is normal but without any mass shootings resulting (like canada, iceland, switzerland for example), there must be something specific about the us.

why do so many people there feel the need to kill others that they don't even know ? is it this white supremacy thing ?

i just don't understand it...
