A lot of interesting discussion. So what has changed?
I have to agree with fishenjim, I would not at all be surprised if most of these mass murders were on some type of prescription medication and that that tidbit of info is being kept quite. Prescription meds are much more common than they used to be.
I would also venture a guess that most of these mass murders are from broken/single parent homes. Another thing that is much more common these days.
Regarding other comments:
knieft - "Do you mean automatic military weapons? Semi-automatic? Bump stocks?"
I assume you are one of the folks here that understands that "assault rifle" does not have a technical definition. For all others - It has different definitions in different jurisdictions. It some cases it is simply because the gun 'looks scary' (no I'm not joking).
HOTPE - "and will move on to another activity if any amount of effort is required."
I'm not sure another activity would be chosen rather then just another weapon.
leilanidude and JustinK -
Both of my husbands (ex and current) grew up in areas where they took guns to school so they could hunt on the way there or the way back. In Conneticut (ex-husband) they gave them to the principle in he morning and picked them up when school was out. No problems. My current hubby was in the shooting club in HS in Calif.
glinda - If you realize you are not mature enough to own a gun then thank you for not having one. Please do not project that immaturity one everyone else.
