You are discounting the violence in other places - just pointing out a few of the more publicized ones where there is a similarity between the shooters.

My answer - I don't know - but I've been watching bumper stickers lately - and have come to some stereotypes/generalizations.

Like this morning - heading north on 287 I saw a late model Chrysler 'boat' with the following bumper stickers:

We Vote ProLife
NoBama
McCain and Palin (bit faded)
Romney 2012
Three brand new NRA stickers (the round ones)

I sped up a little to prove my theory . . .
